Frequently Asked Question
What is insomnia and how do I know if I have it?
Insomnia disorder involves dissatisfaction with your sleep quality or quantity. You may experience difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, and/or waking up too early in the morning without being able to return to sleep. If it sounds familiar and you feel like your sleep difficulties also lead to problems during the day, you may want to consult with a mental health professional who specializes in the treatment of insomnia.
How can you help me with my sleep difficulties?
Once we have met for a comprehensive initial evaluation and established that you suffer from insomnia, we will begin a course of CBT-I (cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia). This is a short-term, evidence-based treatment that targets the factors that maintain your sleep difficulties.
What is psychodynamic psychotherapy?
Psychodynamic psychotherapy aims to explore your experience of yourself and the world around you. This includes experiences that are typically out of conscious awareness, yet impact your thoughts, behaviors, emotions, and relationships. Psychodynamic therapy can be delivered in several ways, such as time-limited or open-ended, and studies have shown its effectiveness.

Insurance Information
I am an in-network provider for Aetna, CareConnect, Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Medicare. For all other plans, I am an out-of-network provider. Many insurance plans cover out-of-network healthcare services, but the reimbursement process is slightly different. In either case, I suggest calling your insurance plan (the number on the back of your insurance card) to clarify your benefits prior to our first meeting.
some of the questions you may want to ask:
Rates
My rates are competitive, and I offer a number of sliding-scale spots. Please call and I will be happy to discuss my rates with you.
Cancellation Policy
I request a 24-hour notice.
Payment
By cash, check, or credit card.
