The first step is a brief consultation, where we can get a sense of what you’re looking for and whether working together feels like a good fit. This is a space for you to ask questions, share a bit about your situation, and get a feel for how I work. If we decide to move forward, we’ll schedule an initial intake session and begin shaping a direction for our work together at a pace that feels thoughtful and manageable.

The length and frequency of therapy depend on your goals, the nature of what you’re working through, and how we come to understand the work together. I start our work with weekly sessions to get to know you and establish a rhythm. Some may choose shorter-term, focused work, while others engage in longer-term therapy to explore more complex or longstanding patterns. We may move to every other week sessions, revisiting these questions as we go, allowing the pace and duration of therapy to remain responsive to your needs rather than fixed from the outset.

Studies consistently show that the quality of the therapeutic alliance—the sense of trust, feeling understood, and working together on shared goals—is one of the most powerful predictors of change across different treatment types and diagnoses. Early sessions are a chance for you to notice whether you feel safe enough to be honest, whether my questions and reflections are helpful, and whether my style makes room for your full experience. If, together, we don’t feel like it’s the right match, I will support you in finding someone who might be a better fit.

I have a sliding scale practice. This means I attempt to meet individuals where they are located regarding access to resources and privilege, and to make a living and maintain a sustainable business in NYC. Average rates for individual therapy in Manhattan are between $200–350, and couples and relationship work are between $250–400.

The scale considers access and guides us on setting a price that can work for both of us. Discounted fees are reserved for those who cannot access the full fee. There is no income verification, but I ask for an honest acknowledgment of what is possible for you, and I trust you will understand the reality of your economic situation.
