Frequently Asked Questions

  • While traditional therapy often focuses on unstructured dialogue, a science-driven approach uses interventions that have been rigorously tested and validated in clinical trials. I utilize a specialized toolkit of evidence-based treatments—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)—to ensure that our work produces meaningful, measurable outcomes.

  • Clinical research provides the framework, but your unique experience dictates the application. I view these methods as sophisticated instruments that are skillfully adapted to your specific goals. This allows us to move beyond symptom management and address the core psychological patterns that impede your progress.

  • For the past decade, I have operated at the intersection of clinical research and direct practice. My research on relationship science and reproductive health has been published in leading peer-reviewed journals, such as The Journal of Sexual Medicine. This background ensures that the care you receive is informed by the most current and rigorous scientific knowledge available.

  • I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in the state of New Jersey. Additionally, I hold an APIT (Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology) through PSYPACT. This credential allows me to provide psychological services to clients located in any of the participating PSYPACT states across the U.S. This authority ensures that, even if you travel or relocate to another participating state, we can maintain the continuity and quality of your care through our secure telehealth platform.

  • I operate as an out-of-network provider. This structure prioritizes your confidentiality and allows for a customized treatment plan that is not dictated or restricted by insurance company mandates.

  • I have partnered with Mentaya to make utilizing your out-of-network benefits as efficient as possible. While you are responsible for the session fee at the time of service, Mentaya manages the claims-submission process on your behalf. This eliminates administrative burden for you, and you will receive reimbursement directly from your insurance provider according to your plan’s benefits.

  • The therapeutic relationship is a primary predictor of success. I offer a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation to discuss your clinical needs, address any logistical concerns, and determine if my expertise aligns with your objectives.
