Unpacking Hearts, opening your heart to change.
NYC-based mental health therapy, specializing in anxiety, relationships and life transitions in adulthood
My Approach
If you are asking yourself “why do I think like this?” or “why do I behave this way?,” we may be a great fit! I strive to explore the root of where my clients’ feelings are stemming from.
My first goal in therapy is to provide a space where rapport, authenticity and trust is established. My second goal is to help you gain insight on how your past experiences contribute to your present concerns, since I believe that our upbringing and relationships are critical factors that influence who we are as people.
Through our sessions, you will be able to experience a full-range of emotions. You may find yourself smiling and laughing to cursing and crying (and if no tears are shed, we will be sure to explore why!). I will empathically and gently challenge you to help you reach your fullest potential. I aim to provide a space that allows for deep connection, vulnerability and even humor to effect change.
FAQs

Currently, I am only offering virtual (telehealth) sessions to individuals residing in the state of New York.

It is very important to me that I make therapy accessible to those who are unable to pay my full fee. I always hold a few sliding scale slots. Please reach out and we can discuss if this is a possibility for our work together!

All sessions are virtual and are 50 minutes in length. Therapy is most beneficial when starting sessions on a weekly basis, as rapport and trust are developed when there is consistency. We will work together to find a consistent time slot that works with your availability.

Yes, I am paneled with Cigna, Optum (United Health Care, Oscar, Oxford) and Aetna through Alma, an insurance billing platform.
-
Yes, it is possible! Many health insurance plans offer partial or full coverage for out-of-network mental health services. Consider asking your provider the following questions by calling the number on the back of your insurance card:
Does my plan offer any “out-of-network” insurance benefits for mental health?
What is my annual deductible and has it been met?
What is my “co-insurance”?
Do I need prior approval or a referral in order to receive reimbursement for out-of-network mental health care?
I also partner with Mentaya to help my clients save money on therapy by submitting claims to insurances on behalf of my clients for reimbursement.
-
Insurance companies mandate a diagnosis for mental health services, oversee your health records and may seek access to your information and progress while being in therapy. You may have a high deductible for in-network services and may have more out-of-network benefits than you previously knew about! There also may be therapists that specialize in identities and difficulties that you are experiencing that are not in-network, limiting your chances of finding the therapist that is the best fit for your needs.
