My ideal client is someone who feels overwhelmed, stuck or worn down by addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, or significant life or role changes. This may include men working in the trades or first responders managing high stress, substance use, PTSD or entering therapy for the first time. They may be functioning day to day but feel unsettled or unsure how to move forward. They need a space that feels supportive, not overwhelming, where they can be met with acceptance and honesty. Their goal is to feel steadier, gain clarity and find practical solutions that support meaningful, sustainable change.

As an analytically-oriented clinician who works from a depth perspective, my foremost aim is to develop an open, compassionate, and trusting relationship with you so that you feel free to share with me those issues that most burden you - those issues for which you need careful, caring and respectful attention. I have worked mostly with adults in individual, couples, and group psychotherapy who have struggled with anxiety, depression, panic, trauma (including childhood abuse and neglect), PTSD, and substance use issues. I've worked with and I am sensitive to the needs of people of diverse identities.

We’ll challenge negative beliefs, cultivate self-compassion, and help you build emotional resilience.

No two people are alike — and the same is true of therapists. My goal is to create an empathetic, nonjudgmental, and collaborative space where growth and healing can take place. Who you are and what you’ve experienced is uniquely yours, and your path toward healing will be just as individual. I believe that you are the expert on your own life. My role as a therapist is to walk alongside you — helping you explore your feelings, thoughts, and behavioral patterns in a way that fosters insight, self-understanding, and change. I strive to meet each client exactly where they are in their process of problem-solving and healing.

I work with adolescents and young adults diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), or those grappling with executive functioning challenges, sense of self, or sexual identity. A young diagnosis of ASD or ADHD can present so many challenges to the individual and family, but with proper support and education, we can find the strengths and talents that come along with the challenges. On the other hand, an adulthood diagnosis can carry an immense amount of grief and resentment around the lack of knowledge and necessary support in their upbringing.

I am a trauma and anxiety psychologist in New York specializing in EMDR and relational therapy for high-functioning adults and adolescents. Many of my clients appear successful and composed on the outside, yet feel anxious, burned out, or stuck in repeating relationship patterns underneath. You may have tried coping skills or pushing through, but something deeper still feels unresolved. Our work focuses on understanding those patterns at their roots, regulating your nervous system, and creating lasting change - not just temporary relief.

I’m a warm, down-to-earth therapist who works with adolescents, Latinx young adults, and adults in NYC navigating anxiety, depression, and big life transitions—especially when family expectations, cultural values, and personal needs feel hard to balance. Many of the people I work with are used to being the responsible one, the strong one, or the one who’s “doing fine” on the outside, while feeling overwhelmed or stuck on the inside. Sometimes feeling torn between who they are and who they’re expected to be.

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.
