Therapy

I provide therapy to youth and young adults struggling with a range of mental health and stress-related challenges.

I treat anxiety, depression, anger, as well as other mood, emotional and social stressors. Through building insight into unhelpful patterns of behavior and thinking, I help clients increase healthy, more adaptive behaviors, and develop effective ways of coping with challenging emotions. 

My approach is embedded in my training in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Insight-Oriented approaches (OIT). I also have extensive experience working with families and providing parent guidance, and so I understand context in which a person is embedded.

  • I do not have training to address issues of disordered eating, psychosis, significant trauma, or children with profound neurodevelopment delays.

    I am trained to treat anxiety, depression, mood disorder presentations, and substance use as well as general stressors someone may be encountering.

    I have received training to support LGBTQ+ populations as well as in the provision of culturally aware therapy.

    Counseling is about a fit between a client and their therapist; therefore, I encourage prospective clients to share openly what type of care they are looking for and to find the right match.

    Please indicate in your message to me what type of care you are seeking, and if I am not trained in this area, I will endeavor to refer you to a suitable provider.

  • Therapy starts with a conversation called an “initial assessment” about what you are experiencing and what goals you have. This initial meeting includes a  'bio-psycho-social assessment’ which is a review of your situation, feelings, behaviors, cultural background, and general medical history. This is done through a series of questions and you may also be asked to complete some questionnaires to help me better understand your situation.

    At the end of this meeting, feedback is then provided to you regarding your circumstances, and a plan is developed collaboratively as to what type of support might be helpful.

    Sessions may be conducted weekly or less frequently depending on your needs and circumstances.

    If you are interested in getting started, please message me through the contact link.

  • I do not accept insurance at this time, and thus sessions will be billed to you and considered out-of-network for insurance purposes. You would be responsible for payment in full; however, I can provide you with an invoice to submit to your insurance company for any reimbursement you are eligible for. Some or all of the costs may be covered. It is recommended that you contact your insurance to determine any coverage eligibility.

    Please reach out to me regarding pricing,

  • Yes. All therapy sessions are confidential and conform to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).

    The telehealth video platform is HIPAA compliant. Therapy sessions are documented in a HIPAA secured electronic-health record (EHR). No one can access your EHR without your written informed consent.

  • All sessions are remote/telehealth video-based. You must be in the state of Massachusetts or New Hampshire at the time of the appointment to be seen (you can reside in another state).

  • If you are a parent or legal guardian looking for therapy for your child, please indicate in your contact message you are looking for services for your child.

    Importantly, due to privacy regulations, certain aspects of your child's therapy may not be shared with you. I will discuss boundaries around confidentiality during the initial evaluation.
