Everyone at times experiences negative emotions such as sadness, anger or anxiety, but when these emotions become constant companions it is often a sign that something has gone awry. By the time we come to psychotherapy, the task of altering these emotions may feel difficult or impossible to navigate alone. As a psychoanalytic/psychodynamic therapist, I am interested in how your early relationships impact your relationships, personality, perceptions and coping mechanisms. Through the therapeutic process, I aim to help my clients gain insight, learn new ways of relating and implement change in order to heal, grow and flourish.

Many people come to therapy not because their life is falling apart, but because something about the way they see themselves feels heavy or confusing. Over time, our self-image is shaped by experiences and expectations from both ourselves and the world around us. You might find yourself thinking: “Why am I so hard on myself? Why do I feel so uncomfortable in my own skin?”

As a therapist I have worked with college students, adults, veterans, and couples: that is to say individuals managing the ups and downs of life. I love working with my clients and am humbled by their willingness to share their lives with me. In earlier careers I was an arts educator, yoga teacher and small business owner. As a therapist in my 60's I have deep empathy for the struggles of my clients as they navigate the surprises, ( both good and bad) that happen throughout life. I believe taking care of one's mental health is as important as sleep, food, sunlight and air.

My practice centers around providing clients with the skills that they need to thrive in the face of stressful situations. Prior to entering private practice, I worked as a clinical psychologist on the spinal cord injury unit at TIRR. These individuals would have never otherwise sought mental health care but were faced with one of the most stressful and challenging experiences of their lives. My role was to help these individuals to effectively cope with serious, adverse medical events and to live happy, fulfilling lives. Likewise, in my private practice, I strive to help clients successfully navigate complex situations.

Anxiety, overthinking, and perfectionism can make everyday life feel exhausting. You may constantly question your decisions, struggle to quiet your mind, or feel pressure to succeed in your career and relationships. Even when things appear successful on the outside, it can be difficult to feel at ease internally. I work with adults who want to better understand themselves, manage anxiety, and build healthier relationships. Many of my clients are thoughtful, depth-oriented, and motivated individuals who feel stuck in patterns of perfectionism, self-doubt, people-pleasing, or relationship stress.

Do you feel stuck in old ways of thinking? Overwhelmed in your mind and not sure how to break free? In your past, you may have had to be the one to 'push through' difficult situations even in childhood. You may have had to grow up fast, 'be self-sufficient' as a child, or be a 'parent' to your own parents or siblings. Childhood trauma, anxiety, relationship issues, self-doubt, deep insecurity & shame all end up working together to stand in the way of your personal wellness - but they don't have to. I enjoy helping clients heal from their past, while realizing the power that they have within their own life in the present.

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.
