I believe that every person has a unique story to tell. Through creating a therapeutic environment that is welcoming, supportive, and safe, I hope to help clients discover their own individual paths to achieving their goals in both therapy and life overall. I understand the importance of acknowledging and celebrating each client’s multiple identities, including cultural, socioeconomic, gender, and sexual, as each influences the way one perceives the world and others.

For me, every client brings something special and new to the table. Every client has a story to tell and specific needs that brought them here. Whether its a major life transition, depression, anxiety or trauma... my ideal client is a client who is ready to make the changes they need to live a fuller and more meaningful life. I believe that a client's number one goal in therapy should be vulnerability and a strong connection with their therapist. This relationship is the vehicle for change and growth. No matter what the client's personal goals are, a strong and trusting relationship with their therapist is the foundation.

Creative people: Sometimes it may feel like our society doesn’t make space for us. We can feel out of place, alienated, let down, pressured, unsure, unsupported, scattered, stuck, stymied, unconfident, undeserving, unfulfilled, unseen, sabotaged by others, or sabotaged by ourselves. No matter how this manifests for you – as anxiety about the future or depression about the past – you have what it takes to move through the hard stuff towards your truest, proudest self.

For over two decades it has been my extraordinary privilege to hear the life stories of individuals who have engaged with me in the work of therapy. These unique stories, whether marked by suffering and despair, joy and happiness, were always about resilience and survival, and have taught me well the therapeutic value of narrative. This kind of listening is a partnership, a collaborative effort that is reflected in my clinical approach. I tell my social work students at Columbia that the most critically important tool they have is their ears.

The process of learning to live our lives well requires commitment, humility and openness. These qualities are cultivated within a trusted relationship.

I have found that my study of Family Systems Theory has illuminated my practice with individuals and couples. The tool set of Family Therapy can be very powerful in an individual therapy context when dealing with issues such as eating disorders, anxiety/panic, or depression. And because our intimate or spousal relationships can often be the screen on which we project our inherited difficulties, the family therapy model can also be a great resource for couples seeking a relationship of balance and longevity.

You haven't felt good for awhile now, something's not quite right. People around you think you're a rock star but inside you feel like a complete impostor. The negative self-talk has gotten so loud inside of your head that you are mentally and physically exhausted. Putting on a happy face for others while inside your head feels like it is about to explode. You wish you could make changes but you are not sure how. Somewhere along the line, you lost your joy and you have lost your voice, you have lost yourself. You are not happy in your relationships. You are afraid to speak your truth. You are aching to feel good again.

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.
