Clients often find me when they feel that traditional talk therapy doesn't seem to be enough - when they have gained lots of valuable insight into the "why" behind their experience, but the physiological symptoms persist. Intellectualy understanding our past traumas is different from healing, integrating, and organizing our past (and present) traumatic experiences. Clients who come to me are often engaged in an ongoing battle with their own nervous system responses, and often feel stuck in adaptive patterns without knowing how to break free.

Feeling stuck, frustrated, stressed, or in search of meaning? These emotions are universal, but they can hinder us from reaching our goals and living authentically. If you identify with the LGBTQ community, as a gay identifying therapist, I understand you might experience an added layer of stress. I understand the impact of these feelings and believe in hope for a better tomorrow. I specialize in helping clients with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, relational issues, and men's mental health issues.

What would it feel like to give yourself the space to sit with and explore emotions, memories, and thoughts instead of avoiding or changing them? While acknowledging that I cannot determine whether a space is safe or not, I strive to offer a space of non-judgement, validation, compassion and growth where you can get to know yourself more, build insight and acknowledgement of your strengths, and talk about whatever you need to for an hour.

Oftentimes, people come to therapy because they feel stuck in patterns that they can't shake, despite their best efforts--this may be creating symptoms of anxiety, depression, or relationship issues. I provide a safe, focused environment that allows my clients to explore themselves, their relationships, and their experiences in the world. I also offer special sensitivity to how cultural, racial, and societal issues affect an individual's life. The process is aimed at allowing people to clarify their own goals and move toward them, and to discover new ways of approaching life's challenges while becoming more aware of their personal values and needs.

Are you feeling down, or experiencing negative thoughts? Do you struggle to find a sense of calm? Therapy can help. Are you dealing with relationship difficulties, struggles to balance career and personal life, grief, loss or trauma, adapting to health problems, or searching for personal meaning in life? Sorting out and talking through these issues, along with developing adaptive coping strategies can make a positive difference. As the therapeutic process develops, you may also explore your personal history in relation to current stressors, and develop a greater sense of self understanding and discover ways you want to tweak some "old ways of doing things."

It is common for people to feel stuck in their lives and experience hardship. Clients often have a hunch that they are avoiding painful feelings, which leads to challenges in relationships and day-to-day coping. While reaching out for help can be daunting, clients often describe the therapy process to be an empowering way to gain direction in their lives and experience significant relief. I am a licensed clinical psychologist and received my Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Louisville. I provide warm, yet active therapy, so clients can get the most out of the therapy experience and live a better life.

The path to healing is a collaborative effort that the client and therapist engage in together. I believe that my clients are capable, intelligent human beings who actually know quite a bit about what they need to feel whole and happy. I have a special interest in working with couples, relational issues, and parenting issues. I am an "integrative" therapist. Instead of ascribing to one school of therapy, I incorporate different methods of treatment based on each client's individual need

If you're considering therapy, you may have asked yourself questions like "Do I really need it? How can it help me?" While many of us turn to family and friends for emotional support during stressful times, moments do come when difficulties seem to mount and persist, and when talking to a trained, professional helper can bring about relief from suffering, as well as personal growth. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist with 20 years of post graduate experience in private practice and community mental health settings. I treat adults presenting with anxiety, depression, ADHD and stress from challenging life transitions.

Life is hard. There is no way around it. The question is - what are we going to do about it? How will we handle the challenges of our lives, whether it be the loss of a loved one, debt, a sense of meaninglessness, our own health conditions, or the struggles of raising children? Each of us has our own burdens to face and often the answers are hard to come by. Sometimes we need a little extra support to get through. Whether you need to be heard, to be seen, to cry, to find answers, to understand, or to make meaning out of your life, there is help.

As a bicultural and bilingual (English & Spanish) therapist part of my practice involves examining the cultural and social factors affecting individuals. I recognize that therapy is not one size fits all, so I attempt to tailor my approach to help empower each client to make changes that align with their values and goals. I enjoy partnering with individuals who are interested in broadening their understanding of difficult emotions and experiences to find new ways to cope and regain a sense of stability.

Sometimes life is hard. People have been taught there's something’s wrong with them because they have problems. Nothing could be further from the truth. Having difficulties is part of the human experience. People pretend they’re okay when they’re not. They keep all their pain and suffering to themselves. They’re afraid if they tell the truth, they’ll be rejected. Therapy can open the door for you to stop pretending you’re “fine.” You can find the freedom to be you. Therapy helps you come out of isolation and get connected with someone. You can have a “loving witness to your pain.”

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.
