Frequently Asked Questions:
What’s the Deal with Insurance?
Can I use my insurance plan?
Yes! I currently accept Aetna, Horizon, and Cigna insurance plans.
Through my free 15-minute consultation, I can help you determine what your insurance coverage would be, estimated copay and answer any questions you may have about affordability.
What if you don’t take my insurance?
Not a problem! Most insurance plans offer out of network benefits.
If you have an insurance carrier I am not currently in network with, I am happy to provide a superbill that assists with reimbursement from your insurance for out of network providers.
Please feel free to reach out if you would like to use an insurance provider not listed as there are other options available.
I also happily provide sliding scale services upon request to ease financial burden.
What if I prefer self-pay?
Absolutely!
Many prefer self-pay as it increases the flexibility of therapeutic services outside of constraints set by traditional insurance carriers.
I currently offer self-pay for both individual and couples therapy.
If you are unsure if self-pay is for you, please reach out for consultation so that we can find the right financial fit for you.

Why Therapy?

What is virtual therapy?
Thoughtful, Consistent Care, Wherever You Are.
Virtual therapy offers the flexibility of meeting from your own space while still engaging in meaningful, depth-oriented work.
For many adults navigating trauma and attachment patterns, feeling physically comfortable can make it easier to explore vulnerable material. Without the added stress of commuting, therapy becomes something that fits into your life, not something you have to rearrange your life around.
Why Clients Choose Virtual Sessions:
- Greater flexibility with work and personal schedules
- Privacy and discretion
- No commute or waiting rooms
- Access to specialized trauma and attachment therapy anywhere in New Jersey
- Consistency during busy or transitional seasons
Attachment healing requires steady connection. Virtual sessions make that consistency more sustainable.
-
Is virtual therapy as effective?
Yes!
Research consistently shows that virtual therapy is as effective as in-person therapy for trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.
The therapeutic relationship, which is central to attachment work, remains strong and meaningful through secure video sessions.
Many clients find that once they begin, the experience feels natural and engaging.
If you’re looking for grounded, specialized therapy that integrates seamlessly into your life, virtual care may be the right fit.
-
How do I know I am ready for therapy?
You don’t have to have everything figured out to start therapy, readiness often comes from noticing that something isn’t working for you or that you’d like support navigating life’s challenges.
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply curious about exploring your thoughts and emotions, therapy can be a helpful and supportive next step.
-
What should I anticipate in the first session?
Your first session is an opportunity to get to know each other and discuss your goals for therapy.
We’ll explore your experiences, challenges, and what you hope to achieve.
You can expect a collaborative, judgment-free environment where you’ll feel heard and supported, and together we’ll start shaping a plan that works for you.
It’s perfectly normal to feel nervous prior to meeting, I will be there with you to walk you through the process.

What is EMDR?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy designed to help process and heal from trauma. Using bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps the brain reprocess distressing memories, reducing their intensity and emotional impact.
The following is a summary from the International Association for EMDR (EMDRIA) website:
EMDR is a structured therapy that encourages the patient to focus briefly on the trauma memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements), which is associated with a reduction in the vividness and emotion associated with the trauma memories.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and PTSD symptoms.
Ongoing research supports positive clinical outcomes, showing EMDR therapy as a helpful treatment for disorders such as anxiety, depression, OCD, chronic pain, addictions, and other distressing life experiences.
