FAQ

  • What happens during a therapy session?

    Each therapy session is tailored to your needs. We’ll begin by discussing what’s been happening in your life, focusing on any urgent concerns. Together, we’ll explore patterns, develop coping strategies, and build tools to support your mental health journey.

  • What therapy services do you provide for women?

    I provide individual therapy for adult women in New Jersey and Florida. My specialties include anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, bipolar disorder, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Sessions are designed for women who want to heal, grow, and strengthen their self-awareness.

  • Do you offer online therapy in New Jersey and Florida?

    Yes, I provide online therapy sessions exclusively. This allows women across New Jersey and Florida to access counseling from the comfort and privacy of their own space.

  • Why do you specialize in therapy for BIPOC women?

    BIPOC women often face unique challenges, including racial trauma, discrimination, and the intersection of race and gender identity. My practice provides culturally affirming therapy that acknowledges and addresses these lived experiences within the healing process.

  • What should I expect in my first therapy session?

    The first session is an opportunity to share what brings you to therapy, your personal history, and your goals. It’s also a chance for us to see if we’re a good fit. Together, we’ll begin creating a plan for your healing journey.

  • Who do you work with in your therapy practice?

    I primarily work with women, including BIPOC women and women from diverse cultural and personal backgrounds. My clients are often high-functioning but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected.

  • Do you provide culturally sensitive therapy?

    Yes. My approach is culturally affirming and trauma-informed. I create a safe, non-judgmental space where women can explore how culture, identity, and lived experience affect emotional well-being.

  • What is your approach to therapy?

    My therapy approach is client-centered, culturally affirming, and trauma-informed. I integrate EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies to support meaningful change.

  • Do you specialize in trauma therapy and EMDR?

    Yes. I specialize in trauma therapy for women and often use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidence-based treatment for processing traumatic experiences. EMDR can help reduce emotional distress and free you from being stuck in past patterns.

  • How long are therapy sessions and how often do we meet?

    Each therapy session lasts 50 minutes. Most women begin with weekly sessions and may transition to biweekly as progress is made.

  • Do you take insurance for therapy sessions?

    Yes. I accept Aetna, Cigna, Horizon BCBS NJ, United Healthcare and several other insurance plans in New Jersey and Florida. If I’m out-of-network for your plan, I can provide a superbill for possible reimbursement.

  • Is therapy confidential?

    Yes. Your sessions are private and protected by law. I will explain confidentiality and its limits during our first session so you fully understand your rights.

  • Why does working with a BIPOC therapist matter?

    Having a BIPOC therapist can help create a deeper sense of understanding and trust. I recognize the cultural, social, and historical factors that impact women of color, and many clients find it easier to connect with a therapist who shares or understands these experiences.
