Frequently Asked Questions

After working in the wellness industry for many years, I went back to school to get my master’s degree in social work. I then trained for four years in psychoanalysis and couples therapy at an institute in New York City. I have since worked as a clinician in nonprofit clinical settings. I have a private practice and I see individuals and couples with a wide range of life issues.

No less than once a week and more optimally twice a week.

I use a hybrid method based on the patient’s preferences. I prefer to use Doxy for virtual sessions and see patients in person at my office, located on 96th Street.

Cancellations must be made 24 hours in advance of your scheduled appointment. Your appointment time is reserved for you and we appreciate as much notice as possible to offer the time to someone else.

If appointments are canceled with less than 24 hours notice, the full fee will be charged.

An initial 45-minute consultation is $120. Regular 45-minute sessions start at $150.

I accept out-of-pocket, UnitedHealthcare, Oxford Health Plans, Aetna, and Oscar.

In the initial intake, I will ask questions about your childhood, family, relationships, and work history. We will briefly cover the history, if any, of substance use. The remainder of the session will be focused on your mental health history and what brought you to seek therapy at this time. After our initial session, you will take the lead and we will explore whatever you bring to our sessions. I do not generally assign homework but I am open to doing so if it feels helpful for your process.
