FAQ

I primarily work with tweens, teens, and young adults. I also support parents and caregivers as part of the process when that feels helpful or needed.

Yes, I often collaborate with parents as part of the therapeutic process. When I’m working with younger clients, I connect with their caregivers regularly. For older teens and young adults, I’ll tailor parent involvement based on the client’s comfort and our shared goals. We’ll talk together about what kind of involvement makes the most sense before beginning therapy.

I support young people navigating ADHD, executive functioning challenges, anxiety, perfectionism, school or academic stress, identity exploration, friendship struggles, family conflict, emotional regulation, and more. I also work with families facing difficult transitions or trying to improve communication at home.

Building a strong, trusting relationship is always my first priority. I aim to create a space where each young person feels seen, respected, and safe to be themselves. I tailor therapy to the needs of each client, blending talk therapy with skill-building, mindfulness, and family work when appropriate.

I’m happy to collaborate with school staff, such as guidance counselors, learning specialists, or teachers, when it’s helpful and appropriate. That might mean offering insight to support a student’s learning or emotional needs, writing letters, or coordinating care. I’ll always get written permission from you (and your child, when applicable) before reaching out to anyone at school.

I’m an out-of-network provider, which means I don’t bill insurance directly. However, I can provide monthly superbills that you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. I’m happy to help you navigate that process if needed.

It really depends on your needs. Some clients come in with a specific short-term goal, while others benefit from longer-term support. There’s no one-size-fits-all timeline—we’ll figure out what feels right for you and your family.

Yes! I offer both in-person and virtual sessions for clients located in Pennsylvania. Some clients prefer the flexibility of video sessions, while others feel more comfortable meeting in person. We can talk about what’s the best fit.

Absolutely. Many clients benefit from continued support during times of change, like moving from middle to high school, starting college, or navigating summer break. I’m available year-round, and we can adjust the frequency or format of sessions to fit your needs during those transitions.

I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice for cancellations. Cancellations made with less notice may be subject to the full session fee.

Yes—with a few important exceptions related to safety and mandated reporting (for example, if someone is at risk of harm). When I’m working with teens, I’m always upfront about what I do and don’t share with parents. My goal is to build trust while also keeping everyone safe and supported.
