Yes. I’m an in-network provider (through Alma) with the following insurance companies: United Health, Oxford Health Plans, Cigna, Aetna, UMR, Oscar, UHC Student Resources, AllSavers UHC, Meritain, Nippon, United Healthcare Shared Services, Allied Benefit Systems–Aetna, Surest (formerly Bind), Health Plans Inc., and United Healthcare Global.

It’s completely understandable to have financial concerns about therapy. We’ll talk openly about your goals, session frequency, and what fits your budget. Many women find that short-term online therapy for anxiety and depression helps them make meaningful progress without long-term commitment. Together, we’ll design a plan that feels both supportive and sustainable.
-
Everyone’s journey is unique, but many clients begin noticing small improvements—like reduced anxiety, better sleep, or clearer thinking—within a few weeks. With consistent effort, most women experience significant relief and progress within three to six months of online therapy.

You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. If you’ve been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck, therapy can help you regain clarity and control.
Many of my clients are busy women navigating stress, relationships, or perfectionism—not necessarily severe disorders. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to help you determine whether therapy is the right next step for you.

Yes, what you talk about in therapy remains confidential. Confidentiality is a fundamental and essential aspect of the therapeutic process. As a therapist, I am bound by ethical and legal obligations to keep all information shared during therapy sessions confidential. This means that I will not disclose any information about you or your therapy sessions to anyone without your explicit permission.
However, there are some essential exceptions to confidentiality, which are standard in the field of therapy:
Harm to Self or Others: If you express intentions to harm yourself or others, I am required to take appropriate action to ensure your safety or the safety of others. This may involve notifying emergency services or relevant individuals who can help prevent harm.
Child/Elder Abuse: If there is suspicion or evidence of child abuse, elder abuse, or vulnerable adult abuse, I am legally obligated to report it to the appropriate authorities to ensure the protection and well-being of those involved.
Court Orders: In rare circumstances, a court order may require the disclosure of certain information. However, I will make every effort to discuss this with you beforehand and keep you informed throughout the process.
Supervision and Consultation: As a therapist, I may consult with other professionals or supervisors to ensure the quality of therapy provided. However, your identity and personal information will be kept anonymous during such consultations.
It's important to know that my primary focus is on creating a safe and confidential space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and concerns without fear of judgment or repercussions. Trust is an integral part of the therapeutic relationship, and I am committed to upholding confidentiality to foster that trust.
If you have any specific questions or concerns about confidentiality or any other aspect of therapy, please feel free to discuss them with me during our sessions. Your comfort and peace of mind are paramount, and I'm here to support you in your therapeutic journey.

Your first session is all about getting to know you and understanding what brought you to therapy. We’ll talk about your goals, challenges, and what you hope to change. I’ll explain how online therapy works, answer any questions, and begin creating a plan tailored to your needs. Many clients say they leave the first session feeling hopeful and relieved to have taken the first step.
-
I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and a transdiagnostic approach—meaning we focus on the root causes that often link anxiety and depression, such as perfectionism or self-criticism. I also integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you build new habits of thought and behavior. All treatment is evidence-based, compassionate, and personalized to your goals.
-
Yes. Research consistently shows that online therapy is just as effective as in-person sessions for treating anxiety and depression. You’ll receive the same level of connection, guidance, and evidence-based support—all from the comfort and privacy of your own space. Many clients appreciate how virtual sessions fit seamlessly into their busy schedules.
-
Most clients begin with weekly sessions to build momentum and consistency. As you start feeling more confident and notice improvements, we may move to sessions every other week or monthly check-ins. Together, we’ll create a schedule that supports your progress and fits your lifestyle.
-
Scheduling is simple and flexible. You can book your free 15-minute consultation or regular sessions directly through the Schedule a Consultation page on this website. If you ever need to reschedule, just provide 24 hours’ notice to avoid a cancellation fee. I’ll always do my best to find a new time that works for you.
