Hello, I'm a mental health counselor licensed in the state of NY. I have worked in community mental health since 2016 in both clinic and primary care medical settings. My clients have presented a wide range of concerns, including: depression, anxiety, grief, substance abuse, anger management, pet loss, and adjustment to life after incarceration. Regardless of what issues bring you to therapy, I work from the assumption that YOU are never the problem. Rather, the situation is the problem, and we work together to transform it. This process often involves shifting your view, giving yourself grace, and deepening compassion for yourself.

Clients come to me when they are overwhelmed and weighed down by whatever life has thrown their way. They are searching to understand themselves and their world around them, looking for someone to walk along their journey with them. They want a nonjudgmental place to feel safe to explore, create, and release; a place to unpack those difficult thoughts, emotions, and experiences and move towards healing. They are hoping to find and nurture a sense of purpose and belonging. They survived and adapted, they are resilient, and they are ready to experience a sense of peace.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in the treatment of young adults and young professionals. I love working with others to find or create their own meaning and identity. Often this requires working on the issues that get in the way, like anxiety, depression, grief, or stress. Whether through a desire to change circumstances, improve self-compassion, or develop better relationships with important people, forming or changing your sense of self will be one of the most important experiences of your life.

Being an adult is HARD! Hell, life, in general, can be challenging. Sometimes you are sad, anxious, or in the throes of an existential crisis. Other times stress and conflict consume your life. It's terrifying and often overwhelming to think you can't change it alone. You aren't sure when or how it got so bad, but you are sure you want to find a way out. You may struggle to make it through the day or breeze through pretending things are okay. Either way, it can no longer be ignored. You've become stagnant and want much more for your life.

You are worried that your teen’s life might have changed course completely after that scary thing happened to them. They may seem like a different person sometimes, struggling to manage their emotions and displaying completely new and confusing behaviors. You might notice that your adolescent feels depressed, anxious, isn't sleeping, or avoids doing the things that they used to love. This is exhausting and isolating! You don't have to go it alone! It is possible for your child to heal and for your family to start looking toward the future.

Dealing with trauma, depression, and anxiety can be incredibly challenging. The consequences of trauma often include struggling with long-term depression & anxiety. Moreover, one can just feel overwhelmed from everyday societal pressures like interpersonal issues, financial stress and the climate crisis.

Is anxiety preventing you from doing the things you want in your life? Is it keeping you from interacting with people, even those you love, in a free and open manner? Is anxiety sometimes even making it hard for you to get out of the house? Most of us need help getting our harsh inner critics to be quiet. Mindful self awareness, self acceptance and self compassion are crucial first steps in creating a calmer, more satisfying life. I believe that feeling better requires two things: learning new skills and gaining insight.

Is online therapy a good option?

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.
