Who you would be talking to

Questions people ask first

FAQ

Do you accept insurance?

In-network with Lyra and Modern Health. For other insurance, I'm an out-of-network provider. I can give you a monthly superbill to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Check with your carrier about your out-of-network benefits first.

Do you see clients in person or online?

All sessions are online, through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. I don't currently offer in-person sessions.

Where are you licensed to practice?

I'm licensed in California and New York, and can work with clients anywhere in either state through telehealth.

What happens in a first session?

We start with a free 20-minute phone consultation to see if we're a good fit. If we move forward, your first full session is where we start learning about your journey and mapping out what you want your direction to be.

What does therapy cost?

Individual sessions are $200 for a 50-minute session. See full fees & insurance details →
