Questions about getting started

Yes — all sessions are held via secure telehealth video. There is no in-person option, which means you can access support from the comfort of your own home, without arranging childcare or commuting.

I am licensed to provide therapy to clients located in New York and Massachusetts. I also have telehealth availability in Florida and South Carolina. You must be physically located in one of these states at the time of your session.

I accept select insurance plans and also offer private pay options. For clients with out-of-network benefits, I can support you through Thrizer to simplify reimbursement. Please reach out directly to discuss your insurance situation.

Thrizer is a payment platform that will automatically submit out-of-network claims to your insurance. For a small fee, Thrizer takes care of all the back and forth with insurance and gets you reimbursed once your deductible is met.

Postpartum anxiety is a common perinatal mood disorder characterized by excessive worry, racing thoughts, hyper-vigilance, irritability, and physical symptoms of anxiety following childbirth. It is highly treatable with specialized therapy.

Absolutely. Prenatal anxiety is extremely common and equally valid. Early support during pregnancy can be one of the most effective ways to protect your mental health into the postpartum period. You don't have to wait.

Yes — intrusive, unwanted thoughts are very common during pregnancy and postpartum, and they are not a sign that you are dangerous or a bad mother. Intrusive thoughts are a feature of anxiety and OCD, not a reflection of your intentions or character. With the right treatment they are very manageable.

If anxiety, worry, intrusive thoughts, overwhelm, or a sense of feeling unlike yourself is interfering with your daily life, your relationships, or your ability to enjoy this season — that is reason enough to reach out. You do not have to be in crisis to deserve support.

Standard individual psychotherapy sessions are 45 minutes. The initial assessment session is 60 minutes.

Yes. I provide trauma-informed therapy for women processing difficult, frightening, or unexpected birth experiences. If your birth left you feeling scared, out of control, or unheard — therapy can help.
