My orientation as a therapist is grounded in the belief that trust and connection are paramount in enabling exploration. Through exploration, we can uncover the depths of our inner most selves to heal, realize change, and find peace. My approach as a therapist is framed by my background as a music therapist combined with elements of depth-oriented psychotherapy and traditional talk therapy. I work with individuals facing a range of issues including depression, anxiety, LGBTQ+ issues, relationship issues, loss and grief, substance abuse and history of trauma.

For as long as you can remember, there’s been a shadow hanging over you. You can’t see or name it, but it’s always there. Even in your happiest moments, you can feel a constant threat lurking behind you. Lately, you’ve begun to wonder if it has to do with pain from your childhood. Long-forgotten memories have started flooding back without warning. All at once, your heart pounds, and muscles tense. And in a flash, you’re right back to feeling like that scared child you once were. You want to talk about it, but you’re afraid of opening the emotional floodgates you’ve been desperately holding shut for decades. It feels impossible.

Sometimes grief can feel overwhelming. We come to understand that we need help to work through our loss, but it can be difficult to know where to start. As a clinical social worker with five years of bereavement experience, I believe that you can heal. I've worked with many individuals who are new or skeptical of therapy and it has been my great joy to help them gain confidence and hope through our work together. If you experienced a traumatic or overwhelming loss, I would love to provide a safe, affirming space to work through it.

Sometimes we truly needed to cry on that Q train. With everyone watching. With those uncontrollable kind of tears. You know the ones! Sometimes we need these kind of humbling moments to admit to ourselves that things are not right. I believe that everything we experience is inside of us. The ugly moments. The magical moments. We carry it all everyday- our invisible baggage. What are you carrying around?

Psychotherapy can be a challenging and rewarding process. Of course, people come to treatment to talk about what's wrong, but it is also important to talk about what's right. Each person has natural areas of strength we can further develop to help increase coping skills, reduce distress, improve relationships, and develop a more positive outlook.

Weaving through life can be so many things. It can be joyful, exciting, stressful, overwhelming, really whatever word we want to place to describe it. At some points in time it can be incredibly difficult. Everyone has their own unique experiences in life, struggles and obstacles are part of it. It can be overwhelming at times. Learning how to navigate through the more difficult times can be challenging but ultimately rewarding.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
