I began my career with an MBA working on Wall Street. Since 1995, I’ve been practicing psychotherapy as a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and received my Master’s in Social Work (MSW) from Columbia University. My former career in business, combined with extensive experience consulting with corporate Employee Assistance Programs (EAP’s) has been particularly helpful to people facing all kinds of career issues.

What will therapy cost?

Today’s insurance plans can be confusing to navigate but many policies have what is called an “out-of-network” benefit. These plans can help reduce the cost of therapy by covering often between 50% to 80% of your therapy fee. By making a commitment to work on problems troubling you, you are investing in making your life work better.

Payment/Cancellation Policy

Please note that payment is expected at the time of your appointment.  Also, please be aware that I have a 24 hour cancellation policy. If you need to cancel a session within 24 hours of the scheduled session time you will be charged.
