I believe that as human beings we are constantly evolving and therefore, I thrive on learning from the professionals that surround me as well as my clients. It is the most humbling and rewarding experience to serve an individual that has courageously put their faith in me to guide them in their healing journey. I see growth not only in the client but also in myself because I believe human beings are meant to learn, evolve and grow from educating one another.

With more than 15 years of counseling experience, I have seen the toughest trials and the greatest triumphs. I’ve seen hopelessness change to confidence, fear turn to peace, and sadness into joy. And, while therapy isn’t always easy, the results are worth the effort. I personally utilize CBT treatments for anxiety and/or depressive-based disorders and Motivational Interviewing for addiction related struggles. Lastly, I consider spiritual health, physical health, and emotional health to all be equally important to one’s psychological well-being.

Rabbi Shemuel ben Nachmani once said, "We do not see things as they are. We see things as we are." During our sessions, we will work together to increase self-awareness surrounding long-standing cognitions in order to nurture congruence between your intrapersonal world and outward actions. My approach is influenced by existentialist, psychodynamic, and attachment theories, as well as mentalization based treatment. In other words, I work through several combined approaches in order to help you identify how your past experiences have shaped the way you view the world today.

Change is inevitable but necessary. Adulthood, for example, can be tough for young people. I understand the roller coaster of emotions & challenges that come with transitioning into adulthood. The daily stress of excelling in high school & college. The pressure of choosing the right career. The confusion, frustration & uncertainty of trying to navigate modern dating & relationships. The realities of starting a family. Dealing with problematic relationships at work. The pressure of becoming independent & successful in our culture can be overbearing and often leads to burnout, anxiety, feeling lost & not good enough, or perfectionism.

*Not currently accepting new clients* The author Barry Lopez wrote that humans "have a way of talking about beauty as though beauty were only skin deep." He writes that "Real beauty is so deep you have to move into darkness in order to understand what beauty truly is." We do not need to be a conglomeration of our past negative experiences or symptoms. It is possible to actively increase our self-efficacy and not be controlled or dictated to by our pasts. Sometimes we need help from others to not sink into self-doubt. I'm most interested in helping people I work with facilitate the change they would like to see in their lives.

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.
