FAQ

Questions, answered simply.

Starting therapy can bring up a lot of questions. Here are a few common things people want to know before reaching out.

Contact Me
How do I get started?

Use the contact form to reach out. I’ll follow up by email so we can discuss your needs, availability, and whether working together feels like a good fit.

Do you offer in-person sessions?

No. I currently offer telehealth exclusively for clients located in Connecticut.

Who do you work with?

I work with young adults, mothers, and parents. My services include individual therapy with a focus on parenting issues, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, relationship conflicts, life transitions, and perinatal mental health.

What does PMH-C mean?

PMH-C stands for Perinatal Mental Health Certification. It reflects specialized training and certification in supporting mental health during pregnancy, postpartum, and related parenting transitions.

What insurance do you accept?

I currently accept Anthem BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, Medicaid, and United Health Care.

Do you offer private pay?

Yes. The initial intake is $250 and ongoing sessions are $200. Sliding scale options may be available as needed.

What is your cancellation policy?

If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, I ask for at least 48 hours’ notice. Appointments canceled with less than 48 hours’ notice will be charged the full session fee. This policy allows me to respect both your time and mine, as well as other clients who may need that time slot.

What can I expect from therapy?

You can expect a calm, supportive, and collaborative space where we identify what feels difficult, explore what you need, and work toward practical, meaningful change.

Is this form for emergencies?

No. This website and email are not monitored for emergencies. If you are in crisis or need immediate help, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.

Still wondering?

I’m happy to hear from you.
