Walk & Talk Therapy
For New Jersey Residents
Sessions take place in the surrounding areas of Middlesex County, NJ, providing a serene and relaxed environment to help reduce stress, boost mood, and encourage open conversation.
Walk-and-talk therapy is a dynamic approach that combines the therapeutic benefits of conversation with the healing power of movement. During these sessions, we meet outdoors and walk together, allowing you to engage in meaningful dialogue while enjoying the natural environment. This approach encourages a more relaxed and open conversation, making it easier to explore your thoughts, emotions, and challenges.
The rhythm of walking can help reduce stress, promote creativity, and enhance mental clarity, creating a unique space for reflection and self-discovery. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, life transitions, or simply looking to improve your overall well-being, walk-and-talk therapy offers an alternative to traditional office settings, allowing you to feel more grounded and connected throughout the therapeutic process.
If you're someone who enjoys being outside and values movement as part of your healing, walk-and-talk therapy may be a perfect fit for you. Each session is customized to meet your individual needs, ensuring that we work at your pace to build resilience, develop coping strategies, and move forward with confidence.
Let’s take that first step together on the journey toward healing and growth.

Walk-and-talk therapy combines therapy with the healing power of nature and movement. During sessions, we take a walk in a natural setting, helping reduce stress and promote clarity. The rhythm of walking can make it easier to open up and reflect, making this approach ideal for those seeking a more dynamic and relaxed therapeutic experience.
Walk-and-talk therapy sessions are available in various lengths to suit your needs and schedule. Whether you prefer a shorter, more focused session or a longer, more in-depth conversation, I offer flexible options to support your therapeutic journey.
45-minute session: A great option for those looking for a balanced session, offering enough time to dive into key topics while fitting into a busy schedule. Session Cost $185.00.
60-minute session: The most common length, allowing ample time for deeper exploration, discussion, and goal-setting. Session Cost $210.00.
90-minute session: Perfect for more comprehensive work, particularly if you’d like to explore multiple topics or have more time to reflect. Session Cost $260.00.
120-minute session: For those seeking an extended, immersive experience, allowing time for detailed exploration of complex issues or deeper therapeutic work. Session Cost $310.00.
Pricing is based on session length. Since I operate on a private pay basis and am out-of-network with insurance, I offer a superbill, upon request, that clients can submit to their insurance provider for potential reimbursement.
I understand that dealing with insurance can feel overwhelming, and I’m here to help make the process easier for you. If you have out-of-network (OON) benefits, I can assist in verifying your coverage and exploring your options. To simplify things further, I’ve partnered with Thrizer, a platform that streamlines payments and claim submissions. With Thrizer, you’ll only need to pay your copay at the time of your session, and the platform will take care of submitting your OON claims.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions about session lengths or pricing. I’m here to help!
