Frequently Asked Questions

  • Therapy can be a transformative experience, especially if you're dealing with trauma, dissociation, emotional abuse, or relationship and boundary issues. Therapy can help you:

    • Process and heal from traumatic experiences.

    • Understand and manage dissociative symptoms.

    • Rebuild self-esteem and confidence after emotional abuse.

    • Develop healthy boundaries in relationships.

    • Improve communication and interpersonal skills.

    • Foster personal growth and resilience

    Working with a therapist can give you the resources and insights to navigate challenges and enhance your overall well-being.

  • The type of therapy most beneficial for you depends on your unique circumstances and goals. As a therapist specializing in trauma, dissociation, emotional abuse, and relationship and boundary issues, I offer several evidence-based approaches, including:

    • Trauma-Focused Therapy: To help you process and heal from traumatic experiences.

    • Attachment-Based Therapy: To explore and heal relationship dynamics and attachment issues.

    • Parts-work therapy: To explore, understand, and identify different aspects of yourself to foster understanding and internal harmony.

    • Somatic Therapy: To focus on the connection between the mind and body, addressing the physical manifestations of trauma and stress.

    • Expressive Arts Therapy: To use creative expression as a means of exploring and processing emotions, promoting healing and self-discovery through art, music, and movement.

    • Relational Therapy: To improve interpersonal relationships and understand how past relationships influence present ones.

    • Psychodynamic Therapy: To explore unconscious patterns and how they affect current behavior and relationships.

    • Strengths-Based Therapy: To leverage your inherent strengths and resources, empowering you to overcome challenges and achieve your goals.

    During our beginning sessions, we will discuss your history, current challenges, and therapy goals to determine the best approach for your needs. We can create a plan to support your healing and growth.

  • I specialize in working with adults aged 18 and older, focusing on trauma and dissociation, relationships and boundaries, and emotional abuse. I don’t offer couples therapy or work with individuals who are currently experiencing extreme physical or emotional abuse or who are harming others. I offer therapy (online or in-person) to individuals residing in New York. Feel free to schedule a complimentary consultation to see if I'm the right fit for your needs.

  • Sessions are typically 45-50 minutes, once a week. If you are interested in longer or more frequent sessions, please get in touch with me about availability.

  • I do not take insurance. I can give you a "superbill" for possible reimbursement for out-of-network (OON) benefits. If you are interested in using OON benefits please check with your insurance company regarding your coverage.

  • Yes, all information shared in sessions is kept strictly confidential and will not be disclosed without your written consent. However, there are specific legal exceptions, including:

    • Suspected child or elder abuse

    • Intent to harm oneself or others

    • Court-issued subpoenas

  • My current fee is $185 for a 45-50 minute session,

  • All sliding fee slots are full, and I do not expect any to open soon. For lower-cost therapy options, I recommend Open Path Collective.

  • I ask that you cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours in advance. You will be responsible for the entire fee if a cancellation is made less than 24 hours in advance. If we are unable to reschedule the session that week (one reason is that I may not have openings), you will be charged. This is necessary because a time is reserved for you and our work together.

  • My office is centrally located in Beacon, NY, just a few blocks from Main Street, with a beautiful view of Mount Beacon. I will provide the exact address when we schedule our first session..

  • That is a great question! You can use this link to self-schedule a free 20-minute video consultation. Please feel free to e-mail or call me if you have any other questions or concerns. If we decide to move ahead and schedule a first appointment after the consultation, I will give you a password to access the client paperwork page on this website. (It is at the bottom of the get in touch webpage.) I ask that you fill out the paperwork online and sign it electronically before our first appointment.
