Virtual Therapy FAQs

We’ll meet through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform at your scheduled time. You’ll need to be in New Jersey, Florida, or South Carolina for the session. Please choose a quiet, private space where you feel comfortable and can focus. For your safety, I’ll confirm your location each week in case emergency services ever need to be contacted.
All you need is a device with a camera and microphone (smartphone, tablet, or computer), a stable internet connection, and a private space where you can speak freely.
Yes—virtual therapy can be just as effective as in-person. Many clients find it easier to open up from the comfort of their own home. I use the same evidence-based approaches virtually as I do in person.
If a tech issue interrupts our session, we’ll troubleshoot together or reschedule if needed.

Walk & Talk therapy takes place outdoors in Middlesex County, NJ, and surrounding areas. We’ll walk side-by-side on a trail or in a park while engaging in therapeutic conversation. Movement, nature, and therapy combine to create a more grounded, open experience.
Not at all. Walk & Talk sessions are paced to your comfort level—whether that’s a slow stroll or a steady walk. The focus is on conversation, not exercise.
If the weather isn’t suitable (rain, extreme heat, snow), we’ll switch to a virtual session for that week.
Sessions are held on peaceful trails, parks, and gardens in and around Middlesex County, NJ. We’ll discuss locations during your consultation to find what feels most comfortable for you.
Dress for comfort and the weather—comfortable shoes, weather-appropriate clothing, and a water bottle are recommended.
Confidentiality is a top priority, but because sessions take place in public spaces, it cannot be fully guaranteed. We’ll talk through these limits in advance and I’ll adjust the setting if needed to protect your privacy.

I operate on a self-pay, out-of-network basis. Payment is due at the time of service. Many clients successfully submit superbills to their insurance provider for reimbursement. To make the process easier, I’ve partnered with Thrizer, a platform that streamlines out-of-network benefits so you only pay your copay upfront.
Coverage for Walk & Talk varies by provider. If you’re interested in submitting for reimbursement, I’ll provide the necessary documentation. If it’s not covered, we can discuss affordable self-pay options.
Yes. In line with federal law, I provide all self-pay clients with a Good Faith Estimate that outlines the anticipated costs of therapy. This ensures transparency and helps you plan for your care.
Thrizer is a payment platform designed specifically for therapy clients. It allows you to use your out-of-network benefits without the hassle of submitting claims yourself. Instead of waiting weeks for reimbursement, Thrizer simplifies the process by paying your therapist in full and only charging you your co-insurance amount (what you would normally owe after insurance).
This means:
- No more dealing with paperwork or claim forms
- You only pay what you truly owe, not the full session fee up front
- A smoother, stress-free way to use your benefits
By using Thrizer, therapy becomes more accessible and affordable while giving you the freedom to choose the right provider for your needs. Thizer: https://www.thrizer.com/help/faq

Under the law, you have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” (GFE) explaining the expected cost of your mental health services.

You are entitled to a GFE if you are uninsured or if you choose not to use insurance.
The GFE will include an estimate of the total expected cost of services based on the information available at the time.
This estimate is not a contract—it is simply meant to give you clarity about potential costs.

The best way is to schedule a free 15-minute consultation. We’ll discuss your needs, my approach, and whether we feel like a good match.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, stress, and relationship challenges. My goal is to help you build resilience, find balance, and reconnect with your strengths.
