Frequently Asked Questions

Therapy is a structured, collaborative process designed to help you better understand your thoughts, emotions, relational patterns, and internal conflicts.

In our work together, we look beyond surface-level symptoms to explore the underlying dynamics shaping your experience — including early relational templates, attachment patterns, nervous system responses, and the ways you have adapted to life’s challenges.

Rather than offering quick fixes, therapy provides space to slow down, reflect, and develop greater emotional clarity and psychological flexibility. Over time, this deeper understanding can lead to more intentional choices, healthier relationships, and a stronger sense of self.

Therapy is not about becoming someone different — it is about becoming more fully yourself.

My practice is best suited for individuals who are interested in meaningful, depth-oriented work rather than short-term symptom management alone.

I work with adults and adolescents (15+) who are navigating anxiety, relational patterns, identity development, burnout, creative blocks, chronic stress, or life transitions. Many are thoughtful and self-aware, yet find themselves repeating patterns or feeling internally conflicted despite their insight.

This work is particularly supportive for those who value emotional honesty, psychological curiosity, and sustained growth over time.

I work with adults, adolescents, and college students navigating:

• Anxiety and chronic overwhelm

• Developmental and relational trauma

• Burnout and high-functioning stress

• Perfectionism and self-criticism

• Creative inhibition and identity concerns

• Neurodivergence

• Chronic illness and pain

• Life transitions and questions of meaning

Many clients come to therapy not because they are in crisis, but because they recognize recurring patterns, internal pressure, or emotional strain that no longer feels sustainable.

Our work focuses not only on symptom relief, but on understanding the deeper structures shaping your experience.

The first session is the beginning of a working relationship, not a one-time assessment.

We will start with what feels most present for you — what brought you in, what feels urgent, or what you’ve been carrying alone. From there, our understanding develops gradually over the first few sessions as we explore relevant history, relational patterns, and emotional themes at a pace that feels thoughtful and manageable.

There is no expectation that you have everything clearly articulated. Therapy is not about presenting a polished narrative; it is about creating space for curiosity and honesty.

We will also review confidentiality, structure, and next steps so you can decide whether this feels like the right fit.

The length of therapy varies depending on your goals, history, and the depth of work you would like to engage in.

Some individuals come to therapy during a specific life transition or period of acute stress. Others choose to stay longer in order to explore longstanding relational patterns, trauma, identity development, or internal conflicts that benefit from sustained attention.

Therapy is not designed as a quick intervention. Meaningful psychological change tends to unfold gradually, through consistency, reflection, and the development of trust over time. We revisit your goals and pace periodically to ensure the work remains aligned with your needs.

I offer in-person psychotherapy in Miami and secure telehealth sessions for clients who prefer to meet virtually.

In-person sessions take place in a private office setting designed to support focused, contained work. Virtual sessions provide flexibility while maintaining continuity and depth.

If you are located outside of Florida, you’re welcome to reach out to inquire about current options.

The fee for a 50-minute session is $300.

Longer sessions are available when clinically appropriate and are prorated accordingly.

Payment is due at the time of service. I accept major credit cards as well as HSA/FSA cards.

I am an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance directly. If you have out-of-network mental health benefits, I can provide documentation (a Superbill) for possible reimbursement.

A limited number of reduced-fee spots are reserved for clients with demonstrated financial need.

Working outside of insurance allows for greater privacy, flexibility, and clinical depth in our work together.

I am not in-network with insurance panels.

Some insurance plans offer out-of-network reimbursement for psychotherapy. I recommend contacting your provider to ask about your out-of-network mental health benefits, deductible, and reimbursement rate.

If you choose to pursue reimbursement, insurance companies typically require a mental health diagnosis. We can discuss this process in more detail during your initial consultation.

I require at least 48 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling.

Sessions canceled with less than 48 hours’ notice are charged at the full session rate. This policy helps protect the consistency of your treatment and the time reserved specifically for you.

I understand that unexpected situations arise. If there is an emergency, please reach out and we can discuss the circumstances.

Yes. Therapy is confidential, with specific legal exceptions related to safety concerns, abuse, or court orders.

Confidentiality and privacy are foundational to the therapeutic relationship. We will review the details — including the limits of confidentiality — during your intake process so you feel informed and comfortable with the structure of our work together.

My work integrates depth-oriented psychotherapy with somatic awareness.

In addition to psychodynamic and relational training, I bring a strong understanding of the mind–body connection, informed by years of teaching yoga and studying the ways emotional experience lives in the nervous system. This allows us to work not only with insight and language, but also with embodied patterns and stress responses that may not be immediately conscious.

Therapy in my practice is neither purely cognitive nor purely experiential. It is a steady, reflective process that honors both psychological complexity and physiological reality.
