Everyone can benefit from therapy, regardless of their individual mental health needs. While many people seek therapy for specific concerns, such as depression, anxiety, and ADHD, others benefit from having a validating and non-judgmental space to discuss their thoughts and feelings and work through challenges.

I treat a variety of conditions and concerns. See more here.

The therapy relationship is just like any other relationship. It is important that you work with a therapist who is a good match for you and your goals, strengths, and style of learning. It is important to feel comfortable in the therapeutic space and to trust your therapist; this also means that it is important to feel like we get along well on an interpersonal level. My job is to help you, and if something I’m doing is not working for you, I definitely want to know. Even still, you may feel as though we are not a good match, and that’s fine! If that happens, I will do my best to help you find someone who is.

The first session is what is referred to as an “intake” session. Before we begin the work of therapy, it is important for me to have some background information. During this first session, we will be speaking about what is going on in your life currently as well as your history. We will talk about any symptoms you are experiencing and how long they have been affecting you. We will discuss your goals for therapy and how we can achieve them together. This gives me foundational knowledge that I can use to plan treatment going forward.

I do take insurance! I am a covered provider under Aetna, United Healthcare, Oscar Health, Empire BCBS, and Oxford. Some insurances may have waitlists; I can let you know my waitlist status if you reach out.

I charge $275 for a 45-minute session. A sliding scale is available on a case-by-case basis.

If your insurance company offers out-of-network benefits, you should receive some reimbursement for the cost of therapy. Many insurance companies that provide out-of-network benefits cover between 50%-75% of the cost per session.

If you would like to get reimbursed, the first step is to contact your insurance company and ask them “do I have out of network benefits?” If they say yes, you will need to follow up and ask if you have a deductible or out-of-pocket minimum (aka how much you need to spend before these benefits kick in).

I can provide you with something called a “superbill,” which you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

Yes. I ask for at least 24-hours’ notice if you need to cancel a session. That way, I can offer the spot to another client who may need it.

You will be charged a cancellation fee for a missed session or late cancellation if we can’t find another time to meet in the same week. My availability is limited, so I may not be able to put you in a new time slot in the same week.

Sessions are typically 45 minutes long.

I meet with all new clients once every week. As we progress in treatment, it may make sense to discuss other intervals (e.g. biweekly sessions) as best fits your needs.

It depends! The length of therapy is affected by the reasons you are coming to treatment, your goals for the work, and the ways we address those goals. Sometimes I do short-term work that lasts a few months. More frequently, we need to meet for a longer amount of time to make sure all your goals are thoroughly addressed.

Yes! While the majority of my services will be provided online, I will be conducting in-person sessions once a month on the last week of the month (these sessions are opt-in). Sessions will be conducted at the McShane Center in downtown Manhattan.
