As an experienced psychotherapist, I believe in the task of choosing carefully the professional that you would feel comfortable enough to share intimate aspects of your life. My empathic approach creates an environment, in which trust and curiosity can flourished, facilitating the adjustment to an already difficult process. The relationship between analyst and patient is an important tool in the exploration and understanding of patient's past and present behaviours.

I have a profound understanding of the transformative power embedded within relational dynamics. Early in my educational voyage, I immersed myself in family systems, unveiling the unique potency residing in healing connections. I find a special resonance in my work with couples and families, crafting an integrative approach to relational healing. I use an integrative approach to relational healing drawing upon the wisdom of John and Julie Gottman, Esther Perel and Terry Real among others. I emphasize the roles of trauma and adversity in understanding the human experience.

I would say my approach is warm, supportive and flexible--responsive to the challenge a client faces.

Sometimes years well into our career or relationships, we find ourselves stuck, yearning for a change and wanting more. We may grow to think that there is a perfect way of doing things. We might think we’ve attained the life we’ve always wanted but find ourselves dissatisfied. You may find that you compare yourself to others and feel that others have a sense of happiness that you don’t. You may feel like a failure and wonder what you did wrong, did you make bad choices, why you’re isolated, or not deserving of good things. I help high achievers to develop healthier thought patterns and behaviors to achieve long-lasting satisfaction.

The quest for clarity, for contentment is exhausting and that "Life Is Good" banner taunts us mercilessly. Often, life isn't good - no matter how good we appear to others. Talking about our hopes, dreams, expectations and disappointments can be hard, but it's the best way to make better sense of our desire and the emotionality that necessarily comes with it.

Is anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, difficulty forming intimate relationships due to self-doubt, some unidentifiable reasons, or a combination of life difficulties preventing you from achieving your goal or living your life to the fullest? My ultimate goal is to help each individual create meaningful changes so they can live their life in the most meaningful way. The process starts with a strong therapeutic relationship with a foundation of trust, empathy, and wholeness. Change can be uncomfortable, but the discomfort that comes with change when presented with the right connection and tools will yield tremendous growth.

I specialize in working with both individuals who are struggling to manage anxiety & looking to improve self esteem; and couples who with concerns and/or changes in their sexual relationship. As a therapist, I often explore how the messaging we receive, based on our gender, shapes the expectations we have of ourselves & impacts the relationship we have with our body, ideas of health, sex, and self worth.

I believe that psychotherapy is most beneficial when it can address problems and help one find solutions to life's conflicts. It is these conflicts that often become obstacles in leading an emotionally healthy and rewarding life. Ultimately, I believe the goal of therapy is to enable an individual to make decisions that will allow them to feel most satisfied, productive and in control of their lives. Likewise, learning to cope with life's everyday stressors and crises can be an important part of psychotherapeutic work. My approach is tailored to your needs and working toward what you wish to accomplish.

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.
