Having worked with a non profit organization for 9 years as a case manager, adoptions specialist, and a family services counselor, I developed a passion for working with teens and adults from all walks of life. I worked as a trauma therapist and partnered with the Department of Children and Families to assist families with traumatic experiences. I have been in private practice since 2014, working extensively with children and adults who have been sexually abused, as well as veterans and active military alongside their families.

I have experience working with all sorts of different people in all sorts of different walks of life. I love the variety. If I had to pick an ideal client, I tend to work well with head first, heart second (but not less) sort of people. My background roots are in philosophy, my interests are in the mystic, and my love is the human experience - all of it. My clients come to me for a slew of reasons, but the overall gist of it is they want to enjoy life. That typically means creating a better life, or living the life they have already, but better, or a combination of the two. I like to come along for a while to support that process.

I have worked in the field of healthcare for over 20 years as a Holistic Therapist. I am currently putting my LMFT license on hold as I build my Holistic Health Consulting business on my 10 acre land in Manhattan. I still pull from all my clinical experience but I believe in many other esoteric methods for healing. I have experience in adventure/nature therapy and energy psychology so if you are interested in exploring some of these options then I might be the right fit. I also worked extensively with the Enneagram system with individuals, couples, and groups. Let's explore your true divinity.

After 23 years as a therapist, along with my own life experiences, I’ve learned one thing for certain - we are all faced with pain and challenges that can lead to growth and change. But we can also get stuck. Life is challenging, requiring us to face things we want to avoid because those very things are uncomfortable & or painful. I believe humans have an innate desire to grow and flourish with challenges, but this desire gets buried for numerous reasons. Together in a safe therapeutic relationship, I believe I can help you feel less alone, rediscover your innate goodness , increase psychological flexibility, & feel better.

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.
