HOW GETTING STARTED WORKS
Step 1: Reach out
Fill out the contact form below or send me an email. Sharing a sentence or two about what brings you here is completely sufficient. You do not need to send detailed personal information.
Step 2: Connect for a 15 minute phone call
We will speak by phone at no charge and with no obligation. You can share what you are going through, I will explain how I work, and together we will decide if my practice is the right fit for your needs. If another therapist or resource would serve you better, I will let you know and help guide you in the right direction.
Step 3: Schedule your first appointment
If we decide to work together, we will select a session time that fits your schedule.

Virtual sessions across New York State

SUPPORT ANYWHERE IN NEW YORK
VIRTUAL THERAPY ACROSS NEW YORK STATE
My practice is entirely virtual, which means no commuting, no waiting rooms, and no navigating traffic or childcare arrangements to get to an office.
To meet with me, you simply need a private space, a computer or phone with a camera, and to be physically located in New York State at the time of our session.
For new mothers, having a therapy session while the baby sleeps is often what makes getting support possible.
SERVING ALL OF NEW YORK STATE
I serve clients throughout New York State with a high concentration of women and couples in Manhattan, Westchester and Long Island.
QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU REACH OUT
Do I need a doctor referral to contact you?
No. You can reach out directly at any time. If you plan to seek out-of-network reimbursement from your health insurance, your specific plan may have its own requirements, which you can verify with them directly.
How soon can I schedule a consultation call?
I respond to inquiry messages the same or next business day, and we can usually schedule our 15 minute phone call within a few days. Session availability depends on my schedule at the time, and we will discuss current openings on our call.
Can I book my first session directly online?
No, and that is a deliberate choice. Starting with a free phone consultation ensures we can confirm my practice is the right fit for your specific situation before you book.
What if I am not sure therapy is the right choice for me yet?
Uncertainty is completely normal, and the phone call carries no fee and no obligation. You can use the consultation to ask questions and decide on your next steps at your own pace.
