FAQ’S

Questions about what it’s like to work together?

Here are some common questions I get about the therapy with me. If you don’t see your question answered below, feel free to reach out.

  • I work with neurodivergent adults, as well as people navigating grief, loss, and major life transitions. Many clients are high-masking, late-identified, or feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck, despite being capable and insightful. My clients are looking for therapy that is practical, collaborative, and affirming.

  • Yes. I specialize in working with these types of neurodivergences. This includes helping with executive functioning, emotional regulation, identity challenges, burnout, and relationship patterns. Therapy is adapted to your brain’s unique needs rather than expecting you to conform to a one-size-fits-all model.

  • You do not need a formal diagnosis to work with me. Many clients come in wondering if they might be ADHD, autistic, or AuDHD, or exploring other neurodivergent traits. Therapy is a space to understand your patterns, process your experiences, and explore whether a neurodivergent framework resonates—without pressure to label yourself.

  • I approach grief therapy by creating a compassionate, judgment-free space where adults can process loss in all its forms—whether that’s the death of a loved one, estrangement, identity loss, or grief tied to major life transitions. There’s no expectation to “move on” or grieve on a specific timeline. Our work is collaborative and attuned to your real-world needs, allowing emotions to be explored honestly while building support that feels practical and sustainable.

  • Absolutely. I help clients through major life changes, such as graduations, career transitions, relationship shifts, divorce, relocation, onset of chronic illness, and late neurodivergent identification. Therapy helps process uncertainty, grief, and stress, while building practical strategies to move forward with confidence.

  • My therapy approach is warm, practical, collaborative, and tailored to each client. I have specialized training in ADHD across the lifespan and in prolonged grief, which informs how I support clients through neurodivergence, loss, and life transitions. I combine insight and self-compassion with practical day-to-day strategies for coping, functioning, and achieving your goals. Sessions may include emotional processing, pattern recognition, grief work, and building strategies that help you thrive.

  • I am in-network with Aetna and Optum. I will verify coverage prior to beginning treatment, but it’s important that you contact your insurance company directly to understand your plan, co-pays, deductibles, and out-of-pocket costs. My goal is to make accessing therapy as straightforward as possible while helping you understand your financial responsibilities.

  • For individuals not covered by the above insurance plans, a standard 50-minute therapy session is $200. However, I do not believe therapy should be a luxury service, so I offer several sliding scale options, to make care accessible. Session length and frequency are tailored to your clinical needs, goals, and capacity, and extended sessions are available when clinically appropriate.

  • Yes. I provide telehealth therapy for clients located in New York State at the time of the session. Sessions are secure, HIPAA-compliant, and convenient for clients who prefer to meet from home.

    Virtual therapy is especially beneficial for neurodivergent adults, people with ADHD or autism, and those navigating grief or life transitions, because it allows you to:

    • Participate from the environment where you feel most comfortable

    • Minimize sensory or executive-functioning challenges associated with traveling to an office

    • Maintain consistency during life transitions, illness, or grief-related disruptions

    • Easily integrate therapy into busy or unpredictable schedules

      This format supports flexible, practical, and accessible mental health care while preserving the same quality and therapeutic connection as in-person sessions.

  • Most clients start with weekly or bi-weekly sessions, especially during periods of high stress, grief, or life transitions. Frequency may shift over time depending on your goals, capacity, and the intensity of the work.

  • That is very common, especially for neurodivergent adults or those processing grief. Therapy is a space to slow down, explore your experience, and translate it into meaningful understanding. You do not need to have the “right words” to begin.

  • You can reach out through the contact form to schedule a consultation to see if we are a good fit. Therapy is collaborative from the first session, and you are welcome regardless of diagnosis, medication status, or previous therapy experience.
