Currently accepting child, adolescent, and adult clients in NY. I have weekend availability for in-person child therapy sessions. I work with children and adolescents who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, regulation or executive function challenges, grief, adjusting to change, and oppositionality. Together, we work to build self-efficacy, self-understanding, coping skills, and a sense of confidence. We work to uncover feelings of shame, anger, and sadness and to understand how behavior patterns defend against these uncomfortable feelings.

When I first meet clients, I encourage them to be fascinated by the way their mind works. An ideal component of a successful therapy is when clients become curious about themselves, which allows them to gain insight into their problems. I personally believe, based on my research and experience, that what the human mind concentrates on has an influence on what happens in one's life. By watching the patterns of our thoughts we can modify and redirect them, with the goal of making healthier and more life-affirming decisions. The human mind has evolved to focus on problems and to anticipate more of them in the future.

I work with individuals who've found themselves faced with a range of issues, including depression and anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, isolation and loneliness, hopelessness and confusion, addiction, and recovery from addiction. The couples I see usually contend with conflict and communication problems, often deeply painful and ingrained. In all my work, with individuals and couples, I find it helpful to mix the immediacy of in-the-moment experience with thoughtful reflection and exploration, respecting both conscious and unconscious processes, the explicit as well as the implicit.

Do you find yourself struggling with depression, anxiety, or constantly feeling “stuck”? Are you tired of feeling sad, lonely, and not having people who truly understand your struggles? Did you grow up in a community that stigmatized mental health and discouraged seeking support outside of your home or religion? Are you worried that someone might judge or consider you “weak” if you ask for help? Let me reassure you that there is absolutely nothing wrong with you, and you are not weak. There is no shame in seeking support. There is no shame in wanting a better life for yourself. There is certainly no shame in seeking happiness.

If you are reading this, you have taken a courageous first step toward growth, change and improving your quality of life.

In my view of this process, issues and problems in these relationships are worked through. Via the therapeutic relationship, symptoms and their underpinnings are addressed with the goal of living a richer, fuller life.

In my practice you will find a safe, non-judgemental place where you can stop and take stock of your life. Somewhat like a shelter when you feel stuck and need to find a way out. I work with people with issues that are very specific - a relationship/job problem, repetitive thoughts and rituals. As well as with people with problems that feel deeply perplexing - a vague and sometimes acute feeling something is wrong in their life. In either case, I can help you overcome the emotional challenge you face now and find a better footing to tackle whatever you might encounter to live a happier, more fulfilled life.

Do you want to be supported as you undertake the vital and very human project of exploring and growing? I'm a white, queer, gender-expansive native West Coaster with a background in writing and theater, which has given me a deep interest in the human experience and the ways we endeavor to become our best selves. I was drawn to therapy in order to support people in discovering and using their strengths to reach that goal. I provide an affirming space for LGBTQ+ folks to gain renewed self-compassion and authenticity by better understanding themselves and how negative messaging might be impacting one's sense of self and possibility.

I take a holistic approach to psychotherapy, prioritizing understanding the entirety of a person and their environment, including the sociocultural and political systems that influence a person’s identity and life experiences. As a psychodynamically trained therapist, I believe our past experiences and significant relationships inform our present, and the therapeutic relationship can be a place for understanding our relationship patterns, and having new/reparative experiences within the safety of a trusting relationship.

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.
