Anxiety, depression, and panic are normal feelings individuals will experience during their lifetime. But in some cases, these symptoms can manifest into more severe issues. When this happens, it might feel like you're losing control and isolated from the rest of the world. Although this experience can be scary, it doesn't mean you have to do it alone.

Everything that happens to you happens to your body. Stress is often the result of a body/mind split, that we usually ignore. Most of my clients have engaged previously in talk therapy and are now ready to go deeper into their process. Those clients are intelligent, creative, successful professionals who secretly struggle with low self-esteem, relationship problems, anxiety/depression, and psychosomatic problems. Somatic psychotherapy can help to integrate and support your relationship with yourself so that you can create better relationships with others.

"When we protect ourselves so we won't feel pain, that protection becomes like armor that imprisons the softness of the heart". In therapy, rather than avoiding pain, we learn how to hold space for it. Therapy is a space to slow down, to be present and to fully connect to ourselves and our experiences. When we connect directly to our experiences, we create space to foster emotional growth, gain insight and move toward healing.

We are none of us just one thing. I bring my experiences as a woman, a bilingual emigrant with a multicultural inheritance, a dancer, and a seasoned psychotherapist to my work with clients. My appreciation of multiple roles, allegiances, and identities held in harmony and in tension with one another enriches my understanding of the people who choose to work with me. I know how hard life in the city can be. I know too how transformative it can be, to be truly heard and understood in all one’s complexity.

Focusing on the past can help explain things in your life, but focusing on the present can help you cope with the present and prepare for the future. I can help you take control of your life, stop the turmoil, find meaning and happiness, so you can make healthier choices about your present and future, and not allow others to make those choices for you.

We feel the need to put on a brave front and soldier on. We perceive ourselves as either perfections or imperfections. It feels all or nothing. Even when we are surrounded by loved ones, we may feel alone. When we do reach out and ask for support, we may not feel like others are attuned to us. We may feel too disheartened and/or too exhausted to explain. Sometimes we may not even have the emotional language. Sharing space with me will feel like a second chance to experience yourself in vulnerable, empowering and intentional ways, and build bandwidth to allow others the opportunity to show you grace and build mutual trust.

I believe therapy is a space where you can unlock new understandings of your life and the world around you. Often, we find ourselves struggling with the recurring emotions, thoughts, and relational patterns. Through therapy, you can gain a stronger grasp of who you are and approach life with increased awareness. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who are experiencing interpersonal and internal difficulties, navigating issues of gender and sexuality, coming-of-age, and life transitions. I also work with people who are struggling with substance use, mania, depression, and anxiety.

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.
