I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor providing telehealth therapy services in New York, Florida, and Maine. Though I work with individuals of all backgrounds, I specialize in supporting neurodivergent adults (as well as teens), young adults, couples (LGBTQIA+ inclusive), and caregivers of children with complex medical needs. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a match.

Get started by scheduling a free 15-minute consultation today. During our initial 15-minute phone call, you’ll have the opportunity to share a bit about what you’re looking for help with and what goals you have in mind for therapy. I will answer any questions you have about the therapy process, scheduling, fees, or anything else you’d like to know. Most importantly, we’ll decide if we’re a good fit to work together.

As a therapist, I like to meet people in the here-and-now. I believe the past influences our current behaviors, but the present moment is the only place we can begin. I use a person-centered and psychodynamic approach to assist individuals in understanding their deep-rooted patterns.

I am licensed to provide virtual therapy in New York, Florida, and Maine (https://flhealthsource.gov/telehealth/). I conduct sessions via Google Meet, a HIPAA-compliant platform that requires a stable internet connection. Research indicates that virtual therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy, and its advantages around accessibility and convenience can make it a preferred form for many.

I am an out-of-network provider, which means I do not accept insurance. In an effort to continue to make therapy accessible and affordable, I offer courtesy billing for out-of-network benefits at no added cost to you. While I am not an in-network provider with your insurance company, I am able to tap into any out-of-network coverage you may have and submit claims on your behalf. 

A 60-minute session costs $165. I accept all major credit cards, as well as HSA cards.

I do not believe there is an “ideal” client. I enjoy human connection and watching people transform, which means that I am open to working with anyone who is motivated to change. My clients are typically insightful, proactive, and receptive to honest feedback.

I require 24-hour notice for all cancellations. If you cancel with less than 24-hour notice, I will charge the full fee of the session. I understand that emergencies happen and will waive the fee in cases of extenuating circumstances.
