Therapy can be a great opportunity to receive support and gain insight. I create a safe and accepting environment where you can explore goals and issues you want to change. My approach is warm and compassionate with an emphasis on the therapeutic relationship. I believe it is through this relationship that we heal, find acceptance and are able to move forward.

Speaking freely in the space of psychodynamic therapy can be a transformative experience - one that allows us to move through the world in new ways. By listening closely to your narratives of past and present, and of fantasy and reality, I will help you articulate the goals that fit your own circumstances and desires. Our symptoms are not only a source of suffering - they are also messages that echo ways we’ve needed to adapt to various circumstances throughout our lives. I will listen closely for patterns that shape your relationships and may no longer be serving you.

You are stuck in a dark maze carrying the crushing pressure of the world to succeed on your chest. While everybody is at the finish line of the race, you are handcuffed to the beginning of the line. The isolation and loneliness feel like a void in the pit of your stomach that is never filled. The emotions are like waves in the ocean, when it comes, it drowns you, and when it's quiet, it's boxed up in a container ready to explode. My post-grad includes the New York School for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy with extensive training in AEDP (focus on here-and-now relational and body - somatic) and EMDR for dating and breakups.

Over the past century, the landscape of psychoanalysis has undergone profound transformations. Since the era of Freud, the field has embraced innovation, birthing a myriad of analytic approaches that refine and expand upon classical psychoanalytic principles. Among these, modern psychoanalysis stands out as a pivotal evolution, offering a gentler, more adaptable approach to understanding and treating the complexities of the human psyche.

Change can be challenging, especially where there are no roadmaps for us to follow. We look for the guideposts, but in this evolving and sometimes uncertain world, solutions may be hard to find. Working together, and collaboratively, we can achieve goal-focused problem solving strategies. I believe that everyone wants to feel better; identifying what that looks like for each individual, couple or family is part of the work...and part of the journey.

I am currently accepting new clients. Starting therapy for the first time or re-initiating therapy after a break can be daunting; but most things worth doing involve some risk. Many of my clients are quite successful, but are unsatisfied with certain aspects of their life such as self-confidence, mood, relationships, or sleep. Whether you are seeking support during a difficult period of your life, relief from anxiety, rest from your struggle with insomnia, regained security after a traumatic event, healing after a loss, or simply deeper self-knowledge: Therapy is a risk worth taking.

An important element of therapy is a trusting relationship in which one feels safe and understood. My approach is collaborative and I utilize both insight-oriented (psychodynamic) and trauma informed (EMDR and Cognitive Processing Therapy) approaches. In our work together, you’ll develop greater self-awareness, gain insight into problematic patterns, and make meaningful changes leading to a more fulfilling life.

Welcome! I am a strengths-based, systemic therapist. I specialize in working with clients across all age groups, though I find particular joy in supporting young adults, couples, and parents with young children. While I tend to use a blend of narrative and attachment-based strategies to help my clients achieve their goals, I like to tailor treatment to each client's unique needs and preferences. If there's something you want to try in therapy, let's talk about it!

My therapeutic focus is on helping people being challenged by stress, anxiety, traumatic events, loss or grief, relationship issues, sexual difficulties, career problems, addictions and compulsions, and who are seeking to find and develop creativity and meaning in their lives. I work with a diverse range of individuals and couples and have a particular expertise in working with people in transitions. I am trained in the use of cognitive behavioral therapy techniques for the treatment of PTSD, anxiety and stress. I understand the many issues in dealing with international and cross-cultural relationships.

Are you feeling anxious, isolated, depressed? Or having difficulties in relationships? Or blocked creatively? Problems in living can be encountered despite accomplishment. I help you identify blocks in relationships, career, creativity. Life is also full of unexpected shocks; therapy can be an auxiliary shock absorber.

People start therapy for different reasons. Sometimes people come in to see me during a period of transition - starting or ending school or work, moving to a new city, beginning or leaving a relationship. You might feel something isn't quite working in your life, like you're frustrated, uncertain, or slightly out of step. Maybe you feel yourself hitting the same walls in friendships or relationships repeatedly. Maybe you feel lost. I'll work with you to help you find what's getting in the way of getting what you really want from your life and to find a way forward that feels right to you.

I view therapy as a collaborative process in which insight, wisdom and healing arise though a relationship of trust and curiosity. You might feel depressed, anxious, confused, frustrated, stuck or that your life has lost direction. Something in you knows it doesn’t have to be this way and therapy can help. By welcoming and exploring all parts of you, transformation and healing is possible. I value the experience of each individual and tailor my approach to your unique needs in a holistic, non-pathologizing manner.

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.
