FAQs
Quick answers. Clear next steps.
Individual therapy is a fit if you want support navigating a challenging situation, past trauma, or you’re ready to move in a new direction. The work is structured and practical: we build skills and change patterns that keep you stuck.
My style is solution-oriented, warm, and empowering. Core skill areas include mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.
I’m based in Massachusetts and provide telehealth. I currently support clients located in MA, TX, FL, NC, SC, and MI, based on my licensing as of now.
We get clear on what brings you in, what you want to change, what you’ve tried, and what’s keeping the problem going. You’ll leave with a plan for next steps and what we’ll focus on first.
Yes. You can book a brief consultation to ask questions and see if we’re a good fit before committing to ongoing sessions.
Fees and payment options (insurance, out-of-pocket, and out-of-network reimbursement) are explained on my Rates & Insurance page. If you want the simplest path, start there and then reach out if anything is unclear.
If your plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits, you may be reimbursed for part of your session fee. You typically pay upfront, then your plan reimburses after the claim is processed. I can provide documentation (often called a superbill) when appropriate. I also partner with Mentaya to help clients verify benefits and estimate reimbursement.
For individual therapy, I accept most major commercial insurance plans depending on availability for insurance-based slots. If I’m not in-network with your plan, you can still work with me out-of-pocket and may be able to use out-of-network benefits.
I’m a licensed professional counselor and a measure-based provider focused on evidence-backed care. I’m based in Cambridge, MA and take a results-driven approach designed to help you regain balance, build healthier behaviors, and navigate life with more confidence.
My clinical foundation includes DBT as a primary modality and Gottman Method training. My background includes graduate training in clinical mental health counseling and multiple certifications listed on my About page.
