Questions about getting started

Yes — everything is via telehealth. No commute, no waiting room, no arranging childcare. You can do this from your car, your bedroom, wherever works.

I'm licensed in New York and Massachusetts, and I have telehealth availability in Florida and South Carolina. You just need to be physically located in one of those states when we meet.

I accept select insurance plans and also work with private pay clients. If you have out-of-network benefits, I can support you through Thrizer — a platform that handles the reimbursement process so you don't have to chase your insurance company. Reach out directly and we'll figure out what makes sense for your situation.

Thrizer is a payment platform that automatically submits out-of-network claims to your insurance on your behalf. For a small fee, they handle all the back and forth and once your deductible is met, you get reimbursed directly. It takes most of the hassle out of using out-of-network benefits.

It's not just "being a worried new mom." Postpartum anxiety is a real clinical condition — excessive worry that won't turn off, racing thoughts, hypervigilance, irritability, physical tension. It's one of the most common postpartum experiences, and it's very treatable. A lot of women suffer through it longer than they need to because they don't realize what they're dealing with has a name.

Yes — please don't wait. Anxiety during pregnancy is just as real and just as worth treating as anxiety after birth. Getting support before the baby arrives can actually make the postpartum transition significantly easier. You don't have to be in crisis. You don't have to hit a wall first.

More common than you think and not a sign that something is wrong with you. Intrusive thoughts during pregnancy and postpartum are a feature of anxiety, not a reflection of your character or your intentions. The fact that they scare you is actually evidence that they're ego-dystonic — meaning they go against who you are. With the right treatment, including ERP, they're very manageable.

If it's interfering with your sleep, your relationships, your ability to be present, that's enough. You don't have to be falling apart. You don't have to have a diagnosis. If something feels off and it's been off for a while, that's reason enough to reach out.

Regular sessions are 45 minutes. Your first appointment, the intake, is 60 minutes.

Yes. If your birth experience left you shaken — scared, out of control, unheard, or just not what you expected — that deserves real attention. A lot of women minimize what happened to them because the baby is healthy. The baby being healthy doesn't mean you're fine or that your experience was any less traumatic.
