But here you are, you’re doing it and I’m so glad. You’ve found me — now to determine whether we’re a good fit. If you have questions which aren’t addressed here, or are ready to schedule an intake conversation, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

How do we start?

It begins with this form. We will schedule a phone call for a quick consultation call and go from there. Thank you for your consideration!

Can I see you in person?

I am a fully virtual practice working with folks who reside in Pennsylvania and Florida. I have found virtual therapy work over the last three years to be incredibly fruitful and connective, as well as flexible and convenient!

What does “sliding scale” mean?

I believe therapy should be accessible to everyone who wants it. In order to provide services to as many individuals and families in our community as possible, I ask for your active participation in deciding your contribution. Please bear in mind that we are often socialized to see what we lack better than the big and small privileges we do have. Click here to view the sliding scale I have adopted and see where you might fit.

What approaches do you use?

Some of the approaches I use most frequently are: Attachment-based, Constructivist, Culturally Sensitive, EMDR, Eclectic, Feminist, Humanistic, Narrative, Person-Centered, Relational, Somatic Experiencing, and Strength-Based. The grief theories I utilize are personalized for you — I’m delighted to discuss these further.

Do you only work with grief?

Not even remotely. I know that grief effects all areas of your life and so that is what is open for discussion. In addition to bereavement following a death, I work with ambiguous, anticipatory, and living losses as well as companion animal losses. I’m also well versed in working with issues associated with anxiety, kink, sex work, and non-monogamy — I welcome you to bring your whole self to our sessions.
