Life has taken a huge toll on you and your loved ones lately and there are likely feelings of exhaustion, frustration, loneliness, and mood changes that are new and concerning. Whether you are a brand new parent without the important support you need, or a parent concerned about the emotional health of your child, or even a partner or loved one of a family member who is struggling, you are feeling helpless and uncertain of where to turn.

Beginning therapy, especially for the first time, can feel like an intimidating task. I understand that firsthand. The hardest step is acknowledging you need extra support and there is no shame in that, only strength. No matter what the presenting issue(s) is, we can work together to unpack it and focus on what brought you here, what you need out of therapy and what your ultimate goal is. I view the mind and body as one and in order to best care for ourselves, we need to nurture and understand both. Often times, our environment or situations happening in our life can derail this and that's where therapy can provide a consistency.

I help people because I make it possible for them to bring their issues and concerns into the therapy session in order to resolve these problems in the treatment. Whatever we accomplish in this task carries over to the client's outside life and they become more successful. I am able to do this because of my many years of supervision with some of the top therapists in the New York area. I also train other therapists and I was cited as a supervisor of excellence by the California Psychological Association.

I provide a safe, warm environment to explore the challenges that are significant to you.

The mindset becomes a self-fulling prophecy if one believes that they can accomplish a goal, chances are they will succeed! However, sometimes it becomes a challenge to see our true potential through the murkiest of waters. When this happens, the mindset shifts to I am not good enough, smart enough, (insert yours here). Together, we can work on changing your narrative in dealing with unhelpful thoughts, feelings and repetitive patterns of behavior that undermine your ability to enjoy life to the fullest. "Whether you think you can or think you can't; you're right!"-Henry Ford.

Welcome! I believe in creating a friendly, judge-free atmosphere for you to comfortably share and process your past or current thoughts, emotions and issues together. Whether you’re feeling anxious, stressed, depressed, experiencing panic attacks or feeling like you’re going through a unique issue, you are not alone. Just talking and processing your week alone with someone who can listen without any interruptions, can be so healing. Additionally, being multi-cultural and bilingual, has allowed me to be culturally sensitive and work well with diverse backgrounds.

I believe in compassion, hope and spirituality as the driving forces in my practice. It is through these three elements that an individual finds their own truths and gains insight into their own lives. This is the essence of my practice along with learning tools to help one gain control over their issues rather than be controlled by them.

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.
