The number of sessions varies from person to person, depending on your unique needs and goals. I like to follow a “rule of three”—it typically takes about three sessions to lay a strong foundation, understand where you’re at, and determine the best course of action. After those first few visits, we’ll have a clearer idea of how therapy is progressing and what kind of timeline might make the most sense for you. Every journey is different, and we’ll adjust as we go to ensure you’re getting the support you need.

I offer both in-person and online sessions to accommodate different needs. If you're in the local area, I highly recommend in-person visits. There’s a certain magic that happens when we’re in the same room, one-on-one.

There’s also something deeply transformative about physically making space in your schedule, dedicating that time, energy, and environment solely to yourself. For many, this can be the first step toward learning to honor your needs, goals, and authentic life. It’s a small but powerful act of self-care that sets the tone for real change.

Finding the right therapist is a lot like finding any other meaningful relationship—sometimes you just click, and sometimes you don’t. We should be able to tell within a few sessions if we're a good match. If, however, we aren't a fit or my specialties don’t match up with the challenges you’re facing (like grief, for example) I'll help refer you on to someone better suited to your needs.

I also recommend meeting with a few therapists before committing to a series of sessions, and I won’t take it personally if you’re already interviewing others! It’s important that you feel comfortable and confident with the person you’re working with. Your growth and well-being are my priority, and finding the right fit is key to that.

Yes, I’m certified and experienced in EMDR therapy (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), which can be a powerful tool for processing trauma and other distressing experiences. However, I always recommend focusing on building a strong therapeutic relationship first, rather than jumping straight into a specific type of therapy. Sometimes, EMDR might not be the best fit right away, or another modality might be more suited to your current needs.

We can work together to explore what feels right for you, and if EMDR is the path we take, I’ll ensure it’s at the right time and pace for your growth.

Most clients are able to use their insurance plans to cover therapy. I accept the following plans: Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna and Evernorth, Elevance, Optum, Oxford, and UnitedHealthcare UHC | UBH. 

If you're unsure about your coverage, I recommend reaching out to your insurance provider to verify your benefits for mental health services. Or, contact me if you're concerned about making therapy accessible to you.  

For those without insurance, the self pay fee for individual sessions is $170. Payments can be made via American Express, Discover, Health Savings Account cards, Mastercard, or Visa.

I also offer a sliding scale fee for clients who need financial flexibility. If cost is a concern, please don't hesitate to reach out—I believe therapy should be accessible to everyone and am happy to discuss options that work for you.
