During a session, you can expect a compassionate, non-judgmental environment where we work collaboratively on your concerns. Our time together is a space for personal growth, healing, and building skills to better navigate life's challenges.

Yes. As a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), I adhere to strict professional and ethical guidelines that protect your privacy. What you share in therapy is kept confidential.

There are, however, a few legally mandated exceptions to confidentiality. If you express that you are at risk of harming yourself or someone else, I am required to take steps to ensure safety. This may include involving emergency services or contacting a trusted support person—but whenever possible, we will discuss this together and create a plan collaboratively.

Therapy outcomes are generally strongest when sessions occur on a consistent, weekly basis. When sessions are spaced too far apart, it can be harder to stay connected to the work, and you may find it takes longer to settle back in—especially after a break or time away.

Weekly sessions are typically recommended at the start of therapy. During times of heightened stress or emotional difficulty, we may meet more frequently to provide additional support. As things stabilize, some clients choose to shift to biweekly sessions to maintain progress at a more flexible pace. We’ll collaborate to find a rhythm that works best for you.

I offer therapy sessions in person or remotely through a secure, confidential online platform. All sessions are conducted in a safe, welcoming environment, and I provide flexible hours including mornings, evenings, and weekends.

Individual Sessions: 50 minutes unless otherwise arranged (half and double sessions available).

Group Sessions: 90 minutes.

Rates:

• Individual Therapy: $165 per 50-minute session.

• Group Therapy: $60 per 90-minute session.

I am an out-of-network (OON) provider and operate on a fee-for-service basis, meaning clients pay for each session directly. I accept various payment methods, including credit/debit cards, health savings accounts (HSAs)/flexible spending account (FSAs), Venmo, checks, or cash.

I am licensed to provide therapy to clients located in Pennsylvania.

If you need to cancel or reschedule a session, I ask for a minimum of 48 hours’ notice to avoid being charged for the cost of session.

Consistency and momentum are key components of effective therapy. For this reason, I encourage clients to prioritize regular attendance and communicate in advance if scheduling changes are needed. If we need to adjust the frequency of sessions, we can collaborate on a plan that supports your goals.

I am an out-of-network (OON) provider and operate on a fee-for-service basis, meaning clients pay for each session directly. Many clients have out-of-network benefits for mental health services. I encourage you to call the number on the back of your insurance card and ask the following questions:

• Does my plan include out-of-network coverage for mental health services?

• What is my annual deductible for mental health benefits?

• What is my co-insurance (i.e., what percentage will the plan cover)?

• Is there a limit to how many sessions are covered each year?

In general, HMO plans do not offer out-of-network coverage, while PPO plans may provide some benefits, depending on your insurance provider.

I can provide you with superbills (monthly statements) for you to submit to your insurance for reimbursement.

I am unable to prescribe medication. However, I can provide referrals or recommendations for psychiatrists and nurse practitioners in the area if medication management is needed.

Therapy isn’t meant to last forever—it’s a supportive space to help you develop tools, insight, and resilience to navigate life more effectively. The length of therapy depends on your unique needs, goals, and the issues you're working through.

Some clients work with me for a few months to address a specific concern, while others engage in longer-term therapy for ongoing personal growth. We’ll regularly review your progress and goals to ensure that therapy remains meaningful and productive. Some clients also take breaks when they feel grounded and return when new challenges arise.

Whether you're starting fresh or returning after some time away, you're always welcome back.

There’s no one “right” way to feel after therapy—everyone responds differently, and your reactions may even vary from session to session. Some people leave feeling lighter, clearer, or more energized. Others may feel emotionally drained, overwhelmed, or even temporarily worse as difficult topics come to the surface.

All of these responses are normal. Processing emotions and making meaningful change takes work, and it’s okay if that work stirs up strong feelings. Whatever comes up, we’ll work through it together.

Yes, feeling bored or wondering “what now?” after a few months in therapy is completely normal. Therapy often begins with storytelling—sharing your history, building trust, and establishing a connection with your therapist. Once that initial phase settles, it’s not uncommon to feel a shift in energy or even some restlessness.

Rather than seeing boredom as a sign that something’s wrong, it can actually be an invitation to go deeper. Naming your boredom or frustration in session can open up new insights and help uncover what’s beneath the surface. Often, this is the stage where the real work begins—when deeper patterns, emotions, and breakthroughs can start to emerge.

I primarily work with individuals aged 13 and older. However, I am open to working with younger clients on a case-by-case basis, depending on the unique circumstances and needs.

Yes! Group therapy provides a supportive, growth-oriented space to explore challenges, connect with others, and practice new ways of relating. It can be especially helpful for building insight, communication skills, and a sense of belonging. Groups may be open (with rotating members) or closed (with the same members throughout), depending on the format and goals. Sessions are typically 90 minutes long, and group therapy can also be a more affordable alternative to individual therapy.

Groups run based on interest and availability. If you're curious about current or upcoming offerings, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to add you to the waitlist or let you know what’s in development.

Group therapy offers a unique opportunity to connect with others who are facing similar challenges. It can help reduce feelings of isolation, provide multiple perspectives on your struggles, and offer a supportive environment to practice new skills. Many people find that hearing others’ stories helps them feel understood and less alone. It’s also a cost-effective option compared to individual therapy and can complement one-on-one work by reinforcing insights in a group setting.

If you’re facing an emergency outside of our scheduled sessions, please reach out to me directly to communicate what’s going on and I will respond as soon as I am able. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, please seek help right away by:

• Going to the nearest emergency room

• Calling 911

• Reaching out via call/text to 988 to connect with the Suicide Prevention Hotline, available 24/7

• Texting HOME to 741-741 for confidential text support, available 24/7
