Questions about what it’s like
to work together?

Your first session is a 50-minute intake and treatment-planning session. We’ll spend time getting to know each other, talking about what brings you to therapy, and beginning to understand what you’re hoping for.

Most importantly, this isn’t a session where you need to worry about making progress. We’re building a connection, getting a sense of what you need, and figuring out where to start together.

We’ll typically start by meeting once a week so we have enough consistency to build momentum. Over time, we’ll meet at least once every two weeks, depending on what makes sense for you and the work we’re doing.

There isn’t one set timeline for therapy. The length of therapy varies from person to person and depends on the goals we set together. As you make progress, our work may naturally shift to meeting less often and focusing more on maintenance — continuing to support the progress you’ve worked hard to build.

That’s completely okay. You don’t need to walk into therapy with the perfect explanation of what’s wrong or a neatly organized list of things to work on.

We can start with what you’ve been noticing — the overthinking, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, relationship struggles, feeling overwhelmed, or simply the sense that something needs to change — and get curious from there.

You don’t need to diagnose yourself before reaching out. We can explore whether OCD fits what you’re experiencing and look at the patterns underneath what’s been happening.

If you’ve been stuck questioning whether your thoughts, fears, or behaviors are “OCD enough,” you’re not alone. We can slow things down and figure it out together.

Yes. I use ERP-informed strategies when appropriate, along with other evidence-informed approaches that fit your goals and what you’re experiencing.

I believe this work should be done at a thoughtful, gentle pace. We’ll work together to understand the OCD cycle, build tolerance for uncertainty, and practice responding differently in a way that feels purposeful and manageable.

Often, yes. OCD and trauma can overlap in complicated ways, and both can shape how you experience safety, uncertainty, relationships, and yourself.

We’ll determine together what makes the most sense to prioritize. At the same time, working with OCD and trauma doesn’t always mean putting one completely on hold while we address the other. When appropriate, both can be part of the work at the same time.

Yes! While much of my work naturally centers around women navigating OCD, anxiety, trauma, relationships, and the pressure to hold everything together, I work with clients of all genders.

What matters most to me is creating a space where you feel understood, respected, and comfortable being yourself.

Yes! I offer telehealth for clients who are located in Pennsylvania. Telehealth gives you the option to meet from the comfort of your own space, without adding another trip into an already-full day.

We’ll meet through a secure online platform, and you’ll have the same one-on-one, personalized therapy experience you would have in the office — just from wherever you feel most comfortable.

I offer in-person therapy in Scranton, PA, as well as telehealth throughout Pennsylvania.

We can talk about which option feels like the best fit for you during your consultation.

I completely understand that life happens. A late cancellation is a cancellation made within 24 hours of your scheduled appointment time. Late cancellations and no-shows result in a $50 fee for the missed session.

That said, I know that sometimes things are genuinely out of your control or an unexpected situation comes up. If you’re able to reschedule your appointment within the same week, the cancellation fee will be waived.

My self-pay rate is $125 per session. I am currently in network with Highmark, Optum, Geisinger, and Aetna.

If you’re using insurance, your out-of-pocket cost will depend on your specific plan and benefits. I recommend checking with your insurance company before your first appointment so you know what to expect.
