Frequently asked questions

Do you accept insurance?

I’m in network with Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, and UnitedHealthcare/Optum. Coverage depends on your specific plan, including any deductible, copay, or coinsurance. We can confirm network and benefit details before scheduling.

What is your self-pay rate?

The initial intake session is $250. Ongoing sessions are $150 and typically last 55 minutes. You’re welcome to contact me with questions about payment options before getting started.

Do you offer a sliding scale?

Yes, sliding scale options are available. If the standard fee would make therapy difficult to access, please reach out so we can discuss an arrangement that may work for you.

Can I use out-of-network benefits?

If I’m not in network with your insurance, I can provide a superbill—a detailed receipt you can submit to your insurer for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

Reimbursement depends on your plan and isn’t guaranteed. You’re responsible for paying the session fee, and any eligible reimbursement comes from your insurer. Before starting, ask your insurance company about out-of-network coverage for virtual therapy, your deductible, and how to submit a superbill.

Where do you offer therapy?

All sessions are held virtually. You must be physically located in New Jersey or Florida at the time of your appointment.

Who do you work with?

I work with teens and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, disordered eating, substance use concerns, and life transitions. I’m especially drawn to working with people navigating relational trauma, attachment difficulties, and patterns they understand intellectually but still struggle to change.

What if I don’t know exactly what I need help with?

You don’t need a diagnosis or a perfectly organized explanation to begin. We can start with what feels difficult, what keeps showing up in your life, or what you’d like to feel different.

What if I’ve tried therapy before?

You’re welcome here whether therapy is new to you or you’ve worked with other therapists. We can talk about what helped, what felt missing, and what you’re hoping for now—including when previous therapy increased your understanding but you still feel stuck.

What happens in the first session?

The first session is a chance to get to know each other, discuss what brings you to therapy, and explore relevant background and goals. We’ll also review confidentiality, practice policies, and any questions you have. You don’t have to share everything at once.
