Ever feel like you’re on autopilot? Moving through life disconnected from your inner guidance and unsure how to reclaim your sense of peace and joy? We live in a culture where everyone is in a rush, and the time to be in flow and reflective isn’t built into our day to day. My intention is to hold a space where you can slow down to meet yourself in new ways and move forward from a place of true self-knowledge. I specialize in working with those who struggle with eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image concerns. I also work with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and trauma.

Hello! Are you a person who has potentially been uncomfortable with the idea of sitting in an office across from a therapist? Or maybe you are someone who works from home and is hesitant to schedule another hour of sitting in your week? Finally, are you just someone who loves being outdoors and that is where you feel more relaxed? Ecotherapy is a way to address many of those concerns as well as tackle your mental health struggles. Sessions will take place in urban nature spaces in Jersey City and Hoboken or in the office with nature-based materials. I also offer traditional therapy via virtual and in-office appointments.

Are you unhappily single and seeking a meaningful connection? Are you haunted by past heartbreaks, "situationships", or a series of lukewarm dates? Or perhaps you are partnered but the two of you are in a lousy place. Every time you try to talk about your ongoing conflicts, everything just gets worse. Nothing gets solved, and you end up feeling unheard and rejected. Bitter, disappointed, and seething with resentment, it’s unclear if you’ll ever get back to that happy place. Meanwhile, you’re avoiding each other, the sex has dried up, and you’re just going through the motions without your needs being met. Something has to change.

I'm a trauma therapist doing something special– I combine EMDR, clinical hypnosis, and IFS (internal family systems) to accelerate healing faster than talk therapy typically could. EMDR and hypnosis calm your nervous system and rewire negative beliefs, while IFS helps explore parts like your inner critic, protector, and inner child for deeper insights. This combined approach is especially powerful for adult children of emotionally immature parents, abuse survivors, and those with anxiety or PTSD. Book a free 20-minute consultation this week– click my website button (scroll down or to the right) to get started.

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.
