The free phone consult is an opportunity for you to share your situation and your goals with me, and for me to answer any questions you may have about my services. It also allows us to see if we are a good fit for working together. If we decide to proceed, we will schedule an initial intake session where we can explore your issues in more depth and start developing a plan of action.

I do not offer in-person therapy. Our meetings will take place via video call, similar to Zoom or FaceTime.

No, I cannot prescribe medication. However, I am happy to work with your primary care physician or refer you to a psychiatrist who can assess your symptoms to determine if medication might be helpful for you.

I accept the following insurances for counseling services: Oscar Health, United Healthcare, Oxford, Cigna, Optum, and Aetna. Unfortunately, insurance doesn't cover coaching or homework help therapy, but I do offer these extra services on a self-pay basis. If you do not have one of the aforementioned insurances to cover therapy, I can provide you with an itemized statement (superbill) that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. However, please keep in mind that not all insurance companies reimburse for out-of-network services, so it's best to confirm this beforehand. For counseling services, I am able to accept payment via FSA and HSA, but not for coaching or homework help.

The cost of sessions vary based on the service. Please refer to the Fees page for additional information.

Credit and debit cards are accepted (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express). Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flex Spending Accounts (FSA) can be used to pay for therapy sessions (but NOT coaching or homework help).

Due to legal and ethical requirements, full payment is due at the time of service.

The platform my practice operates on is fully HIPPA compliant and follows strict security practices to protect your account information including electronic Patient Health Information (ePHI). Some of the ways that the platform protects your data include the following:

• Using multiple layers of encryption to transmit account information securely.

• Storing your data in a Tier 1 secure hosting provider that specializes in helping healthcare organizations achieve and maintain HIPAA and HITRUST security requirements.

• Testing for vulnerabilities and prevent unauthorized access.

• VeriSign security seal and the HITRUST certification, which are the gold standards of security in the healthcare industry.

I work out of a private office space and wear headphones during all meetings.

Rest assured that our communication will stay confidential. However, there are some legal exceptions to confidentiality. These exceptions are as follows: if someone's life is in danger (yours or someone else's); reported emotional, physical, or sexual abuse and/or neglect of a minor or dependent adult (elderly person or someone with special needs); a court order signed by a judge; or if you sign a consent form to share information about your treatment with a specific person/entity such as a primary care doctor.

Unfortunately, if you are located in a state other than Florida or Massachusetts, that probably isn't going to be possible. Generally, a client must be physically located in the state where the therapist is licensed to practice. However, there are some exceptions, so don't hesitate to reach out to discuss your circumstances.

The frequency of our sessions will depend on your individual needs and goals. Together, we'll determine the optimal schedule for your progress. Generally speaking, sessions are more frequent at the beginning of treatment and then gradually taper off as you achieve your goals. However, everyone's case is unique and may require adjustments along the way.

Although executive dysfunction and ADHD are my areas of specialty, I also have extensive experience in treating anxiety disorders (such as generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and specific phobias) as well as depression and other mood disorders. Many clients present with symptoms of ADHD along with other co-occurring conditions.
