I received my training from Columbia University, with advanced clinical training in psychoanalysis from the American Institute for Psychoanalysis in NYC. My focus is helping people alleviate their emotional pain by understanding themselves, accurately. Simply put, when we understand ourselves, we can ‘stand under’ ourselves. Our reasons for starting therapy differ in terms of how problems and circumstances influence our lives. I work with adults seeking relief from anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues, identity issues, and life stressors (like grief, divorce, job loss, life-stage crises, and career change).

Whether it’s grief and loss, transitions or ruptures in relationships, work stress or navigating your career, the mounting overwhelm of life can have a way of making us feel isolated and untethered. However, just because life can feel that way doesn’t mean it has to stay that way. Together, we can work to alleviate the impact from life stressors, untangle confusing thoughts and feelings, and chart your path forward.

If you’ve never experienced psychotherapy, it might seem weird to you. If you have—beneficially—you understand something of its mystery. Even the finest research-grounded therapists realize parts of it are inexplicable. Most simply put, psychotherapy rests on the truth that we become who we are through our attachment experiences with other people—our caretakers, families, and significant relationships—as well as through our biology. And we change in much the same way: through embodied new experiences of relationship—with loved ones, through profound life events-and, yes, with one's therapist.

Why is it so hard to feel so alone? Whether you’re struggling with a specific dilemma or carrying a complicated secret, it can sometimes feel like we are treading water in a vast, endless ocean with no one in sight for miles. In my practice as a psychologist, I’ve learned that yes, deep insight and meaningful change is crucial. But before any of that, one thing matters most: You feel understood. Not judged. Not "fixed." Just truly seen — often for the first time in a long time.

Do you or a family member feel that life is so difficult and everything you try appears to be falling apart at the seam. Disappointment, hurt, grief and anger can morph into complicated unwanted behavior if left unresolved. Depression, anxiety, panic attacks, eating and sleep disorders can arise when life circumstances are overwhelmingly stressful. Over the years the feedback that I have received from clients is: that I am warm, caring, understanding, easy to talk to; willing to help you tell your story by asking the questions that bring out your inner voice and easily reached by phone or text.

Examples include attachment-oriented, person-centered and trauma-informed approaches, sensorimotor and somatic psychotherapy, CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing. My work is grounded in empathy, authenticity, unconditional respect, and multicultural consciousness, and I always consider how the intersection of one’s personal identity, society, and culture impacts their daily experiences.

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.
