Availability

Monday - Friday8 AM  - 1 PM (ET)I am based in Boston, Massachusetts.

Location (Telehealth)

I conduct all my client sessions exclusively through Zoom video meetings (HIPAA-compliant) to ensure accessibility, flexibility, confidentiality, and consistency. I'm a licensed psychotherapist based in Boston, Massachusetts, and hold licenses a clinical social worker in Massachusetts (LICSW #123987), Oregon (LCSW #L14216), and Florida (LCSW #TPSW3510).

Appointment

I primiarly schedule sessions on either a once-weekly or twice-weekly basis, with appointments held at the same time each week. Each session is a one-hour appointment, ending early to allow you time for a comfortable transition back to your day. Non-weekly sessions, such as every other week, once a month, or as needed, are possible. However, there is no guarantee of consistent openings for appointments, as I reserve appointment spots only for weekly sessions. I charge $100 for each same-day cancellation or no-show. Otherwise, it’s free to cancel. Please note that if you use insurance to cover therapy, this fee cannot be covered by your insurance and is solely your responsibility.

Do You Accept Health Insurance?

If you're currently living in Massachusetts, I accept BCBS insurance. Otherwise, I only accept private pay. I'm happy to provide paperwork for out-of-network reimbursement if you're eligible. 

If you plan to use your insurance, please call the BCBS insurance customer service line directly to verify and confirm that 1) your BCBS insurance plan is your "primary insurance", and 2) it covers psychotherapy services. This step is important to ensure your sessions will be covered and to avoid surprise bills in the future.

Do You Provide Telehealth Exclusively?

Yes. I exclusively provide telehealth services through Zoom to ensure accessibility, flexibility, and consistency for all clients. I currently have no intentions of returning to in-person sessions because telehealth allows me to offer drop-in, additional, or urgent sessions, which saves clients the time they would otherwise spend on commuting. I am based in Boston, Massachusetts.

Do You Offer Short-Term Therapy?

Yes. While I specialize in long-term psychotherapy, I understand that some clients may benefit from or prefer shorter therapy. Whether you're going through a specific life event or just need a few sessions to navigate a particular challenge, I'm here to support you.

Do You Charge a Late-Cancellation Fee?

Yes. In my practice, cancelling your appointment up to 24 hours in advance is free. However, please note that a flat fee of $100 will be charged for same-day cancellations or no-shows. This fee compensates for half of the financial loss incurred since same-day cancellations do not allow me to offer the slot to others.
