About Therapy

What type of therapy do you offer?

The cornerstone of my clinical practice is AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy)—an experiential, somatic, relational, trauma-informed approach that integrates affective neuroscience and attachment theory. AEDP invites you to connect with your true self, explore your feelings with patience and compassion, and experience meaningful emotional shifts. This therapeutic approach integrates both mind and body in the healing process, tapping into innate resiliency, and cultivating self-compassion, and lasting change. It is especially effective for trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles, as it’s rooted in understanding how our emotional lives and early attachments shape who we are and how we heal.

While AEDP is the foundation of my work with clients, I also integrate varying elements of other evidence-based modalities depending on each client’s individual needs. These include Narrative Therapy, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), SFBT (Solution-Focused Brief Therapy), IFS (Internal Family Systems), and Feminist Therapy. These approaches can complement our work together and support deeper, long-term emotional well-being.

My work is always client-centered, meaning therapy is guided by your goals, pace, and lived experience. I am deeply committed to fostering a compassionate, comfortable, and non-judgmental space where clients feel fully seen and accompanied every step of the way—empowering them to move beyond healing and into transformation.

What types of issues do you treat?

I work with individuals facing a wide range of life challenges—from everyday transitions to more complex and profound trauma. My primary focus is supporting people in navigating anxiety, panic, trauma, PTSD, and relational issues. With extensive experience in relational and somatic therapy approaches, I help clients manage and heal from these concerns in a compassionate and effective way.

In addition, I also support individuals coping with grief and loss, as well as those managing depression, chronic pain, chronic illness, sleep issues, OCD, and traumatic brain injuries (TBI).

Whether you’re grappling with the effects of trauma, struggling with persistent anxiety or panic, or feeling stuck, my goal is to create a safe and supportive space for meaningful healing, emotional resilience, and personal growth. Together, we’ll work to reconnect you with yourself and help you rediscover a renewed sense of hope and fulfillment.

Inclusive, Affirming Care

I offer inclusive, empowering therapy that honors each person’s unique identity and lived experience. Grounded in cultural awareness and a deep respect for the complexity of each individual’s story, my practice is committed to creating a compassionate, open, and nonjudgmental space. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and have a particular dedication to supporting women as they navigate the emotional, relational, and systemic challenges that shape their lives. I also provide LGBTQ-affirming care within a supportive therapeutic environment, offering space to deepen self-understanding, build resilience, and enhance relational well-being. Above all, my goal is to ensure every client feels seen, respected, and genuinely supported throughout their therapeutic journey.

Do you offer therapy for couples and families?

At this time, I work with individuals only. If you are looking for couples counseling or family therapy, I’m happy to provide a referral.

Do you offer online therapy?

Yes, I offer telehealth (virtual) psychotherapy services for clients located in New York State. Telehealth allows us to meet securely through a HIPAA-compliant video platform, providing flexibility and accessibility—whether you're at home, at work, or traveling within the state.

Telehealth can be just as effective as in-person therapy and is a great option if you prefer the convenience or need support without commuting. If you're unsure whether telehealth is the right fit for you, I'm happy to discuss your needs and answer any questions.

How do I know if I need therapy?

Therapy may be helpful if you're experiencing persistent anxiety, panic, sadness, or stress that impacts your daily life, relationships, or work. It can also support personal growth in yourself and your relationships, provide emotional insight, and promote overall mental health and well-being—even if you don’t have a specific mental health concern.

Scheduling & Structure

Start with a Free Consultation Call

To begin the process of working together, I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation. Please reach out by phone (call or text) or email to schedule. This brief conversation gives us a chance to connect, explore your needs, and determine whether we’re a good fit before moving forward with therapy.

How long do therapy sessions last?

Intake sessions typically last between 60 and 75 minutes, while ongoing therapy sessions are generally 50 to 55 minutes. In some cases, shorter 45-minute sessions may be available based on your needs.

How often should I attend therapy sessions?

Clients typically attend therapy once or twice a week, based on their individual needs and concerns. Weekly sessions offer consistent support, helping individuals develop coping strategies and make steady progress toward their goals. Regular meetings provide a safe space to address challenges as they emerge, promoting greater self-awareness and emotional growth.

Fees & Insurance

How much do sessions cost?

For private pay and out-of-network clients, intake sessions are $195, and subsequent sessions (standard 50-55 minute sessions) are $150.

Do you accept insurance?

I am currently in-network with a limited number of insurance companies. Please inquire if you're looking for in-network care.

For out-of-network services, I provide superbills that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. For certain insurance companies, I can submit superbills directly on your behalf.

Do you offer sliding scale fees?

I offer sliding scale fees on a restricted basis to help make therapy more accessible for those with financial need. These spots are reserved for clients who may not otherwise be able to access care, so availability is limited. Please note that clients using the sliding scale are not eligible to submit superbills for insurance reimbursement.

Is therapy covered by health insurance?

The majority of insurance companies provide coverage for outpatient psychotherapy services rendered by both in-network and out-of-network providers. Coverage details vary depending on your specific plan. I recommend contacting your insurance provider to inquire about your benefits, including coverage for therapy, your annual deductible, and coinsurance rates. This will help you understand your options before scheduling an appointment.

What is your cancellation policy?

If you need to cancel or reschedule a session, please provide at least 24 hours' notice. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice may be subject to the full session fee.

That said, I understand that illness, emergencies, and unforeseen circumstances happen. I aim to be as flexible as possible and will waive the fee under certain conditions, which we can discuss on a case-by-case basis. This policy helps protect time for all clients and supports the consistency and effectiveness of your care.

Confidentiality & Privacy

Is therapy confidential?

Confidentiality is a key component of psychotherapy. What we discuss in sessions is private and protected by law, with a few exceptions. These exceptions include situations involving suspected child abuse or neglect, dependent adult or elder abuse, imminent risk of serious harm to yourself or others, or if your records are subpoenaed by a court. I will explain these exceptions at the beginning of our work together to ensure that you feel informed and supported.

What about privacy for online therapy?

My practice utilizes a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform that ensures that your psychotherapy sessions are private and secure. HIPAA-compliant telehealth platforms meet strict privacy and security standards to protect your personal and health information, allowing you to engage in therapy from the comfort of your home while maintaining confidentiality.

If I use insurance or request a superbill for reimbursement purposes will my personal information be shared?

If you use insurance or request a superbill for reimbursement, I’m required to provide a diagnosis and sometimes limited treatment information. I only share the minimum necessary details to protect your confidentiality.

Can you share information with my primary care doctor, psychistrist, or other health care specialist?

I strongly believe in an interdisciplinary approach to health and wellness and am happy to collaborate with other healthcare providers as needed. To do so, I will require a signed consent for release of information form. We will always discuss any release in advance to ensure you feel comfortable and fully informed.

Clinical Support Documentation

Do you provide documentation for school, work, or other purposes?

Yes, for current therapy clients, I provide clinical documentation when it is appropriate, clinically necessary, and within the scope of my practice as an LCSW. This may include letters for school or workplace accommodations, such as mental health-related leave, exam extensions, increased testing time, or remote work, as well as clinical summaries or treatment verification letters for administrative purposes. In some cases, I may also provide short-term disability documentation when clinically warranted. Please note that a signed consent for release of information will be required for any documentation requests.

Do you provide letters for Emotional Support Animals (ESA’s) or Psychiatric Service Dogs (PSD’s)?

I do provide ESA and psychiatric service dog letters on occasion, but only for current therapy clients, after a thorough clinical assessment determines clinical appropriateness and clinical necessity. Please note that while I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-R) and a certified professional dog trainer (CPDT-KA), dog training and canine behavioral evaluations fall outside the scope of my psychotherapy practice. Therefore, I do not offer service dog training or canine behavior services as part of my therapy services.

For Therapists and Other Healthcare Professionals: Referrals, Consultations, and Clinical Supervision

Referrals

I welcome referrals from therapists, healthcare providers, and other professionals who believe their clients would benefit from my services. I am committed to working collaboratively with other professionals to provide holistic care and ensure the best outcomes for individuals seeking therapy.

Coordination of Care

With a signed release, I’m happy to coordinate care with psychiatrists/psychiatric nurse practitioners, primary care providers, and other health professionals to support integrated treatment.

Professional Case Consultations

I offer professional case consultations for providers working with clients who are navigating anxiety, panic, or trauma histories. If you’re looking for support thinking through clinical dynamics, treatment planning, or next steps for a complex case, feel free to contact me directly. I’m happy to collaborate.

Clinical Supervision for Social Workers

I offer clinical supervision for licensed social workers in New York State, with a special focus on early-career clinicians who are developing their voice and presence in the therapy room. My supervision supports therapists who are drawn to relational, experiential, and somatic approaches—including AEDP, trauma-informed care, and attachment-based work.

Supervision with me is collaborative, reflective, and grounded in both clinical skill-building and emotional support. I aim to help clinicians deepen their attunement, strengthen their clinical instincts, and feel more confident working with complex emotional material—especially in cases involving anxiety, panic, and attachment trauma.
