I offer in-person therapy for those local to the Rochester, NY area or virtually for individuals across New York State.

Typically, sessions are held weekly or bi-weekly, decided together based on your needs and my assessment.

There are a limited number of sliding scale openings for those who may not be able to afford therapy — feel free to reach out to discuss!

Insurance

At this time, I do not take insurance.

NEW! While I don't accept insurance directly, your insurance plan may have out-of-network benefits, which means that they will reimburse you for a portion of our session cost. I have partnered with Thrizer to handle the out-of-network process automatically for you, if you so choose. With Thrizer, you will only have to pay a copay for our sessions post-deductible, instead of paying my full fee and waiting for reimbursements. This typically allows clients to save on average 70% upfront on our sessions. During our intake process, I can help you verify if you have out-of-network benefits and how much your copay would be.

I’ve chosen not to work directly with insurance companies because I want therapy to be about you.

I believe therapy should be a space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without needing to fit into a specific label. Many insurance companies require a formal mental health diagnosis and ongoing documentation to “approve” coverage. But not everyone seeking support meets the criteria for a diagnosis—and I don’t believe you should need one just to access care. By not working directly with insurance, I’m able to protect your privacy, tailor our work to your needs (not the insurance company’s rules), and support you in a way that feels more aligned, flexible, and personal.
