The work of getting to know ourselves more deeply is courageous—and I truly believe we don’t have to do it alone. My mission is to support women of color, queer folks, and first-generation individuals in peeling back the layers of life that may be weighing on them, so they can live with more balance and have more fulfilling relationships—with others and with themselves. Sometimes we have a sense of what’s holding us back, and other times we don’t—both are completely natural places to begin.

I bring natural skill, compassion, and extensive experience to my psychotherapy practice with adults, children, and families. I am a Master Trainer at the Yale Child Study Center and also work as clinical consultant to provide training to other therapists.

Something is wrong. That much is clear. You wake up each morning with a vague sense of unease. Between juggling a career, school, family, friends, and life, you have no time for yourself. And no matter how hard you work to always do the right thing, it still feels like it’s never enough. That inner voice won’t rest. “You’re worthless.” “You’re not good enough.” “Just give up.” And as much as you try to ignore the voice, a part of you can’t help but start to believe what it’s saying. You compare yourself to your peers and wonder how they seem to get by with such ease while you’re struggling. If only you knew why you felt this way.

How do you want to heal? I offer a supportive, collaborative, and non-clinical space to center yourself, deepen your practice, and follow your experience with compassion, care, and creativity. We work together to develop open, ongoing inquiries into root causes, unmet needs, and solution seeking that resist clinical objectification around traumatic stress, anxiety and depression, disability and chronic issues, and complex or ongoing trauma, particularly related to oppressive systems, groups, and relationships.

In the super high-paced world we live in today, we all struggle with negative thoughts (about ourselves, our partners, our jobs, our future), high expectations (must do better!) and shortage of time and opportunities to unwind and connect (to ourselves and each other).
On top of that, most have to deal with the added strain of stressful jobs, family responsibilities and the ever shifting family dynamics.
The combined daily pressure of it all can lead to anxiety, relationship issues, lower self-esteem and shorter fuses.

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.
