Frequently Asked Questions

Psychotherapy is a collaborative process where we explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I provide a supportive space to help you connect with yourself, reduce stress, and move toward your goals.

I enjoy working with people from all walks of life! I primarily work with teens, adults, and parents who feel like their emotions sometimes run the show — whether that’s anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or gender-related concerns. For parents, our work often focuses on managing your own stress while strengthening connection and communication with your child. If you’ve ever thought you’re “too much” or “not enough,” you’re in the right place. I like to help people find tools that actually fit their life. My hope is to create a space where you can feel understood, grounded, and more like yourself.

My work blends mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). These approaches help build emotional awareness, coping skills, and healthier relationships, with an emphasis on balancing acceptance and change.

Our first session (60 minutes) focuses on your history, concerns, and goals. Ongoing sessions (50 minutes) are tailored to you and may include conversation, reflection, and skill-building.

I offer a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit. You can schedule that through the Alma platform I use here. You can also use the contact form to get in touch with any questions or to book a consult.

I offer telehealth sessions Monday–Thursday and in-person sessions on Wednesdays at Greenhouse Wellness Center in Mount Airy, Philadelphia.

My fee is $210 for a 60-minute intake session and $160 for ongoing 50-minute sessions. I primarily operate as a private-pay, out-of-network provider, which means payment is made directly at the time of service.

For clients who wish to use their insurance, I can provide a superbill (an itemized receipt) that you may submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Many plans, including Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, and United Healthcare, offer partial reimbursement for out-of-network therapy services.

Through Alma’s insurance program, I’m also able to reserve a limited number of lower-fee openings for clients whose insurance is accepted through Alma. Currently, these include Aetna, Cigna, and Optum/United Healthcare.

If you are experiencing financial hardship or would like to explore these options, please mention it in your initial message so we can discuss availability.

Cancellations require at least 24 hours’ notice to avoid being charged for the session.

Both offer the same care and support. In-person allows face-to-face connection, while telehealth provides flexibility and convenience.

Yes, you’re welcome to switch formats as long as scheduling allows.

It depends on your needs—some clients benefit from short-term work, while others choose longer-term therapy. We’ll check in regularly to make sure it’s the right fit.
