I am a private-pay practice and do not bill insurance directly.
However, I partner with Mentaya to help clients use their out-of-network insurance benefits. Depending on your plan and eligibility, Mentaya may help you understand your benefits and streamline the reimbursement process.
Superbills are also available upon request if you prefer to submit claims to your insurance company yourself.
Out-of-network reimbursement is determined by your insurance plan and cannot be guaranteed.
-
Yes. I reserve a limited number of sliding-scale spots for clients who may not be able to afford my full fee.
If cost would otherwise make treatment difficult to access, please ask about current sliding-scale availability during your consultation.

My psychotherapy practice is 100% virtual.
I currently provide online therapy to clients located in:
Connecticut · New York · New Jersey · California · Virginia · Florida · Maryland
You must be physically located in a state where I am authorized to practice at the time of your therapy appointment.
-
Sessions take place through a secure video platform, allowing you to attend therapy from the privacy of your own space.
You'll need a reliable internet connection, a device with video and audio, and a private location where you can participate comfortably and confidentially.
-
Your first appointment is a 75-minute comprehensive clinical evaluation.
We'll talk about what brings you to therapy, your history, current concerns, previous treatment, relationships, strengths, and what you want to change.
After the evaluation, I'll share my recommendations and we'll discuss what makes sense for treatment going forward.
-
Most individual psychotherapy sessions are 60 minutes.
Your initial clinical evaluation is 75 minutes. Couples sessions are typically 75 minutes, and some treatments, including Prolonged Exposure (PE), may use 90-minute extended sessions when clinically indicated.
-
Treatment frequency is individualized. Many clients meet weekly, while others may meet biweekly or at another frequency based on their needs, treatment plan, and progress.
I also offer intensive or massed treatment for clients who may benefit from meeting more frequently. Your formal practice policies already allow for weekly, multiple-times-per-week, biweekly, or other mutually agreed-upon frequencies based on the treatment plan.

There isn't one answer for everyone. Some evidence-based treatments are designed to be relatively focused and time-limited. For example:
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is typically about 12 sessions, although treatment can be shorter or longer depending on your progress and needs.
Prolonged Exposure (PE) is typically 8–15 sessions.
Cognitive Behavioral Conjoint Therapy for PTSD (CBCT) is typically 15 sessions for couples.
Those numbers are guidelines, not deadlines or guarantees. You aren't required to finish therapy simply because we've reached a particular session number, and I won't keep you in treatment simply because a protocol says there are sessions left.
We'll pay attention to your progress, what you want from treatment, and what you actually need.
The goal isn't to keep you in therapy longer than you need it. It's to help you get better.
-
Yes. For some patients, meeting more frequently can be an effective way to make progress in treatment.
Rather than spreading therapy out over a longer period of time, intensive or massed treatment involves completing sessions on a more concentrated schedule—typically at least twice per week, and sometimes more frequently depending on the treatment and your needs.
For certain evidence-based treatments, particularly trauma-focused therapies, a more concentrated schedule may help you build momentum, reduce the amount of time between sessions, and complete a course of treatment over a shorter period of time.
Intensive treatment isn't right for everyone. We'll consider what you're experiencing, your treatment goals, schedule, preferences, and the treatment we're considering.
If you're interested in a more intensive approach or want to explore making progress on a more concentrated timeline, let me know. We can discuss whether it makes sense for you. -
Please provide at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment.
Appointments canceled with less than 24 hours' notice and missed appointments are charged the full session fee. Exceptions may be made at my discretion for genuine emergencies or unforeseen circumstances.
