Therapy is a collaborative process and a strong therapeutic alliance is important. We’ll start off with a free 15-minute consultation call to determine if I’m the right therapist to meet your needs. If I find that I feel another therapist is best suited to help you with your therapy goals, I’ll give you some referrals. If I determine we are a good fit, we can schedule an intake session and I will send you electronic consents.

At the time of the intake session we’ll review informed consent. I’ll then ask you more in depth questions about what brought you to therapy, your history, and what you’re looking to achieve or change through therapy. Don’t worry! I’m here to make this process as comfortable as possible for you. This is the start of your healing journey and I’m here to support and empower you through it!

After the initial session we begin to meet for regular sessions. Together we can determine what works for you whether that be weekly, biweekly, or monthly down the line. I offer a blend of practical strategies and compassionate support. We will go at your pace and work on what you feel is most important to you. My main goal is for you to feel safe, heard, and empowered to heal, grow, and create meaningful change in your life.

Yes! I am educated, trained, and licensed

to provide you mental health therapy. Clinical social work is defined as a mental health profession focused on assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders. I am trained in the same therapeutic interventions and techniques as other licensed therapists and counselors.

I do not accept insurance because it keeps me from providing you with the highest quality care possible. Here are some benefits:

1. Greater flexibility of services - we can determine the best course of treatment without restrictions set by insurance companies.

2. Greater protection of your privacy and confidentiality.

3. No formal record of diagnosis or labels necessary.

4. I can focus on you instead of spending time and energy on insurance policies, forms, and red tape.

Check with your insurance company about out of network benefits. At the time of each session you will pay up front and I will provide you with a form to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement or partial reimbursement.

My rates are $250 for 50 minute sessions and $350 for 80 minute sessions. All intake sessions are scheduled for 80 minutes at $350. We can decide together if 80 minute sessions are something you are interested in and/or meet your needs going forward.

If you can’t afford a session with me, I take a limited number of sliding fee scale clients. Please ask me about this during our consultation.

I currently only offer online therapy sessions through a HIPAA compliant Telehealth platform. I love doing both online and in-person sessions so it is my goal to offer an in-person location in Fairfield County Connecticut in the future.

Yes! Research has found online therapy to be just as effective as in-person therapy. Life can get hectic and online therapy allows better flexibility and ease with scheduling and attending appointments. You may also find that engaging in therapy in a safe and familiar place can make the opening up process more comfortable for you. I have provided both online and in-person sessions throughout my career and have had success building therapeutic rapport with both!

Yes! We all process and experience life events differently. Although EMDR was originally designed to treat individuals who have experienced traumatic events, you don’t need to have a PTSD diagnosis to benefit from it. EMDR can help with other issues like anxiety and depression. It can be beneficial to anyone who experiences negative thoughts or feelings that keep them “stuck”.
