Therapy with me is a personalized and collaborative experience designed to meet your unique needs. We’ll begin with a brief consultation call to explore your concerns, clarify your goals, and determine if we’re a good fit. If we decide to move forward, our first session will be about getting to know you – your background, your current challenges, and what you’re hoping to shift. 

From there, we’ll build a tailored treatment plan using evidence-based approaches to help you move forward with clarity and purpose. Sessions are typically 45 minutes, and while timelines vary, most clients reach their goals in about 3 to 6 months of working with me. Our pace and focus will always align with what you are hoping to gain from therapy, your growth, and what feels sustainable for you.

Currently, I offer therapy exclusively through secure, online sessions. I work with clients based in New York, Maryland, Alabama and Florida, providing care that fits into your life – not the other way around. Whether you’re at home, on a lunch break in your car, or simply need the ease of virtual care, telehealth makes support accessible and flexible.

Yes – research shows that virtual therapy is just as effective as in-person care for many concerns, including sleep difficulties, anxiety, trauma, and stress. I use evidence-based approaches tailored for telehealth, so you get high-quality care with added convenience. 

Virtual sessions also eliminate the stress of commuting, scheduling conflicts, or needing extra time off work. In fact, many clients find that the ease of access leads to more consistency and thus, ultimately, better results.

No - like most private practice psychologists, I am a private-pay, out-of-network provider and don’t work directly with insurance companies. This is an intentional choice that allows me to offer the highest-quality, personalized care without the limitations often imposed by insurance, such as session caps or mandated diagnoses. 

That said, many clients receive partial or full reimbursement for therapy through their out-of-network benefits. I provide “superbills” (detailed receipts) you can submit to your insurance, and services like Thrizer can help streamline this process by handling reimbursement for you. Clients who utilize Thrizer typically receive reimbursements via direct deposit within a few weeks. 

If you’d like to explore reimbursement from your insurance company directly, and have out-of-network benefits, here are helpful questions to ask your insurance provider:

1. Does my policy include out-of-network benefits for mental/behavioral health services?

2. Does my policy cover psychologists and/or social workers?

3. How much will I be reimbursed for the following services:

   • Initial intake (CPT code 90791)

   • 60-minute session (CPT code 90837)

   • 45-minute session (CPT code 90834)

   • 30-minute session (CPT code 90832)

   • Group psychotherapy session (CPT code 90853)

4. Are there any services or types of therapy that are not covered for which I will not be reimbursed?

5. How many sessions of psychotherapy are covered each year under my policy?

6. Do I need to meet a deductible before I am eligible for out-of-network benefits? How much of my deductible have I met this year?

7. Can I pay out-of-pocket for my sessions and submit superbills for reimbursement?

8. Does my insurance cover teletherapy sessions, or are there restrictions?

9. Do I need to obtain an authorization prior to starting treatment?

10. What documentation do I need to submit to receive reimbursement (e.g., superbills, progress notes, etc.)?

Working with a private-pay psychologist means your care is completely tailored to you – not your insurance policy. We can focus fully on your growth without need to assign diagnoses, meet arbitrary session limits, or follow treatment guidelines that don’t fit your needs or goals.

Because I don’t work with insurance companies, I’m able to maintain a smaller caseload and dedicate more time and attention to you. This allows for a stronger therapeutic relationship, deeper collaboration, and the flexibility to adjust as you grow and progress.

Many people also find that private-pay therapy can be more cost-effective in the long run. We can often work more intensively and efficiently, which can lead to faster progress and fewer overall sessions – ultimately saving you both time and money.

Another key benefit is increased privacy. By choosing to work with a private-pay psychologist, your personal information can stay between us – there’s no need to share sensitive health details with insurance companies or have a mental health diagnosis on your medical record unless you choose to.

Additionally, as a licensed psychologist, I bring years of extensive, doctoral-level training in therapy, assessment, evaluation, and research. Psychologists complete rigorous doctoral-level education, including at least five years of graduate training – spanning doctoral coursework, clinical research, and thousands of hours of supervised experience. This depth of expertise allows me to assess complex concerns, apply research-backed interventions, and tailor strategies with greater precision. While many therapists provide excellent care, working with a psychologist offers a level of specialization that can lead to deeper insight, more effective treatment and longer-lasting results.

In short, I offer the highest-quality care paired with more freedom, flexibility, and privacy – helping us focus entirely on what matters most: your growth, healing, and goals.

Therapy is a meaningful investment in your emotional, mental, and physical well-being and growth, and I approach it with care, intention, and a individualized focus tailored to your goals. My fees reflect the depth of training, clinical expertise, time, and personalized care I bring to each session. While I don’t list fees directly on my site (as they vary by service and session length), I’m happy to share them during our consultation or by request. 

I also understand that finances matter when choosing a therapist. That’s why I offer superbills for out-of-network reimbursement from insurance and reserve a small number of reduced-fee spots for those who need them. My clients can also use Thrizer- a secure, optional service that can help you manage your out-of-network benefits. If you choose to use Thrizer, you can quickly verify your insurance benefits, upload superbills, and get reimbursed directly to your bank account - no phone calls with your insurance company required.

Yes! You can pay for services directly from your HSA using your HSA debit card or reimburse yourself for sessions paid out-of-pocket. I also accept Visa, Discover, and American Express.

The No Surprises Act ensures transparency in billing. If you’re paying out-of-pocket, you’re entitled to a Good Faith Estimate – a document outlining the expected costs for your care. I’m happy to provide one at any time. Learn more here.
