I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-R) offering online therapy to adults across New York and Massachusetts, focused on anxiety, stress, and life transitions. If you're feeling stuck and exhausted — like the stress just keeps on building, and somewhere along the way you've lost touch with who you are and what you truly care about — you don't have to sort through it alone. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, deeply feeling, often highly sensitive; they look fine on the outside and feel overwhelmed underneath. If that sounds like you, you're in the right place, and I would love to help you find your footing again.

Specializing in substance use and co-occurring disorders, with an emphasis on whole-person-centered care. Seeking help can be terrifying! It takes work, but that work has tremendous rewards. Being able overcome anxiety, depression, trauma, transitional moments, substance use, and "what it means to be human" are good reasons to seek help. Let's start with this concept: if nothing is done differently, we can expect nothing to change. But you do not have to do it alone.

What really keeps people from starting therapy? Maybe it’s the discomfort of having to look at yourself, face hard truths, and do the work change requires. Or maybe it starts long before that, when you’re scrolling through an endless list of therapist profiles, trying to choose the “one,” the one you’ll actually vibe with. That’s where I come in. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 18 years of experience helping adults and couples navigate the messy, complicated parts of being human.

Life is like a closet - it is full of things you want to keep, things you can’t let go of, and things you don’t want to deal with. It can overflow and dump out, especially when things get overwhelming. You can shove it back in, or straighten out and let some things go. You smile, you cry as you look. You discard what you can, some things you put the bad ones back, because you’re not healed enough. You straighten and organize what’s left. De-cluttering is an emotionally draining process, but worth it. Let's start today!

You may feel stuck in patterns that are hard to change, especially in your relationships. You might overthink, second-guess yourself, or try to get things “right,” while struggling to express your needs. Anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, or people-pleasing can leave you overwhelmed or disconnected. I work with thoughtful, self-aware adults who want to better understand themselves and build more secure, authentic relationships. Many of my clients are highly sensitive, neurodivergent, or feel their minds work a little differently.

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.
