Frequently Asked Questions

You don’t have to decide that on your own, or in advance. If what you’ve read here sounds like the kind of help you’re looking for, send me a brief email with any general questions about working together, and we can see whether it makes sense. You don’t need to have it organized or know what to call it.

Send me a brief email through the Contact page. Include your name and any general questions about working together. Please leave out personal medical or mental health details in that first note. From there, we’ll work out next steps.

Our first session is an opportunity to begin getting to know each other and talk about what brought you to therapy. You can share what’s been happening, what you’ve tried before, and what you’re hoping might change. You don’t need to prepare a polished explanation or have everything figured out before we meet.

My practice is primarily private pay, with a session rate of $175, and I accept credit cards. Insurance-based appointments may be considered on a case-by-case basis through Headway, depending on coverage and availability. You’ll find more on my Rates & Insurance page. If you’re uninsured or paying out of pocket, you have the right to request a Good Faith Estimate.

It’s collaborative and built around you, not a script. I’m interested in how earlier experiences shape the way you respond now, in relationships and in how you treat yourself. My clinical work draws on EMDR, Internal Family Systems, CBT, and the Gottman Method. My About page says more about how I think about the work.

I can’t promise it will feel different, but I can tell you where my attention goes. If you already understand yourself well, I won’t stop at insight. I’m interested in whether something actually shifts in your daily life: how you respond in hard moments, how you treat yourself afterward, what you let yourself ask for.

Not necessarily. Earlier experiences often shape how we respond today, so they may come up, but the past isn’t the point in itself. Where we spend our time is something we decide together, and it’s guided by what you’re dealing with now.

No. Some people come to therapy with a specific concern, while others know something isn’t working but have trouble putting it into words. You don’t need a diagnosis, a perfectly defined goal, or a clear explanation of everything that’s happened. We can begin with what’s bothering you and make sense of the rest together.

All of my sessions take place online, so you can attend from a private, comfortable space rather than traveling to an office. You’ll need a reliable internet connection and somewhere you can speak freely. If you’re new to online therapy, I’m happy to answer questions about what to expect.

I’m licensed in New Jersey, which is my primary focus, as well as North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina, and Virginia. In Florida, I’m a Registered Telehealth Provider. My license numbers, and the type of license in each state, are listed on my About page.

Yes. I provide therapy in both English and Spanish. If you have a preference, mention it when you reach out. Choosing the language that feels most natural for the things you’re trying to say is a reasonable place to start.

I work with adults, many of them thoughtful people who understand a lot about themselves and still feel stuck. Common concerns include relationship struggles, anxiety and overthinking, trauma, family dynamics, boundaries, people-pleasing, self-criticism, and low mood. If what you’re facing isn’t on that list, you’re welcome to ask. My Services page describes my three main areas in more detail. ---
