Work With Me 1:1
Psychotherapy
If you've been searching for more out of life, for more peace, joy, comfort, and confidence, along with scientifically backed, proven methods, then you're in the right place. As a licensed psychologist for 21 years, I provide therapy with compassion, care, understanding, and acceptance. I have earned a reputation as a skilled and supportive psychologist who cares deeply for her clients. I primarily work with young adult women and women in midlife. My private practice in psychology is located in beautiful semi-rural Long Valley, New Jersey. We may meet in my cozy, welcoming office, or online – your choice.
I do not participate on any insurance panels. At the end of the session, I provide clients with a receipt that clients can submit to insurance companies for reimbursement for out-of-network benefits. Clients are advised to check their out-of-network benefits prior to initiating psychotherapy.
After you have checked your out-of-network benefits and are interested in working with me, click the button below to schedule your complimentary initial 15 minute call to see if we are a good match.
