As a mindfulness rooted therapist/ LMSW, my passion lies in helping people become aware of their strengths and reclaim their power in a society that tells us we are small and unworthy. Talk Therapy is a powerful tool that can help bring awareness to repressed traumas, internalized negative beliefs and self-sabotaging behaviors. I offer in person and teletherapy appointments where I will gently guide you through your journey of self-discovery and healing.

Whether you have obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), past trauma or PTSD, feeling anxious or depressed, together we will identify goals for therapy.

My specialized training includes both cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic therapy. I provide ERP for OCD.

With a collaborative and affirming approach to therapy, my practice is grounded in the belief that every individual has the capacity for continuous growth and self-discovery. Using compassion and authenticity, I draw from a variety of therapeutic influences including person-centered, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, and narrative approaches to meet the unique needs of each client.

My many formative career experiences contributed to my interest in mental health and motivated my career transition.

“My voice was taken away” is something I have heard many times. Individuals often go through difficult and painful experiences that leave them feeling hesitant to express themselves and use their voice. If this sounds like you, you may be feeling shutdown, trapped, choked, blocked, afraid to be seen and heard. This can feel scary, frustrating, and disempowering!

Are you seeking resilience in uncertain times? My approach to therapy combines psychodynamic training with CBT, finding practical solutions to problems. This means that you and I will work together to find both the "why" of what you bring to therapy (childhood development, history, and social context) and the "what" (how to change what you want to change). I tend to work with high achievers who feel there is something lacking in their personal lives and relationships. I work with adults, as well as adolescents in high school or college/graduate school. I see both individuals and couples who want to make meaningful changes.

Many people I work with feel emotionally stuck or disconnected from the life they want. They may be navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or questions around identity and self-worth, and are looking for more than surface-level coping. In our work together, we focus on understanding patterns, building emotional regulation skills, and developing tools you can use outside of session. Therapy is collaborative, creative, and experiential. It is grounded in real-life application and meaningful progress.

Does your mind constantly run? Cannot turn it off? Do you worry yourself to sleep or that you are “going crazy”? Anxiety, worry, and over-thinking are common in today’s fast-paced world, but help is available. Counselors give advice. Unsure about what to do? They’ll tell you. This is comforting, but this is not therapy. In sessions, we explore your mind, how it ticks, and how to focus your time and energy on things that matter to most to you. Unlike other theories which focus on labeling thoughts and feelings as “good” or “bad” and attempting to change them, Mindfulness seeks at relating to them differently.

I am an experienced clinician and have treated a wide range of life problems. I utilize psychoanalytically informed techniques to understand an individual's unique experience of life. Being deeply understood is a lifelong need, as well as an important step along the road to change. As well, being challenged in a productive way is integral to growth. I approach the work from both of these perspectives.

I understand that each individual comes from a complex and unique background. Due to this, I thoroughly believe that therapy can not be effective under a “one-size-fits-all” perspective. I strive to make my sessions a fully collaborative experience so that your voice is being heard and our sessions are tailored to what is important to you. Through this approach our sessions will be a gratifying experience in which we identify the root of your concerns and make positive change.

Do you find it difficult to trust yourself to make healthy decisions? Do you have conflict with friends, family or your employer? Do you want to stop holding yourself back from doing what you REALLY want to do? You may be experiencing "normal" life stress such as finishing school, living together, getting married, a career change, or contemplating parenthood. You may be having "unexpected" stress such as losing a job, deciding to break up, losing a loved one, or being in conflict with yourself or someone else. It's normal to feel anxious, sad or overwhelmed at these times.

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.
