Are you struggling with worries, anxiety, self doubt, depression, or stress? The wisdom of a holistic based therapy might be for you. As an experienced psychologist, I’ve helped numerous clients from pre-adolescents to adults in dealing with anxiety, stress, trauma, loneliness, depression, grief and relational issues. As a meditation/yoga teacher, I blend psychology with various mind-body therapies to assist clients in gaining holistic tools for managing the tough times. Treatment typically begins with traditional psychotherapy but can also include integrative therapies (meditation & breathwork & brainspotting.

We will work together by addressing your identified goals while bringing to light barriers that are hindering progress. While in session, you may find that I tune into your emotional experience to provide unconditional emotional support and utilize this emotional information as a guiding light towards change. We will also focus on building tools for self regulation so you can feel more empowered within yourself.

If your child struggles with peers, attention, school, or mood/ anxiety, I can provide a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment to help you learn what is going on and what next steps to take. This assessment answers questions related to concerns for ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, or medical conditions. The goal is to figure out how to best support your child! In some cases, your child may already have an IEP or 504, but you feel they are not getting all the support they need or you do not understand the results. In these cases, a comprehensive evaluation may help.

Tired of the same patterns keeping you stuck in life? Maybe it’s anxiety or stress: feeling overwhelmed or like life is out of control. Or maybe it’s in your relationships: “giving” far more than you “get” and feeling constantly disconnected. Perhaps it’s trauma: a painful past experience that continues to affect you, despite your efforts to move forward. At Modern Sessions, we specialize in helping teens, couples, & adults experience deep healing and long-lasting relief. That means going beyond just “talking” and helping you brain and body actually heal themselves using methods like EMDR, Brainspotting, and more.

I tailor my treatment to the specific needs of each client. I work at establishing a therapeutic alliance so that clients become more able to observe, assess and reflect on their emotions and symptoms, gaining awareness to their true feelings. Results are achieved in a collaberative atmosphere of emotional safety, trust and unconditional acceptance that leads to understanding and healing. Changes brought about by this treatment are not meant to be temporary, but tend to be permanent. I work with adults, adolescents and couples who seek to resolve conflicts, stop repetitive dysfunctional patterns and develop deep emotional connections.

You’re juggling so many things at once that you’ve lost all perspective. It takes everything you’ve got to make sure your loved ones are happy, and your clients are taken care of, but the smile you’ve been holding up is starting to slip. You feel like a fraud. Everyone around you seems to know what they’re doing while you struggle to get through the week. Your job requires a lot of compassion, and there’s nothing left for you at the end of the day. You love helping others professionally, but the burnout is becoming resent. The guilt of even having these feelings is unbearable. You need a break or an outlet before you explode!

I work with adults and couples using a relational approach that emphasizes connection: being seen, heard, and valued for who you are and where you are in your journey. My goal is to create a welcoming, nurturing, non-judgmental space where you feel safe to share your needs and explore the factors and patterns that may be impacting your quality of life. As an immigrant, I am particularly sensitive to the many ways different people show vulnerability, and strive to take multicultural, interpersonal, and contextual factors into account in order to get to know the multiple identities forming our whole selves.

As a millenial, you’re likely feeling the heightened pressure of adulthood weighing on your shoulders as you decide what’s next. Maybe you’ve just transitioned into a role as a parent, and you’re dealing with the anxiety & uncertainty that brings. Maybe you recognize that while your parents did their best, some harmful patterns have affected your worldview. Decisions about what career opportunities to pursue are likely at the forefront of your mind, as is wondering if you’re falling short or falling behind your friends. Or maybe you’re questioning the faith you were brought up in and deciding whether it aligns with who you are now.

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.
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.
What type of therapist is right for me?
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.
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 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.
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.
