Who do you work with?

I provide teletherapy for women experiencing life transitions, with a focus on postpartum anxiety and the broader perinatal period. I also work with young women navigating the challenges of emerging adulthood. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, second-guessing yourself, or struggling with new responsibilities, you’re in the right place.

What is therapy like with you?

Sessions are collaborative, flexible, and tailored to your needs. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you create space around difficult thoughts and feelings and focus on what matters most. I also integrate existential approaches to explore identity, purpose, and meaning so we’re not just managing life but figuring out how to live it fully. Together we consider both your inner world and the context you live in, including the pressures of modern womanhood, societal expectations, and the unique challenges of the perinatal period.

Do I need a diagnosis to start therapy?

Yes, insurance requires a diagnosis to cover therapy sessions. That said, a diagnosis does not define you, and in therapy, we focus on your whole life. You are more than a label, and therapy is about supporting you, not just treating a diagnosis.

Do you accept private pay?

Yes. In addition to accepting Aetna and Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO plans, I also offer private pay sessions at a rate of $160 per session.

Many women choose private pay (sometimes called self-pay) for the added privacy and flexibility it offers. When you pay out of pocket, your information stays completely between you and your therapist—no reports, approvals, or shared records with an insurance company.

Private pay can also give you more control over your care, including how long we work together and what we focus on, without being limited by what insurance considers “medically necessary.”

If you’re seeking therapy for postpartum anxiety, perinatal mental health support, or simply a space to focus on your wellbeing as a woman, private pay can make the process feel more personal and less medical.

What question should I ask my insurance provider?

In-network coverage (BCBS, Aetna PPO plans):
If you’d like to verify your benefits, here are helpful questions to ask:

• Am I covered for sessions with this provider?

• Are teletherapy sessions covered for mental health?

• Are prior authorizations required for therapy visits?

• What is my deductible or coinsurance for mental health?

• Are CPT codes 90791 (evaluation) and 90837 (ongoing therapy) covered?

Out-of-network coverage:

• Does my plan cover out-of-network mental health services?

• Will I be reimbursed for therapy sessions with this provider?

• What documentation or superbill is required for reimbursement?

• How many out-of-network sessions are covered per year?

You can also pay out-of-pocket and receive a superbill to submit for potential reimbursement. Reimbursement is determined by your insurance company.
