In my over 25 years of practice as a clinical psychologist, I have worked with adults and adolescents, as well as couples and families treating issues of adjustment, self-doubt, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and marital and parenting difficulties. I believe that healthy relationships are at the center of our emotional well-being and that an empathic relationship between client and therapist is essential to any treatment relationship. I provide such an environment so my clients feel comfortable confronting and working through the challenging issues that bring them into therapy.

Finding the right therapist for you or your child may feel or actually be hard to navigate, and even anxiety producing for some. So many options and often little guidance on how to find the "right" person. I view therapy as a collaborative, relationship driven experience. I spend time getting to know and understand you and your unique history and experiences. And from there, together, we create a therapeutic space where you can feel at ease and safe to move toward deeper inner wisdom and a better quality of life.

It’s common to feel overwhelmed or uncertain when navigating the demands of a fast-paced career. Sustainable growth and well-being start with self-awareness and the ability to manage your emotional world—especially when work gets demanding. I work with high-achieving professionals who are feeling stretched thin, whether due to stress, burnout, anxiety, or a sense of misalignment in their careers or personal lives. These challenges often go unspoken in high-pressure environments like finance, law, tech, healthcare, and academia, where the expectations are high and the emotional toll is real.

I work with adult women who are struggling with disordered eating/exercise and body image, as a way to “cope” through underlying overwhelm, anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, challenging relationships, and life transitions. As women, we are often encouraged to put our needs last. If you’re used to telling others (and yourself) you’re “fine”, when you’re actually feeling exhausted, out of control, and struggling to keep it all together - this is the space for you to pause and exhale. Re-aligning with values, re-defining what health means to you, and re-establishing a safe, compassionate relationship with yourself is how we heal.

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.
