I work mainly from a person-centered, solution-focused and strengths-based approach, frequently pulling in skills from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing & relational techniques. I believe that regardless of what you were born into, or the tragedies or hardships that you have accumulated over time, healing and thriving is possible. That process isn’t easy - it can be messy and it can take a lot of work, but it is possible.

I am a psychoanalytically trained therapist who specializes in anxiety, depression, trauma and eating disorders. My work is highly relational and my first focus will be on creating a real and authentic relationship with you. Therapy is a space to learn what connection feels like when you are welcome and encouraged to be your wholest self, to share your fullest range of emotions, and to set aside the defenses or walls that have kept you disconnected in the past. My focus in therapy is not just on alleviating symptoms, but on creating deeper understanding of their root causes.

Why do we feel lost and adrift? What makes us lose touch with our ability to traverse life’s ups and downs? These are profound questions without one-size-fits-all answers. Life developments, whether related to transitions, trauma, or daily occurrences, can lead to us feeling alienated from ourselves - but through therapy, we reinforce our own ability to right our ship and navigate the obstacles we are facing. Therapy, whether you are beginning the process or continuing the journey, can feel overwhelming. It is all too easy to lose sight of our goals, our strengths, and our experiences.

We all learn through early relationships and experiences how to communicate with others and ourselves, and how to cope and engage with our reality—-whatever that may be. Sometimes over the course of our lives, what we’ve learned no longer serves us and our needs. I believe that therapy serves as a space to become aware of who we’ve been and who we want to be, while engaging in new and healthy dynamics. These things are all part of life and they ebb and flow. I view therapy as an ever-evolving process with my goal being to get to the root cause of symptoms.

You may appear to be thriving in many areas of life—steady career, solid relationships, a family maybe, and a supportive circle of friends. But on the inside, things might feel different. Perhaps you find yourself feeling unfulfilled, stuck in recurring emotional struggles, or disconnected from the people and moments that matter most to you. Maybe you feel weighed down by comparisons, regrets, or the constant push to do more, leaving you unable to pause and appreciate your progress. No matter how hard you work or how much you give, there’s a sense that it’s still not enough.

She remembered who she was and the game changed - Lalah Delia - Deciding to seek therapy can stir up all kinds of emotions. Maybe it’s been a long time coming, perhaps the thing you used to do to get by isn’t working anymore, or maybe life recently threw you a difficult curve ball. Either way, it can feel isolating trying to figure it out alone. Friends and family can be helpful, though sometimes you just need a safe space of your own to regroup and a safe person to walk with you while you do the hard work.

Suffering from anxiety is exhausting. The what if'ing is constant and you know these thoughts aren't rational...but they feel so real. You find yourself often distracted because of worried thinking. You try everything to find relief (even therapy), but nothing seems to help. You avoid anxiety triggers, and this only seems to have made your world small. You wish you could wake up tomorrow with skills that work to stop the noise in your head so you can be confident to handle what life throws at you, be present with your loved ones, and stay focused at work.

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.
