FAQ

Do you take insurance?

I am out-of-network for all insurance companies, but most plans offer excellent reimbursement for my services. We've partnered with Reimbursify to make the process simple: you pay session fees upfront, we submit all claims through Reimbursify, and reimbursement goes directly to you — typically within 2–6 weeks. Most clients receive 40–90% back. Want to check your specific benefits? Contact us and we'll send you a quick form to get started.

Can couples therapy help after infidelity or betrayal?

Yes — and it's one of my primary specializations. Betrayal trauma is a nervous system injury, not just a relationship problem, and it requires a trauma-informed approach to heal properly. I work with couples navigating infidelity, deception, and broken trust using an integrated approach that combines EMDR trauma therapy with Gottman Method couples therapy — addressing both the individual trauma and the relationship damage simultaneously.

What is Gottman Method couples therapy?

The Gottman Method is one of the most researched and evidence-based approaches to couples therapy available. Developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman over four decades of research, it focuses on building friendship, managing conflict, and creating shared meaning in relationships. As a Certified Gottman Therapist — one of a small number to hold this credential — I use this method to help couples move from cycles of conflict and disconnection toward lasting trust and intimacy.

What is EMDR therapy, and how does it work for couples?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a gold-standard, evidence-based therapy for trauma. It works by helping the brain reprocess distressing memories so they lose their emotional charge. In couples work, I use EMDR both individually—to address each partner's trauma history—and in integrated couples sessions, making it particularly effective for relationships where one or both partners carry wounds from childhood, past relationships, or betrayal.

Do you offer online therapy / telehealth?

Yes. I offer telehealth therapy to clients across all states where I am licensed, including California, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts, Maryland, Rhode Island, Ohio, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia, Washington DC, and Texas. All sessions are conducted via a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform.

Who do ou work with?

I work with adults, teens, couples, and families. My primary focus is couples therapy, particularly for high-conflict relationships, couples healing from infidelity or betrayal, and partnerships where one or both partners have a trauma history. I am especially experienced supporting high-achieving individuals and couples navigating the intersection of professional demands and relational challenges. I also work extensively with clients who present with narcissistic and/or borderline traits or full personality disorder diagnoses.

Which states are you licensed to practice therapy in?

I am currently licensed to practice therapy in California, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts, Maryland, Rhode Island, Ohio, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia, Washington, DC, and Texas.

How long does couples therapy take?

Most of my couples therapy clients experience real, felt results quickly—often within the first few sessions. For couples working through high conflict or betrayal trauma, I typically recommend weekly therapy for 3–6 months as a foundation, with a clear treatment plan from day one. As a specialist in couples trauma therapy, I focus on getting you results as efficiently as possible—not keeping you in therapy longer than necessary.

How do I know if we need couples therapy or coaching?

Most couples in search of support are truly in need of hands-on therapy, which addresses mental health symptoms and emotional distress that impact daily functioning.

I also offer couples coaching as a supplemental option for couples who are on their healing journey and want support through life transitions, goal-setting, and developing new relationship habits.

Couples coaching is a good fit if you're not experiencing significant symptoms — like flashbacks or deep despair — that interfere with key areas of functioning such as work or school. If you're struggling with more intensive challenges and need clinical intervention and accountability, therapy is likely a better fit.

Couples coaching can be a wonderful complement to therapy, or a great option for couples who have done therapeutic work and want ongoing support for growth and goal achievement.
