FAQs — Grief Counseling & Life Transitions Therapy

I specialize in three areas of support:

• Grief counseling - Compassionate support for adults navigating loss and processing complex emotions, with a focus on finding your path forward.

• Pet loss therapy - Specialized support for those grieving the loss of a beloved companion animal, in a space where your grief is fully understood and honored.

• Life transitions therapy - Supportive counseling for adults navigating major life changes, including career shifts, divorce, relocation, retirement, and beyond.

I hold specialized training and credentials in each of these areas, including my certification as a Grief-Informed Professional and membership with the Association for Pet Loss and Bereavement (APLB). 

I’ve been working in the mental health field for over 10 years, supporting individuals through grief, loss, and major life transitions in both short and long-term capacities. I hold a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling and am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with Diagnostic Privileges (LMHC-D) in New York, and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey and Connecticut.

I’m also a Certified Grief-Informed Professional, a Life Transitions Specialist, and a member of the Association for Pet Loss and Bereavement (APLB), bringing specialized training and personal understanding to this work. I’m currently completing an Internal Family Systems and Somatic Trauma Therapy certificate, deepening how I integrate these modalities into my work with clients. Prior to opening my private practice in 2022, I gained extensive experience in leadership and clinical roles working with individuals facing serious and complex mental health challenges.

Therapy provides a safe, supportive space to work through life's most difficult moments — whether you're navigating grief, loss, or a major life transition. With the right support, therapy can help you process complex emotions, understand yourself more deeply, develop healthy coping strategies, and move forward with greater clarity and purpose. Every person's journey is different, and our work together will reflect that.

All sessions are held virtually, one-on-one, on a secure and confidential platform. Life is busy — online therapy removes the barrier of commuting to an office, making it easier to prioritize your own wellbeing without adding more to your plate. I offer sessions throughout New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.

Yes! Before scheduling your first full session, I offer a free 15-minute consultation call. This is a no-pressure opportunity to ask questions, share a bit about what brings you to therapy, and for us to get a sense of whether working together feels like the right fit. There's no commitment required — just a chance to connect.

I am a private-pay practice, meaning I don't bill insurance directly. This allows us to focus entirely on your needs without the limitations that insurance can sometimes place on care. 

A superbill can be provided upon request, which is a detailed receipt you can submit to your insurance provider to seek potential reimbursement. To check your out-of-network mental health benefits beforehand, contact your insurance carrier and ask about your coverage amount per session, how many sessions your plan covers, and whether your deductible has been met.

Sessions are $200 for a 60-minute appointment. Payment is due at the time of your session. All major credit cards are accepted, along with Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA).

I offer online therapy to adults throughout New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Because all sessions are held virtually, you can access support from anywhere within these states — no commute required.

A 24-hour notice is required for all cancellations. No-shows or cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice will incur the full session fee, which must be paid before your next scheduled session.

Yes, confidentiality is fundamental to the therapeutic relationship. What you share in session stays private and will not be discussed with anyone else without your written permission. There are rare exceptions required by law. For complete details about your privacy rights, please review my Privacy Policy.

A Good Faith Estimate is a document that healthcare providers are legally required to provide before your first session. It's designed to protect you by giving a clear picture of the maximum potential cost of treatment over a predetermined period. Good Faith Estimates are provided on an annual basis and require your signature, though they don't obligate you to anything. This is simply a patient protection measure required by federal law.

It's a no-pressure opportunity to connect, ask questions, and see if working together feels like the right fit.
