Therapy is right for anyone who wants to feel better, understand themselves more deeply, and build a life that aligns with their values. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, navigating a major life change, or simply want an objective space to explore your thoughts, therapy can be an incredibly powerful tool. You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from support.
The first session is about connection and information gathering. It's a chance for us to meet each other, and for you to share what brought you to therapy. I'll ask questions about your history, your current challenges, and your goals. Most importantly, we'll discover if we're a good fit to work together. You can also ask me any questions you have about my approach. There's no pressure—it's a conversation.
The easiest way is to schedule a free 15-minute consultation call using my online calendar. This call is a chance for us to briefly connect, answer your questions, and see if we are a good fit. If we decide to move forward, we can schedule your first full session directly from there.
I believe in accessible care. My practice operates on a sliding scale for standard 53-minute individual therapy sessions. This means fees are adjusted based on financial need to ensure cost is not a barrier to your healing. Please contact me directly to discuss my current scale availability.
Great news—I will be accepting insurance soon! I am currently in the credentialing process to become an in-network provider with several major insurers, including:
In the meantime, I am considered an out-of-network provider. I can provide you with a monthly "Superbill" (a detailed receipt) that you can submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. I highly recommend calling your insurer to ask about your out-of-network mental health benefits.
Please contact me for the most up-to-date status on my insurance participation.
I require 24 hours notice for cancellations. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours notice will be charged the full session fee. I understand that emergencies and illnesses happen, and I will always assess these situations with compassion and flexibility.
I accept all major credit cards, debit cards, and HSA/FSA cards. Payment is collected automatically through the secure client portal at the time of your session.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) trained in and integrate several evidence-based approaches, including:
I am currently providing all sessions via secure telehealth for clients located in New Jersey.
I am in the process of securing a physical office space in Bergen County to offer face-to-face sessions. Please contact me for the latest updates on the opening date and availability.
A standard individual therapy session is 53 minutes long. Most clients begin with weekly sessions to build momentum and trust. As you progress, we may mutually decide to move to a less frequent schedule. The frequency is always based on your individual needs.
Texts, emails, and voicemails are welcome for administrative needs (e.g., scheduling, billing questions) or to briefly check in. I strive to respond to all messages promptly.
Please note: My standard response time is within 48 hours. I do not provide crisis support via text, email, or phone.
Once you are an active client, you will receive a secure link and login information for the client portal. The portal is where you can manage appointments, complete paperwork, and send secure messages.
I'm here to help. Contact me directly and I'll get back to you within 48 hours.
