What Clients & Colleagues Say
FAQ About Therapy in Philadelphia
-
I work with people who are generally high-functioning—meaning they may have jobs, relationships, social lives, etc.—but are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or blocked by a mental health issue or difficult life situation.
Most of my clients are in early to middle adulthood, which reflects my own life stage (I’m in my 40s). I frequently work with:
Lawyers and legal professionals
Teachers and academics
Medical professionals
Consultants and entrepreneurs
Engineers, programmers, and folks in tech
Finance professionals
Students and graduate students
In short, people who are used to managing a lot, but are currently facing something that’s hard to navigate alone.
-
I take an eclectic approach to therapy, meaning I draw from a variety of evidence-based modalities and tailor them to each client’s unique concerns and personal style. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all model—what works for one person may not resonate with another.
Some of the approaches I regularly use include:
Mindfulness-based approaches, including Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Psychodynamic Therapy
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD
That said, the real engine behind progress in therapy isn’t just the tools—it’s the relationship. I put a lot of intention into building a strong, collaborative connection with my clients. That relationship is the foundation for everything else we do.

Many people start with a free 30-minute video consultation, which gives us a chance to talk about what’s going on, what you’re hoping for in therapy, and whether we might be a good fit. I take consultations seriously, and I strive to make them feel easy, conversational, and helpful—there’s no pressure.
If you decide to move forward, our first session is a 60-minute intake, where I’ll ask questions about your history, lifestyle, and the challenges bringing you to therapy. Together, we’ll begin to clarify your goals and create a direction for our work.
After that, we’ll typically meet for 50-minute sessions (either virtually or in-person) on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, depending on your needs and schedule.
-
I’m an out-of-network provider, which means I don’t bill insurance directly, but many clients receive partial reimbursement from their insurance company. I’ll provide you with a monthly superbill—a document you can submit to your insurer for reimbursement.
You can read more about how out-of-network benefits work on my Out-of-Network Explainer page. I’m also happy to talk through it during our consultation, so you can make an informed decision about fit and affordability.
