Frequently Asked Questions
-
This practice works with adults navigating chronic illness, gut health concerns, autoimmune conditions, and the emotional weight that comes with living in a body that feels unpredictable. We also work with adults experiencing stress, burnout, anxiety, trauma, and persistent patterns that have been difficult to shift through traditional approaches.
-
Sessions draw on Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing, and psychodynamic relational therapy within a trauma-informed, mind-body framework. Treatment is dynamic and shaped by your history, your presenting concerns, and your goals, not a predetermined protocol.
-
Yes. Through PsyPact, we are authorized to provide telehealth services across 43 jurisdictions. View the full list of participating locations on the PsyPact map. In-person sessions are offered in the Miami, Florida area.
-
Collaborative, honest, and straightforward. We're here to guide the process, bring ideas to the table, and keep things moving.
-
If your diagnosis has changed how you feel about your body, your future, or your day-to-day life, therapy can help you process that and find ways to feel more like yourself again. You don’t need a specific diagnosis or symptoms that feel “bad enough” to reach out.
-
Living with a chronic illness affects more than your body. It can bring anxiety, grief, identity shifts, and exhaustion from constantly managing your health. Therapy gives you a space to process all of that, cope with medical uncertainty, and find ways to feel more like yourself again alongside your diagnosis.
-
No. I work with a wide range of concerns, including chronic and complex medical conditions such as autoimmune disorders and GI issues, as well as general mental health conditions like anxiety and depression. What matters most is how you’re feeling, not the specific diagnosis.
-
Sessions are collaborative and tailored to you. We might talk through a recent medical appointment, work through anxiety about symptoms or the future, or use body-based techniques to help you feel calmer and more grounded. There’s no one-size-fits-all format.
-
This varies depending on your goals. Some clients come for a short period during a flare-up or major transition, while others prefer ongoing support over time. We’ll check in regularly about what’s working and adjust as needed.
-
Yes. Many clients come in without a specific problem to solve. They’re already meeting their responsibilities and performing well, but they want more: a clearer sense of direction, insight into the patterns shaping their decisions, or a more intentional relationship with their work and life. This kind of work often has less to do with relieving distress and more to do with building self-awareness and the psychological resilience that helps you sustain both performance and fulfillment over time.
-
No, I am a self-pay (out-of-network) practice. This allows for more personalized, flexible care that isn’t limited by insurance requirements. See below for more on the benefits of working with an out-of-network provider.
-
Working with an out-of-network provider means your care stays private and isn’t dictated by an insurance company. You and I decide together how often we meet, what kind of support makes sense, and how long treatment lasts, rather than an insurer setting those limits. It also means access to specialized, individualized care focused on your specific needs rather than a one-size-fits-all treatment plan.
-
Yes. I work with clients navigating IBS, IBD, and other GI conditions, helping address the anxiety, stress, and mind-body patterns that often come with chronic gut health issues.
-
Yes. I work with adults experiencing chronic stress and burnout, whether it’s tied to work, caregiving, or managing a demanding life. Therapy can help you identify what’s driving the exhaustion and build sustainable, realistic ways to recover.
-
IFS is an evidence-based approach that helps you understand and work with different parts of yourself, like the part that feels anxious or the part that pushes you to keep going no matter what. It can help you feel more integrated, self-compassionate, and in control.
-
Yes. I provide psychological assessments for a variety of needs. Reach out for more information about what’s involved and whether it’s the right fit for you.
