FAQ

What do you Specialize in?

I specialize in treating children, teens and their families. I have a passion for working with teens and young adults with mental health issues and challenges in adjusting to new phases of life. I have experience working with a variety of mental health issues including anxiety, depression, PTSD, attachment and adjustment. I believe in forming a partnership with my clients and approaching the therapeutic journey together. Clients take an active role in developing treatment goals so that I can ensure that their voice is heard all through treatment. I believe all individuals have the ability to grow, change and live happy and fulfilling lives.

Is Therapy Right for Me?

I am a firm believer that Therapy is right for everyone. Therapy is a place to explore your thoughts, feelings and worry without fear of judgement or shame. There are many different reasons people chose to start therapy, I feel that at the core of every decision the Client has to have a desire to change. It is my job to help the Client figure out what is standing in the way of their happiness.


People chose to come to therapy for a number of reasons. For some individuals it is to address long-standing mental health struggles such as depression, anxiety, Bi-polar disorder and PTSD. Other individuals seek out therapy during times of transition or stress such as divorce, loss of a loved one, graduating school, bullying or trauma. Therapy is right for anyone who has a desire to learn more about themselves, seeking to alleviate stress and find ways to improve their lives.

What does a session look like?

Sessions are held online using a secure HIPPA compliant platform. When you confirm your appointment the day prior you will receive a personalized link for your session which you can open on your computer or smartphone.


Session structure can vary based on the individual, a typical session includes a review of the week, discussion of stressors, and interventions based on the treatment plan goals. For younger clients I utilize online games to boost engagement such as Roblox.


When is Therapy Over?


Healing is not linear, and mental wellness is not a gym exercise to be optimized with repetitions. This makes it hard to set a date for when therapy is 'over' as it is unique to each individual. I believe that therapy is a personal progress where Client's can gain tools to better manage the challenges present in their lives so that when stressors arise they are able to conquer them rather than be debilitated by them. In my work with clients as we start to reach a point of 'mastery' in coping we begin reducing the number of sessions (biweekly/monthly etc). This is done through a process of check-ins and coaching sessions to prepare for discharge. Of course, after therapy is completed there is always the option to come back, should additional stress arise.

How Much Does Therapy Cost?


I accept Cigna, Aetna, Optum, BCBS and Tuffs insurance. If I am not able to take your insurance I do offer private pay as an option, my rates are as follows:



I bill $200 for an intake session and $130 for a 50 minute session going forward. I do offer a free 15 minute consultation call prior to making an intake appointment. 


I accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards,  I provide you with a statement at the end of each month that you can submit to your insurance company.

What days and hours can I schedule appointments?

At this time I am offering appointments from Monday through Thursday daytime and evening. I strive to accommodate all schedules, when reaching out please indicate your availability.

Do you offer in person sessions?

I do not offer in person sessions at this time as I am working from a home office.

What if I don't feel like this is a good fit?

This is an understandable concern when starting counseling. I offer a free 15 minute consultation session before we begin so that you are able to ask questions and get a feel for what working with me will be like.


If as time progresses and it doesn't feel like a good fit, I welcome these conversations for feedback and will happily provide a list of referrals for alternatives places to seek counseling services.
