I do not accept insurance at this current time. I strive to make therapy more affordable, however. please view the “services and fees” tab for more information regarding options for care.

I do not prescribe medications.

I certainly think so! therapy can be helpful to anyone who feels ready for it. some people seek therapy to reach specific goals for their mental health. others may seek therapy to process a challenging/difficult time. the fun thing is: therapy is really what you decide to make of it.

I meet with clients via telehealth (virtually) in a HIPAA-compliant platform. in our online meeting, you will want to make sure that you are somewhere quiet, with good internet connection, and isolated from others. you may even consider wearing earphones during our session. your privacy is important!

one of the beautiful things about therapy is that it is confidential. everything that you share (with a few exceptions - ie. personal safety) is kept private.

depending on the schedule that we decide on together, we may meet once a week or bi-weekly for 1 hour. therapy is more effective when it is consistent.
every session might look a little different - and that is okay! there will be days where you might have a lot on your mind. there will be other days where there’s less going on. I’ll meet you exactly where you happen to be. -
when we meet for a session, it’s important that you are in a private, undisturbed location. because of pennsylvania law, it is also imperative that you are in pennsylvania when we meet virtually.

as much as I would love to be your therapist, I understand how important it is to have the right fit!
you may consider a number of different characteristics when choosing a therapist: age, sexual orientation, race/ethnicity, gender identity, specialization, etc. if possible, it might be helpful to schedule a consultation with a potential therapist of interest before making a final decision about your care.

generally speaking, therapy can end and begin at just about any time. it can last for months. it can last for years. the duration of therapy is dependent on your individual needs/desires. of course, when the time comes, we can explore options for ending our time together.
