Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. I offer a complimentary 30-minute consultation to learn more about your situation, answer your questions, and determine whether my services are a good fit for your needs.

If you're specifically seeking divorce coaching, I offer a complimentary Discovery Session of up to 45 minutes. This additional time allows us to discuss your goals, explain how coaching works, and determine whether we're a good fit to work together.

If another resource or professional would better serve your needs, I'll let you know and help point you in the right direction.

Yes. All therapy, mediation and divorce coaching services are secure and conducted virtually, allowing you to participate from the comfort and privacy of your own space. Teletherapy and virtual service appointments also provide greater flexibility while eliminating travel time.

Therapy and divorce and family mediation services are available to clients throughout New Jersey.

Divorce coaching is currently available to clients located in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. Coaching is not psychotherapy or mental health treatment and is provided in accordance with applicable state laws and professional ethical standards.

If you live outside NJ, NY and PA, I'd be happy to review your state's applicable laws and professional standards and discuss your situation during a consultation call.

It's completely normal to feel uncertain about what kind of support you need, especially during a major life transition.

During your consultation, we'll talk about your situation, answer your questions, and discuss which service may be the best fit for your needs and goals.

If another resource or professional would better serve you, I'll tell you that, too. My goal is to help you move forward with clarity and confidence, even if that means pointing you in a different direction.

Fees vary depending on the service provided. I offer secure payment methods through Stripe and Zelle. Personal checks are accepted for packaged services and any in-person services.

Therapy is offered on a per-session basis at the rate of $185 per 50-minute session for individuals. Sliding scale may be available.

Divorce coaching and mediation are available as individual sessions or packaged services, depending on your needs. You can explore my divorce coaching and mediation services pages for packaged offers.

I'm happy to discuss fees and available options during your complimentary consultation so you can determine the approach that's right for you.

While both services offer support, they are designed to meet different needs.

Therapy provides a space to heal, gain insight, and work through emotional or mental health concerns. Divorce coaching is designed to help you navigate the divorce process with greater clarity, make thoughtful decisions, and move forward with purpose.

If you're not sure which service is right for you, we'll talk through your goals during your consultation and determine the next most appropriate step.

No. Therapy services are offered on a self-pay basis. If your health insurance plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits, I can provide the documentation needed, referred to as superbill, for you to request reimbursement from your insurance company. Because coverage varies by plan, I encourage you to contact your insurance provider to learn more about your out-of-network benefits.

If you have questions about payment or out-of-network reimbursement, I'm happy to discuss them during your consultation.

Please note that therapy superbills are available for therapy services only and are not provided for divorce coaching or mediation. For divorce coaching and mediation services, I provide a business invoice.

Every person’s story is unique. I work with adults experiencing a wide range of life challenges and transitions. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, struggling with self-esteem and relationship difficulties, coping with anxiety, depression, grief or loss, adjusting to a major life transition, or seeking greater balance and resilience, therapy provides a supportive space to heal, gain insight, build resilience, and move forward with purpose.

If you're unsure whether your concerns are a good fit for my practice, I invite you to reach out. We'll discuss your situation and determine whether my services are right for you.

Yes. Divorce coaching isn't limited to the divorce process itself. It can provide valuable support as you adjust to life after divorce, navigate co-parenting challenges, strengthen communication, adapt to changing family dynamics, and move forward with clarity and purpose.

Whether your divorce was recent or years ago, coaching can help you address current challenges and focus on the next chapter of your life.

Many people begin mediation feeling stuck and wondering whether productive conversations are even possible. You don't have to agree to begin — you only need a willingness to participate in the process.

Mediation provides a respectful, structured environment where difficult conversations can become more productive, helping you explore options, work through disagreements, and reach decisions that support your family's future.

While mediation isn't the right fit for every situation, many families find that it helps reduce conflict, improve communication, and create lasting agreements.

Yes. Mediation is a voluntary process based on the principle of self-determination. Both individuals must be willing to participate and engage in the process.

While you don't have to agree on the issues, both people should be willing to have respectful, productive conversations and explore possible solutions together.

No one can be required to reach an agreement, but mediation provides an opportunity to make informed decisions in a supportive and structured environment.

Many parents begin mediation believing productive conversations aren't possible.

My role is not to make you agree with one another, but to create a respectful, structured process where each person has the opportunity to be heard while working toward practical, child-centered solutions.

You don't have to like each other to build an effective co-parenting relationship.

Yes. Mediation is an effective way to develop a child-centered parenting plan that reflects your family's unique needs and the best interests of your children.

Together, we'll work through important topics such as parenting time schedules, decision-making responsibilities, communication, holidays, vacations, and other matters that support a successful co-parenting relationship.

If you reach an agreement, I'll prepare a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) summarizing the terms of your agreement. You may then share the MOU with your attorney(s) for review and, if appropriate, incorporation into your final legal documents.

Life doesn't stand still, and families naturally evolve over time. As children grow and their developmental, educational, and social needs change, it may become appropriate to revisit child custody and parenting time arrangements.

If both parents are willing to participate, mediation provides a respectful and cost-effective way to review your existing agreement, explore possible adjustments, and develop solutions that reflect your family's current needs.

Many parents find comfort in knowing they can return to mediation as their children grow and family circumstances change. My goal is to help you make thoughtful adjustments that continue to support your children and strengthen your co-parenting relationship.

Yes. Mediation is not a substitute for independent legal advice. I encourage each person to consult with an attorney to better understand their legal rights and responsibilities before making final decisions.

If you reach an agreement through mediation, I strongly recommend that each person have the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) summarizing the terms of your agreement reviewed by an attorney before it is incorporated into a final legal agreement or court order.

Even if you choose to proceed without ongoing attorney representation, consulting with an attorney for a review of your agreement can provide valuable peace of mind.
​

Independent legal advice helps ensure that each person understands the legal implications of the agreements they choose to make, supporting informed decision-making throughout the mediation process.

Mediation can help you work through many of the decisions involved in separation and divorce. Depending on your family’s needs, discussions may include child custody and decision-making responsibilities, parenting plans, parenting time schedules, communication, property division, financial matters, and other important issues to your family.

For families who consider their pets an important part of the family, mediation can also include discussions about pet custody, ongoing care, financial responsibilities, and arrangements that support everyone’s well-being.

Every family's situation is unique. During your consultation, we'll discuss your goals and determine whether mediation is an appropriate process for your needs.
