Yes. Sliding scale is available based on need. Please don’t let cost keep you from reaching out—if we can’t find a fee that works, I’ll do my best to connect you with someone who can work within your budget.

I do not accept insurance. However, many PPO plans offer partial reimbursement for psychotherapy services when clients submit a superbill, which I can provide.

Reimbursement depends on your specific insurance plan, and is based on factors such as your out-of-network benefits and your deductible.

For clients with PPO plans that include out-of-network benefits, reimbursement is often somewhere between 20–60% of the insurance company’s allowed amount after the deductible is met, though the exact amount depends entirely on your specific plan.

Clients are encouraged to contact their insurer prior to starting therapy to understand their out-of-network benefits and estimated reimbursement. See next question or guidance with how to do this.

Call the number on your card, or use your insurance portal’s chat feature, and ask:

• Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?

• What is my deductible, and has any of it been met?Is my mental health deductible separate from my general deductible?

• What is the reimbursement rate for CPT code 90834?(45-minute individual therapy session) For couples the code is 90847 (conjoint therapy with patient present).

• Is the reimbursement rate different for telehealth (CPT code 90834-95)?

• What is the allowed amount per session?(Some plans reimburse a percentage of an allowed rate, not the therapist’s actual fee.)

• What is my out-of-pocket maximum, after which therapy is reimbursed at 100%?

• What's the best way to submit superbills?

Unfortunately no, I work exclusively with individuals who reside in New York State. Per NYS law, therapists must be licensed where the client is physically located for services.

Therapy sessions are 45-minutes, except for your initial intake session which is 60 minutes.

During our first (intake) session, I’ll ask questions to understand what’s bringing you to therapy and what you hope to gain from our work together. We’ll review confidentiality and its limits, go over practical details like consent, fees, and policies, and begin gathering background information to help shape your care. This session sets the foundation for a collaborative therapeutic relationship and a treatment plan tailored to you.

Absolutely. As long as you are showing up and bringing your earnest attention with you, online therapy offers the same depth of connection and personal progress as in-person sessions. With the added flexibility of meeting from your own space, it removes travel barriers to make consistent, meaningful work more accessible and sustainable.

I am currently not accepting any new in-person clients for the time being. Sessions are online only.

My physical office is located in downtown New York City. If you are very eager for in-person sessions, exceptions can be granted for first-sessions only as my schedule allows. To be on the waitlist, state so on your consultation booking request, and we will talk more about it during our consultation call.

We will meet at the same time weekly. Consistent weekly sessions help to build trust, deepen insight, and create real momentum in your growth. Less frequent or biweekly sessions are not available.

Therapy is highly individual. Some people come in with a specific goal that can be obtained quickly with the support of a therapist. Other’s prefer the benefit of therapy in a more long-term capacity to explore deeper patterns and sustained growth. What works for you will be discussed during our consultation call and onwards during sessions. We’ll check in regularly to ensure you’re getting what you need from the process.

Yes. You are free to pause or end therapy at any time. A “termination” session is recommended to close out the work we’ve done together and propel you forward as needed.

Great question, and that is what the consultation call is designed to explore. The therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors in successful therapy.

This is useful information to know, but it doesn’t mean you can’t benefit from therapy. The fit between therapist and client is essential. We’ll talk about what didn’t work before, what you’re hoping for now, and how to get there together. We’ll move at a pace working toward real insight and change. If you’ve felt uncomfortable, or uninspired in past therapy, I invite you to try again—with curiosity, willingness, and a different kind of collaboration.

Yes. Everything you share in our sessions is confidential and protected under HIPAA and New York State law. However, I am a mandated reporter, meaning, if you have a plan for suicide, or a plan to cause physical harm to another being, I’m legally obligated to take the appropriate steps to ensure safety.

Yes. In New York State, I am a LMHC with diagnostic privilege based on my training and clinical work. I can diagnose mental health and behavioral disorders, as well as create treatment plans.

No. I can not prescribe medication. I’m qualified to collaborate with your psychiatrist, primary care doctor, or prescribing provider if medication is part of your treatment plan. If you’re interested in exploring if medication might support your mental health, I can help connect you with trusted providers. Therapy and medication often work well together.

Psychotherapy sessions with me are hypnosis-informed, not hypnosis-centered. If desired, and when appropriate, you could expect that I incorporate tools to support you as needed, such as somatic attunement, visualization, therapeutic imagery, and grounding exercises. This is something that can be discussed and will unfold as needed during our work together.

In addition to my psychotherapy lisencure, I am a certified health coach. I work with people in a coaching capacity to motivate and hold them accountable to their most optimal performance level and help them reach their goals.

Coaching is more directional than traditional psychotherapy. You can learn more about how coaching is distinct here.

The way we speak to ourselves matters—our internal dialogue shapes how we experience our lives, and there’s no way to outpace or bypass the thoughts we’re having. When our thinking is anxious, fearful, or limiting, our emotions and body (our autonomic nervous system and its limbic system), responds accordingly.

Affirmations serve as a counterweight to learned unhelpful thinking habits and our brain’s natural negativity bias. They are not about forcing positivity. Their spirit is in cultivating a new mental habit—an internal dialogue that offers resourcefulness, perspective, and choice. Affirmations can shift how we think, feel, and behave.

The affirmations I make are not perfect, and are not meant to be taken too seriously. I worked professionally as an artist throughout my younger years, and still love a steady and tangible creative outlet as a part of a lifestyle that is meaningful to me.

I don’t solicit for testimonials. Your therapy experience is meant to be private, protected, and centered on you, not on promoting me.

The best way to get a sense of how I work and if we are a good fit for collaboration is to schedule a consultation. There is no obligation to continue with scheduling beyond that.
