“Life isn’t always about beating the waves.
Sometimes, it’s about learning to breathe underwater.”

Individual Session
During individual sessions, I provide a supportive one-on-one environment where you can freely share your story and explore your emotions without judgment. Together, we'll work on tapping into your innate healing abilities while developing new tools and strategies to support your journey.
​
For some clients, I incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which can be particularly effective for navigating fertility challenges, perinatal loss, and postpartum experiences. EMDR addresses trauma, anxiety, and grief associated with these sensitive issues, promoting healing and emotional resilience on the path to parenthood.
​
Each individual session is designed to last 50-55 minutes, ensuring ample time for meaningful exploration and support.
Couple's Session
Couple's counseling is tailored to meet the unique needs of you and your partner. I specialize in helping couples navigate fertility challenges, cope with grief together, and address any strains in connection and communication that arise during this period. Additionally, I provide support to couples during the perinatal and postpartum stages, focusing on transitions and co-parenting dynamics.
​
My approach draws from evidence-based methods such as the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy, ensuring that sessions are effective and supportive for couples in various stages of their journey.
​
Each couple's session is designed to last 50-55 minutes, ensuring ample time for meaningful exploration and support.
If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health emergency or crisis immediately call 988 (the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or call 911, or go to the nearest emergency room. Additional resources can be found here.

​
OUT OF NETWORK REINBURSEMENT
I can provide a superbill for clients requesting reimbursement with their insurance provider to request out of network coverage. At this time, BCBS clients in PA are not eligible for an OON reimbursement. Prior to the intake session, please contact your insurance company to see if out-of-network service can be reimbursed and to understand the process for requesting a reimbursement, as this is not always guaranteed/approved.
BEST FAITH ESTIMATE (OUT OF NETWORK)
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. You will always know the cost of your session without any hidden fees.
What to expect before your intake appointment:
After you book your initial intake appointment online through the client portal, you will be sent intake and consent forms, and assessment measures that I ask you to complete before your appointment. These forms will help me gain some basic information before the initial session. You will also set up your billing information at this time.
​
During your initial session, we will talk more about what brought you to therapy. Since I will already have the basic paperwork, we can dive right into what you are currently experiencing and how it is impacting you. When you leave the initial session, we will have a plan for how we will work together in future sessions. If you are seeking couples counseling, it is important that both partners be present for the first and sequential sessions.
On-going sessions:
During on-going sessions, we will work together to address your treatment goals in order to address your presenting areas of concern. Sessions can be set at a frequency that are therapeutically appropriate and what works for you. Most clients start with meeting 1 x a week and then shift to bi-weekly.
​
Cancellation policy:
If you do not show up for your scheduled therapy appointment and you have not requested to cancel at least 24 hours in advance, you will be required to pay a set fee of $60.
