Frequently Asked Questions

Starting therapy can feel like a big step. Here are some of the most common questions people ask before getting started. If you don’t see your question here, I’d be glad to talk it through with you during a free consultation call.

  • The best first step is to schedule a free 15–20 minute consultation call. This gives us a chance to talk about what you’re looking for, answer your questions, and see if working together feels like a good fit. You can schedule directly through my scheduling link.

  • Yes, I offer secure telehealth sessions for clients across New York and California. I also see clients in person in San Francisco.

  • Most clients meet with me once a week for 50 minutes. Weekly sessions help build momentum and consistency, especially at the beginning. We can always revisit the frequency as therapy progresses.

  • I am an out-of-network provider, which means I don’t bill insurance directly. Many of my clients use their out-of-network benefits and receive partial reimbursement. I’m happy to provide a “superbill” (an itemized receipt) you can submit to your insurance company and are entitled to a Good Faith Estimate of therapy costs.

  • My full fee is $225 per 50-minute session, but in efforts to make therapy more accessible, I offer sliding scale slots and can work with you to find a fee that is sustainable.

  • I work with adults who want support with:

    • Navigating family and relationship dynamics

    • Healing from trauma or painful past experiences

    • ADHD and autism, including late-diagnosed adults

    • Anxiety, overwhelm, or burnout

    • Perfectionism, self-criticism, or feeling “stuck”

  • That’s completely okay. Many of my clients are new to therapy. We’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you, and you’ll never be pushed to share more than you’re ready for.

  • It’s a big step to try therapy again if you’ve been disappointed by it before! Whether you did a successful stint of therapy and have new goals or you found it unhelpful in the past, let’s talk more about what you need this time.

  • Yes. Research shows that telehealth can be just as effective as in-person therapy for most concerns. Many clients also appreciate the convenience of meeting from their own home or office.

  • You don’t need to have all the answers before starting therapy. Many people come in simply knowing they feel “off,” stuck, or overwhelmed. Together, we’ll figure out what matters most to you and where you’d like to go.

  • The best way to find out is through our consultation call. Therapy is a very personal experience, and it’s important that you feel comfortable with your therapist. In our call, you’ll get a sense of my style, and we can decide together if it feels like a good fit. You can schedule your call here.
