As a Cancer survivor I'm interested in working with individuals who have been touched by chronic and profound physical illness/s.
Feeling trapped, unable to express yourself, powerless to control your own emotions? Are you alone or isolated? I can help you to break free from the constraints of anxiety and depression and take control of your own life’s course. Therapy will help you to learn about how your past impacts your experience of the present.

I also work women with breast cancer and who are going through menopause.
Are you feeling anxious, irritable and overwhelmed? Are you a new mom and don't feel connected to your baby? Are you a women in your 40's or 50's and having menopausal symptoms like irritability, low mood and fatigue? So many people feel like they have to "power through" symptoms of anxiety or depression--when there is treatment available. You don't deserve to feel this way.

I am a licensed psychologist with a broad background in anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions, and through my work at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and in other hospital settings, I also have specialized training and experience in working with individuals affected by medical concerns.
Chronic pain or illness doesn't stop for a pandemic. In fact, it may be harder to get to your doctors or you may feel even more distant from everyone else. And your physical health may still be affecting...everything. Are you having trouble managing symptoms of an illness, side effects from a treatment, chronic pain, infertility, or the emotional burden of your own or a loved one's diagnosis? Are you looking for greater peace in your mind and body? Medical diagnoses and how we feel physically can profoundly impact our emotional health, family lives, and so much more. It can be a lot to handle on your own and you don't have to.

To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

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.

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.

What type of therapist is right for me?

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.

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 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.

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.
