My approach stems from the understanding that we are relational beings, and that mental health challenges are exacerbated by isolation from ourselves, from others, and from nature.

My approach is also strengths-based and critical of oppressive systems. Together we can examine all of the factors that contribute to your current condition, and help remind you of your power within and around you.

Finally, my approach is trauma-informed and highly adaptable. Depending on the client and their needs, I could incorporate tools and strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), exposure and response prevention (ERP), play therapy, music, art, movement, and nature.

I am currently in-network with Aetna, Optum (United Health), and Northwell Direct.

For clients who do not have plans with these insurers or who prefer to pay privately, my self-pay rate per 53-60 minute session is $150.

**If you are an uninsured or self-pay client, then you have the right to request a good faith estimate of expected charges prior to receiving services.

In my practice I try, to the best of my ability, to use platforms that care about privacy and security as much as I do, and I avoid using platforms motivated by greed and exploitation. I use ProtonMail for encrypted email, and I use HIPAAtherapy for keeping electronic health records and hosting virtual sessions (you can read more about them and their no-AI stance here).
