About my practice
Many factors shape our struggles and lead to emotional pain — relationship dynamics, major life transitions, and the slow ways we lose connection with ourselves. I help you gently discover what lies beneath that pain, build awareness, and reconnect with clarity, so you can find the answers that create space for a life that feels more peaceful and aligned.
Why me
I bring both clinical and life experience to this work. After the unexpected end of my 37‑year marriage, I found myself asking, “What is a good or healthy relationship?” That question shaped both my personal healing and my professional focus.
Over the past decade, I’ve studied and applied research on relationships, life transitions, and emotional recovery — in my own life and in my work with clients. I use that knowledge to help others move through their emotional pain with clarity, grounding, and compassion.
Who I work with
I work with adults who feel stuck in their relationships, identity, or life direction and know something needs to shift. Many notice choices or patterns they can’t fully explain — overfunctioning, people‑pleasing, losing themselves in relationships, or carrying the emotional weight for everyone else.
You might find yourself thinking things like:
- “How did my life end up here?"
- "I have to start taking better care of myself."
- "Something feels off, but I can't name it."
- "Why do I see the same patterns that continue to hurt?"
- “I’m exhausted from being the strong one.”
A core part of this work is strengthening your relationship with yourself, because clarity in your relationships and life direction starts with clarity inside.
I support people moving through major transitions — the end of a long relationship, a shift in identity, or the desire to break old relational patterns. You don’t need to have the answers; you just need a willingness to look at what’s happening and take the next step.
My approach
I’m an open‑minded and curious therapist who creates space for you to explore what truly works for you. My style is direct when it’s helpful, yet warm, approachable, and non‑judgmental.
Clients appreciate this balance of clarity and compassion because they value their time and want meaningful movement/change in the areas that cause emotional pain.
Client portal-Telehealth-Ny/fl
- I provide therapy exclusively through telehealth for clients in New York and Florida. All of our work happens through a secure, HIPAA‑compliant portal called CounSol, where your messages, billing, forms, scheduling, and video sessions are all in one private place.
- For the past four years, I’ve practiced entirely through telehealth, and clients consistently tell me they appreciate how convenient, effective, and easy it is to fit into their lives.
MEDICATION MANAGEMENT
Can be helpful when indicated, especially when working through a challenging situation/transition(s). This service is outsourced to different providers. I offer collaborative care with those providers when requested or as a part of a treatment plan.
Private pay- no insurance- Why
Private pay- no insurance
I am a private‑pay practice, so fees are paid in full at the time of service through CounSol.
Why I do not take insurance
Insurance companies can dictate the terms of treatment, the types of therapy provided, and the length or frequency of sessions. They also require a mental health diagnosis and may request access to your records, which can compromise your privacy in ways many clients aren’t aware of.
.
By working privately, you have:
• More privacy — your information stays between us, not in an insurance database
• More choice — we decide together what you need, not a third party
• More flexibility — we can work at the pace and depth that feels right for you
• More alignment — no required diagnosis if it doesn’t fit your situation
This approach allows me to offer therapy that is grounded, thoughtful, and tailored to your specific needs—not constrained by insurance limitations.
Insurance option: client's responsibility
You may be eligible for out-of-network reimbursement for your therapy sessions. It will be your responsibility to check with your insurance carrier to determine whether you qualify, and I recommend obtaining a letter confirming this.
Session charges:
Regular sessions- 60 minutes $150
Initial intake- 90 minutes $170
Intensive 2-hour sessions when agreed upon by both therapist and client
