The first session is a chance to slow down and talk through what’s been most difficult. We’ll review your background, clarify your goals, and begin identifying patterns that may be keeping you stuck. You’ll leave with a clearer sense of direction and a few initial tools to start using right away.

For teens, the first session is typically a parent-only meeting to review consent and confidentiality and to gather relevant history and goals. A separate session with the teen is then scheduled. Some families prefer for the teen session to occur first or for both sessions to take place on the same day; we can discuss your scheduling preferences during the phone consultation.

Yes. I offer virtual sessions for individuals located in New York, Florida, and Connecticut.

Yes. I am based on the Upper East Side in NYC. My office is easily accessible from the 4/5/6.

I’m an out-of-network provider, which means clients pay at the time of the session and can request partial reimbursement directly from their insurance company. I provide a monthly statement (called a “superbill”) to make that process easier.

I am an out-of-network provider, which means I do not bill insurance directly and payment is due at time of service.

My fee is $250 for 30-minute sessions, $340 for 45-minute sessions, and $425 for 60-minute sessions.

I can provide monthly superbills to support reimbursement through your insurance plan. If you have out-of-network benefits, your insurer may reimburse a portion of the cost. I encourage you to check with your provider before we begin.

Therapy length varies based on your goals. Some clients find meaningful change within a few months; others choose to continue longer-term as they navigate deeper identity work or life transitions. We’ll check in regularly to make sure therapy remains aligned with your needs.

That’s completely okay. The consultation call is a low-pressure way to explore what you’re looking for and see if my approach feels like a good fit. If not, I’ll gladly suggest other options or referrals that may better meet your needs.

I earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of California, Berkeley, completed my predoctoral internship at NYU/Bellevue Hospital, and then pursued a postdoctoral fellowship at the NYU Child Study Center, where I served as a Clinical Assistant Professor.

I left NYU in 2025 to start my private practice. I am licensed in NY and CT and an authorized telehealth provider in FL.
