Frequently Asked Questions

How much is therapy?

Sessions are $250. Payment can be made by cash, check, credit card, FSA account, Chase QuickPay, or Zelle. I provide monthly statements that you may submit to your insurance and keep for your financial records. All financial statements are also available to you through a secure, HIPAA-compliant website, which I will provide access to.

Are you conducting virtual or in-person sessions?

I am currently not accepting new clients in person or virtually. However, sessions are typically conducted virtually and in person. Virtual sessions are conducted via Doxy (for individual sessions) and Zoom (for parent sessions). Both web platforms are HIPAA Compliant.

In-person sessions are held at 77 Bleecker Street, Suite C-111, New York, NY 10012

How long is each therapy session?

Sessions are typically 45 minutes and held weekly. At times, I may recommend meeting more than once a week to provide greater support, maintain momentum, and deepen our work together. Research shows that increased frequency can accelerate progress, strengthen the therapeutic relationship, and help you integrate insights more effectively between sessions. In psychodynamic and psychoanalytic therapy, meeting more often also creates a richer space for exploring emotions, patterns, and underlying dynamics—allowing for more sustained growth and change.

What is your cancellation policy?

There is a 24-Hour cancellation policy (excluding weekends and holidays). If a cancellation occurs within 24 hours, you are responsible for the full fee of the session. Please note that your health insurance does not reimburse you for cancellations.

Do you accept insurance?

I am an out-of-network provider. This means that your insurance company will cover a portion of the fee. The portion is dictated by your insurance plan. I will provide you with paperwork for your insurance company so you're able to obtain out-of-network reimbursement.

Please check with your insurance company prior to sessions to confirm your out-of-network coverage for outpatient behavioral health. The CPT code you may be asked to provide is 90834. Your insurance company will confirm if you have met your deductible and the amount for your co-insurance (your portion of the payment).

Being an out-of-network provider means I get to spend more time focused on each person. It also serves to protect confidential information from being shared with insurance companies.

What can I expect from the consultation process?

For adults, I offer two consultation sessions, each lasting 45 minutes. I focus on understanding your needs and goals for therapy. Throughout the consultation process, I aim to gain a comprehensive understanding of your current challenges, family history, relationships, and any previous therapy experiences. After the consultation, I will provide feedback on any themes or patterns that have emerged and offer recommendations for treatment moving forward

For children and adolescents, the consultation process begins with an initial 45-minute parent session, where we discuss your current concerns as well as your child or adolescent’s developmental history. This is followed by two consultation sessions with your child. A final parent session is then held to share my observations and impressions. Together, we will discuss treatment recommendations and determine a plan that best supports your child or teen.

How long will therapy take?

How long treatment lasts varies for each person and is shaped by factors such as the nature of your concerns, how long they have been present, and how often we meet.

What is your approach?

I take a collaborative, non-judgmental approach to therapy, grounded in deep respect, curiosity, and a commitment to understanding your unique story. My work is rooted in psychodynamic and relational perspectives, which together help uncover the deeper layers of your emotional life and relationships.

Psychodynamic therapy supports you in gaining insight into the feelings, beliefs, and patterns, often unconscious, that shape how you think, feel, and act. By bringing these dynamics into awareness, you can create lasting change, make more intentional choices, and live in ways that align more closely with your values and goals.

Through a relational lens, we explore how your relationships, past and present, have influenced your sense of self and your connections with others. This includes looking at family, romantic, professional, and social relationships, while also considering the impact of factors such as race, class, culture, gender, and other aspects of identity. Together, we work to recognize and shift patterns that no longer serve you, while building healthier, more fulfilling ways of relating to yourself and the world.
