I am a bi-lingual psychotherapist with more than 30 years experience treating adults, children, families and couples suffering from depression, anxiety, relationships issues, parenting, trauma and eating disorders. Are you stuck or blocked, feeling shame, anger, fear, or sadness? Are you disconnected from your inner source of self-esteem, strength and joy? Are your moods driving your actions in your life, instead of your aspirations and goals? Do you find yourself unable to stop addictive, or impulsive behavior patterns? Perhaps it's time to ask yourself how long you can keep doing the same things, expecting different results.

Felling unsatisfied in your relationships or career? Is your child or adolescent struggling with school or at home? Is anxiety getting in the way of identifying and realizing life goals and aspirations? Do you see yourself repeating various patterns and feel ill-equipped to change them? Learned patterns from the past can persist into adulthood and frustrate one's ability to realize age-appropriate goals with relationships, career issues, and impede academic success.

As a therapist I help people find relief from pain, conflicts, and emotional difficulties. Everyone has a problem to solve--perhaps a job, a relationship, tormenting thoughts, grief, sadness, anxiety, or numbness. Therapy should be a safe place to go for help when you feel at an impasse. Each person's way of wrestling with life's experiences is unique and solutions can be difficult to achieve. Sometimes you find you can't do it alone. I try to establish a nonjudgmental, cooperative partnership so that you can feel supported as we explore meaningful ways to improve your life.

I believe that no one should face difficult times alone. The emotional pain of anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship issues might have left you lonely and isolated at the time when human contact is needed most. Opening up to your friends or family can be hard. By being warm, empathic, and non-judgmental, I provide a safe space where you can express yourself and feel seen and understood. Our work together can help you heal, get to know yourself better, find the strength to face challenges, deepen communication with others, and ultimately lead a more aware, fulfilling life.

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.
