Frequently Asked Questions

Who Do You Work With?

I work with people (18+) of all races, religions, cultures, abilities, genders, sexualities, and consensual relationship structures who are interested in relational healing. Individual and relationship therapy is offered online to people in the states of New York, Massachusetts, and Colorado via and in person to folx in New Paltz, NY.

How Can I/We Learn More About Your Approach?

Throughout my work, I draw from a blend of powerful integrative modalities for relational healing and trauma resolution to help you access and trust your innate healing process so you bring the most authentic version of your Self into relationship with skill and nuance.

If you find yourself seeking a deeper sense of what it might feel like for us to work together, explore my podcasts (available wherever you listen to audio). Whether we work together or not, it’s my hope that the content I create helps to undo some of your aloneness in the world and bring you into greater connectfulness.

Do You Work With Insurance?

No. I do not take insurance. I am licensed in the States of NY, CO & MA so if you have out of network benefits you may be able to receive reimbursement. Upon your request, I’ll provide a superbill to submit to insurance for receiving Out-of-Network benefits. I make no guarantees about the level of reimbursement you may receive. It's your responsibility to research insurance coverage before beginning therapy. You may need to waive your insurance benefits if you choose to work with me. I’ve opted-out of providing both in/out-of-network services through the Medicare program.

Payment is expected at the time services are rendered. I accept full fee at or before the time of service via cash, check, debit, VISA, MasterCard, Discover, American Express. FSA/HSA cards can also be accepted for therapy sessions. I do not accept third-party payments or carry account balances.

Additional information about “good faith estimates” available here.

What Are Your Fees For Therapy?

I value economic justice and adopted an equitable fee scale. This as considered a part of my larger mission to strive for racial, gender, sexual, and disability justice. Discounted fees are reserved for people who are financially unable to afford my full fee. The Equitable Fee Scale is available for individual and relationship therapy but not available for 20-hour relationship intensives.

What’s Your Licensure & Experience?

I hold clinical social work licenses in the states of New York, Massachusetts, and Colorado. I’ve long been on a quest to help folks heal legacy burdens, increase trust in the wisdom of their protective systems, and develop relational practices that support generational wellness. Practicing as a psychotherapist since 2003, my work blends modalities for relational trauma healing together in an integrative experiential relational practice I call Connectfulness®. I’m a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Internal Family Systems therapist, certified Relational Life Therapist & Facilitator, and certified HOCII Therapist. I am certified in the STAIR Method, developed by Juliane Taylor Shore. STAIR is a neurobiological framework that guides my work. You can find all the nitty gritty details about my experience and licensure here.

Are You Seeing Clients Online Or In-Person?

Yes to both. I work online with people in the states of New York, Colorado & Massachusetts. My in-person office is located in New Paltz, NY on unceeded Lenapehoking land.

What’s Your Cancelation Policy?

I get that life happens and from time to time you may need to cancel or reschedule our sessions. Your session time is reserved especially for you and so I request that you offer me notice to avoid fees. Therapy sessions canceled with less than 48-hours’ notice will be charged the full session fee.

What Services Do you Offer?

Individual Therapy
If you’ve a history of relational misattunements discerning your knowings and understanding your relational needs can be hard. The goal of our work will be to increase your experience of self trust, access to your natural resiliency, and increase the integrative capacity of your mind; to up your level of OK-ness. Ok-ness does not mean calm or feeling good; it is a subconscious assessment that you can handle this situation. Individual sessions are 45-minutes in length, weekly.

Relationship Therapy
I help people in consensual committed relationships make powerful insights, sustain lasting change, and integrate healthy new relational skills to repair connection, infidelity and trust, increase intimacy, improve communication, and deepen relational integrity. Inside this work, I have found that the traditional format of ongoing relationship therapy tends to leave partners leaning on me to “fix” them rather than center on their own development of skills and practices to support relational growth. I am moving away from offering traditional ongoing couples therapy and instead offering relationship intensives. Additional FAQs about these intensive offerings are provided on the bottom of the intensive page and you are welcome to schedule a consultation call to discuss further. Partners in the states of New York, Massachusetts, and Colorado who have completed a workshop or intensive with me are welcome to schedule 90-minute relationship sessions for guidance around sticky issues.

20-hour Relationship Intensives
While Relationship Intensives are not therapy, they are a good fit for people who are seeking profound relational shifts, enjoy self-exploration or don’t have time available on a regular basis. If the pain you want to heal from and the growth you are hoping for feels too urgent to slowly work through over months or years, an Intensive may be for you. Intensives consist of seven sessions, the first four are 3.5-hours each (within 2 or 3 week span), followed by three 2-hour follow-up sessions to support integrating your new self/relational care practices.
