My approach is integrative, relational, and humanistic, with collaboration at its core. I am intentional in aligning with the unique needs, goals, and interests of each client. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and work to cultivate trust and safety so that healing can unfold.
In our sessions, clients can expect a compassionate and open space where we will work collaboratively to address what’s important to them. Supporting clients in feeling safe, heard, and validated as they express different parts of themselves is at the core of my practice.
Feel free to text my office at 917-426-1521 with any questions. If using insurance, please note that Expansive Therapy only works with PPO and POS plans as we are out of network providers. We do all the leg work for you - check your benefits, submit claims for you, and advocate for higher reimbursement. Depending on your plan, copays can be as low as $25.
