Pricing and Insurance
I am currently in-network only with Aetna insurance. For those with other insurance providers, I operate out-of-network. I can offer a monthly super-bill for you to seek possible reimbursement from your health plan or employer. It's essential to be aware of your mental health benefits and understand how to utilize them before we start our sessions. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me or contact your insurance provider. If you need to cancel your appointment, please give me at least 48 hours notice to avoid being charged the full cost of the session. I understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise, so I may make exceptions on a case-by-case basis.

Whether you want to improve your mood and manage emotions, build deeper intimacy in relationships, or increase your self-acceptance and self-esteem, I am here to help you achieve your goals. Together, we can also work on managing stress and anxiety, building confidence and assertiveness, exploring career development, understanding healthy boundaries, and sharpening decision-making skills. I am committed to collaborating with you to help you create the life you want and deserve.
Couples Counseling
50 minutes — $200 per session
In couples counseling, we will work together to strengthen your relationship by building a foundation of trust, friendship, and commitment. Through the use of evidence-based interventions and exercises, we will focus on improving communication skills, managing conflicts and resentments, and increasing emotional intimacy. We will explore the ways in which past experiences, attachment styles, and individual personality traits impact your relationship, and work on developing shared values and personal accountability. Together, we will strive to create a shared vision for your relationship and build a culture of appreciation and respect. By promoting positive interactions and building resiliency in your relationship, I can help you achieve your goals and create a stronger, more fulfilling connection.
Discernment Counseling
80 minutes — $300 per session
Discernment Counseling is a specialized approach designed to help partners who are uncertain about the future of their relationship. Whether you're facing a crossroads in your partnership or struggling to decide whether to continue or end the relationship, Discernment Counseling can provide valuable guidance and support. In Discernment Counseling, we will focus on exploring your individual and collective experiences, emotions, and perspectives to gain a deeper understanding of your relationship dynamics. By fostering an open and non-judgmental environment, we will encourage honest conversations about your expectations, fears, and hopes for the future.
Through a series of four structured sessions, we will work collaboratively to identify the patterns and challenges that have contributed to your current situation, and help you gain clarity on the best path forward for both partners. By emphasizing personal reflection and growth, Discernment Counseling aims to empower you with the insights and tools necessary to make informed decisions about your relationship. Whatever the outcome, my goal is to help you emerge from Discernment Counseling with a renewed sense of understanding and confidence, ready to move forward with your lives—whether that means recommitting to your partnership or navigating the process of separation with compassion and respect.
