FAQs

  • Do you take insurance?

    I am not in-network with insurance providers. I offer clients superbills to receive out-of-network reimbursement. Most insurances offer 50%-80% reimbursement for out-of-network coverage. I recommend calling your insurance and asking the following questions:

    * Do my benefits include out-of-network coverage for outpatient therapy?

    * What is the out-of-network deductible, and when does it apply?

    * Once I reach my deductible, what percentage is covered for out-of-network therapy?

  • How often are sessions and where do they take place?

    I recommend consistent, weekly therapy at the beginning of our work. Consistency is key, especially as we do the deeper therapeutic work and build our relationship. I offer both in-person therapy in Midtown Manhattan and remotely through telehealth.

  • What does a session with you look like?

    Therapy with me is engaging and collaborative. While I provide validation, I'll also gently guide you to self-reflection. We'll explore your role in different dynamics and delve into those hard-to-ask questions that can lead to deeper understanding. Sometimes, pausing and focusing on the present moment can be incredibly helpful. Sessions may include mindful breathing exercises to reset the nervous system in the here and now.

  • I've never been to therapy. What can I expect?

    I understand how taking that first step to begin therapy is daunting. Therapy is a confidential space, which often involves delving into your emotions, even the uncomfortable ones. Therapy with me is a practice of slowly and safely turning towards things we are avoiding or pushing down. Through trauma-informed environment, we will build your window of tolerance for feelings that may have felt overwhelming or unmanageable before. As we work together at your pace, you'll develop greater capacity to be present with difficult emotions without becoming flooded or shutting down. This expanded emotional resilience becomes a foundation for healing, helping you navigate life's challenges with more clarity, self-compassion, and authentic connection to yourself and others.

  • What are your fees?

    My rate is $200 for a 50-minute individual session and $240 for couples. Accessibility to mental healthcare is important to me, I do offer sliding scale spots based on financial need. Please reach out for more information.

  • What is your approach to the client-therapist relationship?

    I view my clients as active agents in their own healing process, with the innate wisdom and power to create meaningful change. My role is to provide a safe, supportive space where that healing can naturally unfold—a space where you can explore, feel, and grow without judgment. I believe emotions are our internal compass, providing valuable information about our needs, boundaries, truest Self. Rather than viewing difficult emotions as problems to solve, we'll explore them together as messengers that can guide us toward deeper understanding. This emotion-focused approach means we'll pay attention to what you're feeling in real-time, helping you develop greater emotional awareness and regulation skills that extend far beyond our sessions.

    I view our time together as your personal, sacred space for reflection and growth each week. While I may offer insights, feedback, or gentle challenges when they align with your goals, I'm equally invested in understanding your inner world and following your lead. This is collaborative healing: honoring your autonomy while providing the relational support that facilitates transformation.

    If you're seeking a therapist who maintains professional distance or serves as a "blank slate," we likely wouldn't be the right fit. I believe healing happens through relationship, and I bring warmth, presence, and genuine engagement to our work together.

  • How long should I be in therapy?

    The therapeutic healing journey is just that, a journey, not a destination. I recommend at least a 6-month commitment for therapeutic progress. Ultimately, the length of your journey will be unique and determined by your individual needs and goals. Please note that I do not offer drop in style therapy.
