My role as a therapist is to create a safe environment for individuals to compassionately explore their journeys and assist them in reaching their full potential. I believe the true value of psychotherapy is gaining insight into ones core self and truly accepting every part of us that makes us so unique. I support the notion that we don't need to be "broken" to need healing, yet we may simply desire the evolution of self.

Therapy is an evolving, collaborative experience tailored to every individual’s unique needs and values. We all face obstacles that can lead us to place self-care on the back burner, so it’s important to check in with ourselves to ensure that we have enough support. Emotional health is as crucial as physical health, with the two inextricably entwined.

Working on yourself is the best investment towards building the life you want. Psychotherapy and coaching are an intentional process of change, whose purpose is to raise your awareness, bringing relief and clarity to help you achieve your goals and live the life you are longing for. I believe that positive change and transformation comes from the inside out. My work focuses on helping individuals and couples feel supported during their journey, life transitions, existential and relational challenges as well as overall personal growth so that they can shift from surviving to thriving and find the fulfillment they long for.

I believe that everyone has the ability to heal, mend and grow. I believe that our life’s experiences and environment can add to our everyday stressors. I am cognizant of how our race, gender, religion, socio-economic status and sexual orientation play a role in our lived experiences. I am also aware on how our physical health can affect our mental health.

Do you want to develop peace, resilience, and happiness and liberate yourself from problematic patterns: repeating relationship issues, perfectionism and inner critic, poor body image, excessive worries and anxiety, or trouble expressing how you truly feel. My clients describe me as warm, authentic, and engaging. Clients find relief from emotional stress and trauma, gain insights and build actionable skills in our sessions. My passion is to help people be their authentic self, and live up to their full potentials.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and goal-oriented. Within a non-judgmental space that feels safe, supportive, and empathetic, we dedicate ourselves to the exploration of inner life experiences and associated emotions and behaviors. The goal is to be heard and understood while progressing thoughtfully toward desired change by integrating various therapeutic techniques, including talk-therapy (psychodynamic), trauma-informed (EMDR and RTM), mindfulness and somatic (body centered) approaches. As a twin, I also specialize in twin-loss, in all stages of bereavement.

The central philosophy driving my practice is that the therapeutic process should be a collaboration between the therapist and the client. My role is to facilitate the positive change that my clients want to see in their lives. Schema therapy differs from many therapeutic practices in that it is an active process that requires a degree of commitment to growth that many practitioners do not ask of clients. If you've felt frustrated by lack of direction, or by repeatedly answering the question "So, how was your week?" in your work with prior therapists, Schema therapy might be the approach for you.

As a dual-trained cognitive neuroscientist and clinical psychologist, I take a holistic approach to treatment focusing on maximizing mental health and well-being for each individual, rather than focusing on “illness”. I specialize in lifespan treatment of anxiety, mood, and impulsive and compulsive disorders with cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and humanistic approaches. By combining evidence-based psychotherapy with a deep understanding of neuroscience I give patients a unique, comprehensive perspective.

I help people with behaviors and strong feelings that hold them back from achieving their goals and feeling fully engaged in their lives. People come to me who are struggling in relationships, with family, in school or work and with their identity. Many express feelings of depression, anxiety, emptiness or "stuckness." People are often not clear why they feel the way they do and they are often even less clear how to "fix" it.

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.
