FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)

What types of therapy do you offer?

I specialize in trauma-informed approaches including Attachment-focused EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples. I also integrate mindfulness-based techniques to help with anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Do you offer online therapy or only in-person sessions?

I offer both in-person therapy at my Montclair, NJ office and secure online sessions for clients throughout New Jersey and New York. Online therapy is a great option if you have scheduling constraints, prefer the comfort of your home, or live outside the Montclair area.

What issues do you specialize in treating?

I work with clients experiencing:

  • Anxiety and panic attacks

  • Relationship challenges and couples counseling

  • Trauma and PTSD

  • Infertility and pregnancy loss

  • Postpartum depression and anxiety

  • Life transitions and identity exploration

Do you accept insurance?

I do not accept insurance. I’m an out-of-network provider and can provide superbills for reimbursement with out-of-network benefits.

How long are therapy sessions?

Therapy sessions are typically 45 minutes. Sometimes 60 minutes are a better fit so that is also an option that we would figure out together. The frequency of sessions depends on your needs—most clients start with weekly sessions and may adjust to biweekly as progress is made.

What should I expect in the first session?

The first session is an opportunity to share what brings you to therapy and ask questions about my approach. We'll discuss your goals, relevant history, and determine if we're a good fit. There's no pressure to commit after the first session—finding the right therapist is important.

What is Attachment-focused EMDR therapy and who is it good for?

Attachment-focused EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a specialized treatment particularly effective for complex trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and phobias. It helps your brain reprocess difficult memories so they're less emotionally overwhelming. Many clients find relief faster with Attachment-focused EMDR than traditional talk therapy alone.

Do you offer a free consultation?

Yes, I offer a free 15-minute phone or video consultation to discuss your needs and answer any questions about therapy. This helps us both determine if my approach is a good match for what you're looking for.

Are you accepting new clients?

I have limited availability but am accepting clients depending on day/time they need to be seen. I also maintain a waitlist.
