INTEGRATIVE PSYCHOTHERAPY SERVICES | ADULT INDIVIDUALS & COUPLES
My Services
I provide psychotherapy to adult individuals and couples in New York, New Jersey, and Florida through secure telehealth. My approach is integrative and mindfulness-informed, drawing from multiple evidence-based frameworks to address the whole of your experience.
THE FRAMEWORK
An Integrative Approach
Effective therapy requires more than one element in isolation. Insight without practical tools can leave you stuck in analysis. Strategies without self-understanding can feel hollow or short-lived. Support without depth may validate your experience but not help you transform it.
I draw from the following perspectives to create a therapeutic process that is both cohesive and comprehensive:
-
We explore underlying patterns, early relational experiences, and the internal dynamics that shape your emotional life. This work helps you understand why certain thoughts, feelings, and behaviors persist, even when they no longer serve you.
This approach may include:
• Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
• Object Relations Theory
• Attachment-Based Therapy -
The therapeutic relationship becomes a space where you can be fully seen without judgment. This environment of safety and genuine attunement allows for exploration, self-acceptance, and the confidence to engage more authentically.
This approach may include:
• Person-Centered Therapy
• Existential Therapy
• Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) -
We identify practical strategies to help you respond differently to thoughts and feelings in your daily life. You learn to recognize unhelpful patterns and build new responses. This translates insight into concrete action, creating real-world change.
This approach may include:
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Behavioral Activation
• Cognitive Restructuring -
These contemporary approaches integrate cognitive-behavioral principles with mindfulness, emphasizing changing your relationship with difficult experiences rather than trying to eliminate them.
This approach may include:
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
• Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
THE GUIDING PRINCIPLE
Mindfulness as the Lens
Underlying all of these frameworks is an orientation of mindfulness. Mindfulness teaches you to observe your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment, bringing greater presence, awareness, and intention to the entire therapeutic process.
Mindful psychotherapy integrates concepts and practices from Eastern traditions with evidence-based therapeutic approaches. Mindfulness and psychotherapy, combined in this way, allow for deep self-awareness and lasting psychological change.
Over time, mindfulness extends far beyond what happens in session and becomes a way of being.
Therapy for Individuals
Therapy for individuals is a collaborative process focused on understanding what drives your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and developing the capacity to respond to them with greater awareness and intention.
-
Adults who are self-aware and motivated to engage deeply in therapy. You may have tried managing concerns on your own but find that these efforts are no longer creating the shifts you're seeking.
-
Exploring Your Inner World
We examine the beliefs, emotions, and relational experiences shaping your struggles, building awareness of what drives your responses.Developing Practical Tools
You learn evidence-based strategies for managing difficult emotions, interrupting unhelpful patterns, and making more intentional choices.Integrating Change
We translate insight into action, helping you align your daily life with your values and respond with greater presence and clarity. -
Greater self-understanding, reduced reactivity, increased confidence and self-compassion, and the capacity to live with more intention and alignment.
Therapy for Couples
Therapy for couples provides a structured space to understand what fuels your conflicts, strengthen your connection, and build a more resilient partnership.
-
Couples experiencing recurring cycles of conflict, communication breakdowns, or emotional distance who recognize that something needs to shift but feel uncertain about how to move forward.
-
Understanding Your Dynamic
We identify the recurring patterns leading to conflict and disconnection, learn how to slow down and step out of the cycle before it escalates, and foster compassion for one another's experience.Creating New Patterns
You learn to identify and express your deeper needs and emotions, respond to one another from a place of vulnerability rather than defense, and experience being met with openness rather than reactivity.Sustaining Change
Together, you apply the new ways of communicating and connecting to challenges that once triggered conflict, building a relationship grounded in the security and understanding you've developed. -
Greater clarity about your dynamic as a couple, improved communication and repair skills, deeper emotional connection and trust, and a relationship with the resilience to navigate challenges together.

Insurance
I am an out-of-network provider, which means I am not credentialed with any insurance companies and I do not accept insurance directly. If you have out-of-network benefits through your insurance, you may be reimbursed for a portion of session fees.
I offer courtesy billing, which means I can submit claims to your insurance company on your behalf. This speeds up reimbursement and removes the need to handle the paperwork yourself. If you prefer to submit your own claims, I can provide a monthly superbill instead.
If you're unsure what your plan covers, I can verify your benefits for you before we begin.
Good Faith Estimate
A Good Faith Estimate of expected costs is available to you, and will be provided when we schedule your first session.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
I work with adult individuals and couples in New York, New Jersey, and Florida, where I am licensed. While you don't need to reside in these states, you do have to be physically located there during our sessions.
-
Research consistently finds that virtual therapy is as effective as in-person therapy for most concerns. My practice has been fully virtual since March of 2020, and my experience reflects what the research shows. Most of my clients have come to prefer it, finding that meeting from their own space offers both comfort and convenience.
-
There is no single answer; it depends on what brings you to therapy and what you want from it. Some people come with a specific concern and find that several months of focused work is enough. Others stay longer because they find the process valuable in its own right, and because there is always room for continued growth and self-exploration. We will revisit your goals as we go, and the length of our work is always yours to decide.
-
No. You do not need any experience with mindfulness in order to work with me. Far more important than experience is a simple openness to the ideas. As long as you are willing, I can help you with the rest. Meditation is never a requirement, though I am a strong believer in its benefits. In my experience, a daily practice makes a real difference when you are trying to manage emotions and gain clarity.
