Commitment

Therapy is an investment of time, energy, and money.

It is a commitment you make to yourself and your therapist to continue showing up and working on your wellbeing.

As your therapist, I dedicate time to think about your goals and progress, I take notes to document our sessions, I may send you monthly superbills, and I share resources with you that I think you may find helpful.

Even when we’re not meeting, I think about you and your life.

Therapy is a very real relationship. It just looks a bit different from your other relationships. That being said, creating a strong therapeutic relationship can help you strengthen and create other meaningful relationships.

Fee Schedule

My standard session rate is $350 for 45 minutes.

Most clients attend sessions on a weekly basis. Sometimes twice a week, sometimes every other week. It depends on your individual treatment goals. I recommend looking into your insurance benefits to see if they cover out-of-network providers (this would mean that you pay for your sessions directly and your insurance company may then reimburse you separately).

Experience

I have been offering therapy services for over a decade (including graduate training), and have been fully licensed for five years. I worked in two different group practices in Manhattan prior to starting my own. During this time I refined my skills in treating working professionals who struggle with different types of stress and anxiety, and received specialized training and supervision in treating OCD. I am constantly taking additional workshops and trainings, reading books, consulting with colleagues, and meeting with my own therapists and coaches as needed to enhance my skills.

I love supporting ambitious clients who value their mental health and wellbeing and understand that they have the power and responsibility to create change in their lives.

Many of my clients are millennial women who are driven, focused, and often perfectionistic. They tend to be really hard on themselves and set high standards. They also tend to overgive, people-please, and have a hard time setting boundaries that prioritize their own needs.

A lot of my clients also grew up in homes where their emotions weren’t given much attention. It doesn’t mean they weren’t loved or taken care of, but it does mean that they may have felt neglected, isolated, left out, empty, or not good enough, which often contributes to their present-day problems.

The reason I’m sharing this information is because if you resonate with the above, then we may be a good fit in treatment, which would make this a “good investment.” However, if you have different needs, are looking for different kinds of support with other types of concerns or issues, then we may not be a good fit, in which case this may not be the best investment for you.

Service

I use evidence-based strategies that have incredible results that my clients are frequently in awe of - because they’re pretty simple when you understand how they work. My approach is strongly rooted in mindfulness and positive psychology. We work collaboratively to leverage your strengths and create a life you love.

I am also very intuitive and can often sense where a client needs to go or the questions they need to answer to get to their goals faster. However, you are the expert on your life. As your therapist, I don’t give advice or tell you what to do, but I do present you with different options, alternative perspectives, and help you decide what choices make the most sense for you.

Clients often tell me that they feel like I can read their minds, like I understand exactly what they’ve been through or what they’re experiencing, and like I give them exactly what they need when they need it.

I put a lot of thought and dedication into my work with clients and respect them deeply. The clients who fully commit to the work are the ones who get the most out of it.
