1.  Why are you private pay?

I choose to operate as a private-pay provider so I can offer the highest level of personalized care without the limitations imposed by insurance companies. This means we can focus entirely on your goals, set a pace that works for you, and protect your privacy, without needing a mental health diagnosis or approval for sessions. This means I can focus on client care rather than administrative work. 

While I do not bill insurance directly, I’m happy to provide a superbill (receipt for services) that you can submit to your insurance for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Check with your insurance if you plan to submit. 

 

2. What’s the difference between therapy and coaching?

Therapy helps you heal and process emotional or mental health issues, while coaching is more future-focused, helping you set and reach goals. In therapy, we may address anxiety or trauma; in coaching, we might explore habits or purpose. I can help you determine which approach is right for you.  

 

3. How long are sessions and how often do we meet?

Therapy sessions are typically 53 minutes. Frequency depends on your needs—some clients come weekly, others biweekly. We’ll collaborate to find a rhythm that supports your goals.

 

4. What can I expect in our first session?

The first session is a chance for me to learn about you, your goals, and what brought you here. We'll discuss your history, answer questions, and begin setting the foundation for our work together. I will send paperwork via online portal to be filled out before session. 

 

5.  Can we work virtually?

 Yes, I can work virtually with clients who are in the state of New Jersey. Just make sure you have a private space to hold sessions.
