A Collaborative Path Toward Growth

Therapy is a collaborative, supportive process designed to foster healing, empowerment, and personal growth.

Each person is met with warmth, evidence-based care, and a deep belief in their capacity to thrive.

Each therapy journey is personalized, blending a range of proven approaches to meet individual needs:

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT):
Practical tools to manage thoughts, emotions, and behaviors for lasting change.

Psychodynamic Therapy:
Insight-oriented exploration of underlying patterns and relationships influencing current experiences.

Strength-Based and Biopsychosocial Perspectives:
Honoring the complexity of the whole person — mind, body, environment, and spirit.

Executive Functioning Skills Training:
Learn and strengthen essential skills like task initiation, organization, time management, planning, and prioritization. Develop strategies to manage procrastination and apply techniques between sessions to support daily functioning and long-term goals.

How to get started with therapy

I’m committed to making therapy as accessible and convenient as possible.

You can move forward in whichever way works best for you—whether that’s through private pay, health insurance coverage, or out-of-network benefits.

Review the options below.

1 / Private Pay for Flexibility and Control

If you prefer the flexibility of private pay, this option allows you more control over your care. Private pay offers fewer restrictions, greater confidentiality, and the ability to schedule without insurance-related limitations.

Private pay also gives you the freedom to choose the best care plan for you, and I can work with you to ensure you get the support you need. With this option, I offer online payment process for clients who prioritize autonomy and convenience.

Fees:

Initial Consult-15 minutes: Free

Intake Assessment Session: $180

Follow up Sessions (45-60 minutes): $130

2 / Using Insurance through Headway

I currently accept the following insurance plans:

Aetna
Anthem BCBS Connecticut
Anthem BCBS NY (formerly Empire)
Anthem EAP - Bank of America
BCBS of Massachusetts (Virtual)
Carelon Behavioral Health
Cigna and Evernorth
Independence Blue Cross
Oscar (Optum)
Oxford (Optum)
Quest Behavioral Health
United Healthcare (Optum)
United Healthcare Medicare Advantage

If your plan is listed, you can easily check that you are in network to see me on Headway. Headway works directly with your insurance to make sure billing is smooth and stress-free.

3 / Using Out-of-Network Benefits with Thrizer

I also work with Thrizer for clients who have out-of-network benefits. If your insurance plan isn’t listed, you may still have coverage through out-of-network benefits, which can reimburse a portion of our session cost.

With Thrizer, I’ve streamlined the process for you. You’ll only pay a copay upfront (instead of paying my full fee and waiting for reimbursement), making it easier and faster to access care. On average, clients save around 70% on their session fees with this option.
