When someone asks how you are, the words 'exhausted' or 'so busy' come to mind. Trying to be all things to all people is wreaking havoc on you. But you don't answer; you can't wait to change the subject & focus on something or someone else. It's a welcome distraction to focus on other people who come to you with their problems; besides, you like to help, it makes you feel good. But you have worries, too. Good sleep is a luxury these days. Anxiety is no longer fuel for your never-ending to-do list; it's now getting in the way & sucking the fun out of everything. You're ready to stop pretending it's not wearing you out. I can help.

At any stage of our lives, we may face increasing interpersonal challenges, pressures both external and internal, or overwhelming uncertainty. In the wake of these tumultuous, at times isolating, forces, we are often left with a fragmented sense of self or a persistent feeling of discontent. Frequently we lack the opportunity–or at times, even the ability– to articulate these experiences and to have them to be acknowledged.

I’m a therapist who blends the heart of psychology with the buzz of technology — helping you navigate relationships, identity, and all the ways we connect (or disconnect) in this digital-and-real world. As a gay man, I understand the extra layers that come with being seen, being safe, and being you in a world that sometimes demands “just fit in.” My approach is warm, real and grounded in evidence: I draw on relational therapy, cognitive-behavioral tools and body-connected mindfulness — but we’ll ditch the jargon and focus on you, your story and your goals.

For people who understand themselves — and are still stuck.
Most of the people I work with are thoughtful and self-aware — stuck in the gap between understanding themselves and actually changing. They know their patterns, at least intellectually. And yet the same dynamics keep showing up: in relationships, in the way they go quiet or go sideways, in moments that don't resolve.
Navigating a relationship that keeps breaking down, a shift in identity, grief, or a sense that the life they're living doesn't fit anymore. Ready to go deeper — not just understand their patterns, but change them.

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.
