The Therapeutic Container
A warm, thoughtful space tailored to where you are right now.
Life can ask more of us than our existing coping tools were built to carry. Whether you are navigating an unexpected crossroads, wrestling with an unrelenting inner critic, or carrying the chronic weight of anxiety, seeking therapy is an act of deep self-respect.
My practice is grounded in genuine empathy, clinical rigor, and profound respect for your pace. You never have to perform, minimize what you feel, or figure everything out on your own.
- Zero clinical jargon or cold detachment
- Evidence-informed, individualized pacing
- Collaborative, strengths-based goals

Common Inquiries
Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to help you feel informed and confident about starting care.
What happens at the first appointment?
Your first appointment is a full session. It is an unhurried, collaborative conversation about what brings you to therapy, what you have already tried, and what you are hoping for — and a chance to see whether the fit feels right before going further.
Do you accept health insurance directly?
Yes. We accept Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Capital Blue Cross, Highmark, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, Optum Health, and Geisinger Health Plan. Coverage varies by plan, so we recommend contacting your insurer to confirm your behavioral-health benefits, copay and deductible before your first appointment.
Do you offer in-person sessions or telehealth?
Both options are available. In-person therapy takes place at our East Stroudsburg office (528 Seven Bridge Road, STE 132) or our Allentown office (1275 Glenlivet Drive, Suite 100). Telehealth sessions are conducted via an encrypted, HIPAA-compliant video platform for clients located in Pennsylvania.
