I work with adults and teenagers struggling with a broad range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and the effects of trauma. Whatever the concern, our work begins with what feels most pressing to you. It doesn’t need to fit neatly into any category.

A psychiatrist is a doctor who specialized in psychiatry by completing a four year residency in psychiatry after graduating medical school. Psychiatrists can diagnose mental health conditions, provide psychotherapy, and prescribe medication. A psychologist is trained in psychology and often specializes in psychological testing and psychotherapy but does not prescribe medication.

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is an open-ended form of therapy in which we work together to explore the inner workings of your mind. I describe it in more detail here.

Absolutely, as it is impossible to do this work otherwise. I have a separate waiting room and leave a gap between patients so you will usually not see anyone in my office suite. Insurers can require a diagnosis.

I will be happy to discuss that with you and help refer you to someone else who might be a better fit.

Because I believe psychotherapy works best in person, I offer virtual sessions only to established patients who typically meet with me face-to-face but are occasionally unable to do so.

I prefer Zelle, but also take Venmo, check or cash.

Many patients are surprised to learn that their insurance does include out-of-network benefits, and as a result they are reimbursed for a large portion of the cost—sometimes most of it. Coverage varies by plan, so the exact amount depends on your out-of-network benefits. I’ll help you understand what your plan offers and how to use it.

Note: I am not currently able to see patients with Aetna.
