Frequently Asked Questions

Therapy is a space where you can talk openly about what you're going through without feeling judged. My approach is supportive, collaborative, and solution-focused. We'll work together to better understand what you're experiencing, identify patterns that may be contributing to how you feel, and develop tools to help you move forward.

Finding a therapist you feel comfortable with is important. I believe the relationship between a therapist and client is one of the most important parts of therapy. We can start with a brief phone conversation to discuss what brings you to therapy, what you're hoping to work on, and whether I might be a good fit.

My main area of expertise is perinatal mental health. I work with women navigating fertility challenges, high-risk pregnancies, pregnancy loss, and postpartum anxiety and depression.

I also work with college-age students, parents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and life transitions.

Not at all. Many people come to therapy because they're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or simply not like themselves. You don't need to wait until things feel unmanageable to ask for support.

Sessions are typically 45–50 minutes. Most clients begin with weekly sessions, but we can discuss a schedule that works best based on your needs and goals.

Yes. I offer telehealth sessions for clients located in Connecticut and New York. Virtual therapy allows you to meet from the comfort and privacy of your own space and can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.

Please contact me to discuss fees, insurance, and payment options. If you have out-of-network mental health benefits, you may be eligible for reimbursement through your insurance plan.

There's no one-size-fits-all answer. Some people come to therapy to work through a specific situation, while others benefit from longer-term support. We'll regularly check in about your goals and progress and make decisions together about what feels helpful.

It's completely normal to feel nervous or unsure about starting therapy. You don't need to know exactly what to say or where to begin. We'll take things at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

No. As a licensed clinical social worker, I do not prescribe medication. However, if medication is something you'd like to explore, I can help connect you with a psychiatrist or another qualified medical provider.

You can reach out by email or phone number for an initial conversation. We'll discuss what you're looking for and determine the next steps.

Therapy is not an emergency service. If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or call 911. If you are pregnant or a new parent, you can also call or text the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA (1-833-852-6262), free and available 24/7.
