Many of the clients I work with are thoughtful, self-aware people who may look like they’re managing things pretty well on the outside, while feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, burned out, or stuck underneath.

My approach is warm, collaborative, trauma-informed, and integrative. I combine evidence-based therapy with a holistic perspective, tailoring our work to you rather than expecting you to fit into one particular approach.

Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you or telling you how to live your life. We’ll get curious together about what’s happening beneath the surface, notice patterns, connect some of the pieces, build practical tools, and help you better understand and trust yourself.

You don’t need to have all the answers before you arrive. You get to show up as you are.

Yes! I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so we can get to know each other a little and see if we might be a good fit.

You don’t need to prepare anything in advance, and you don’t need to share your entire story. I’ll ask a few questions about what’s bringing you to therapy, what you’re hoping for, and what you’re looking for in a therapist. You’ll also have a chance to ask me questions and get a feel for what it might be like to work together.

If it feels like a good fit, we can talk about next steps. If not, that’s completely okay too.

I offer both! You can choose what feels most comfortable and convenient for you.

Telehealth: I provide virtual therapy to clients located throughout Massachusetts. Because of licensing requirements, you must be physically located in Massachusetts at the time of our session. I also ask that you join from a private space where you feel comfortable speaking freely.

In-person: I offer in-person therapy at my office in Danvers, Massachusetts, conveniently located near Route 128 with ample parking.

Accessibility note: My office is located on the second floor and is primarily accessible by stairs. If you have accessibility needs, please contact me before scheduling so we can discuss available accommodations.

Yes! I am currently in-network with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts (BCBS), Carelon Behavioral Health, Cigna, Curative, Harvard Pilgrim, Tufts, and WellPoint.

More plans are coming soon! I am currently working toward independent credentialing with Optum.

Because coverage can vary by plan, I recommend contacting your insurance company directly to confirm that I am in-network with your specific plan and to learn more about your mental health benefits, including any deductible, copay, or coinsurance.

If I am out-of-network with your insurance plan, I can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

You’re welcome to work with me on a self-pay basis. My 2026 self-pay rate for individual therapy is $160 per session. Please note that my self-pay rates are reviewed and typically increase on an annual basis.

I do not currently offer a sliding-scale fee.

Some clients choose self-pay because they don’t have insurance, I’m not in-network with their plan, or they simply prefer not to use their insurance for therapy.

If I’m out-of-network with your insurance plan, I can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Reimbursement is not guaranteed, so I recommend checking directly with your insurance company about your out-of-network mental health benefits.

If you are uninsured or choosing not to use insurance, you also have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of the expected cost of your care under federal law. You can learn more on my Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate page.

The easiest place to start is by scheduling a free 15-minute consultation call. This gives us a chance to briefly talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, what you’re looking for, and whether we might be a good fit.

If you decide you’d like to move forward, we’ll discuss scheduling your first therapy appointment and next steps.

You can schedule a consultation through the Book Your Free 15-Minute Consultation Call button on this website.

If you don’t see a time that works for you, please feel free to email me directly with your availability, and we can find another time that works for you.

I require at least 48 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment.

Appointments canceled or rescheduled with less than 48 hours’ notice, as well as missed appointments/no-shows, are subject to a $160 late cancellation/no-show fee. Insurance does not cover missed appointment fees, so this cost is the client’s responsibility.

If you arrive late, you’re welcome to use the remaining time in your scheduled session; however, sessions will still end at their originally scheduled time. If you arrive more than 15 minutes late, the appointment may need to be rescheduled and may be subject to the cancellation policy.

I understand that emergencies and unforeseen circumstances happen, and exceptions may be considered on a case-by-case basis at my discretion.

Your first therapy session is typically about 60 minutes.

Before we meet, I’ll ask you to complete a holistic intake along with other relevant practice and policy paperwork. This gives me some background before we sit down together and helps us use our first session more meaningfully.

During our first meeting, we’ll talk through some of the main parts of your intake, including what’s bringing you to therapy, what you’re hoping to get out of our work together, and the therapy styles, techniques, or approaches you may be open to exploring.

We’ll also talk about anything else you think would be helpful for me to know as we begin working together. You don’t need to tell me your entire life story in the first hour or have everything figured out before you arrive.

The first session is really about beginning to get to know you, understanding what you need, and starting to figure out what our work together might look like.

No. As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), I do not prescribe medication.

If you’re interested in exploring medication as part of your mental health care, I’m happy to help you identify potential prescribing providers and can reach out within my professional networks for possible referral options.

If you are already working with a prescriber, I can also collaborate with them as part of your care when appropriate and with your written permission.

Individual therapy sessions are typically 53 minutes.

Many clients begin with weekly sessions to build momentum and establish a strong foundation for our work together. Depending on your needs, goals, progress, and circumstances, we may eventually decide together that meeting biweekly or less frequently makes sense.

How often we meet isn’t one-size-fits-all. We’ll regularly check in about what feels helpful and appropriate for you.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The length of therapy depends on what brings you in, your goals, what we’re working on together, and what feels helpful to you.

Some people come to therapy to work through a specific concern or transition, while others find value in longer-term therapy that allows more time to explore patterns, relationships, past experiences, and personal growth.

We’ll check in along the way about how therapy is feeling, the progress you’re making, and whether your needs or goals have changed.

You’re not committing to therapy forever when you start. The goal is for therapy to be useful and meaningful for you—not to keep you in therapy longer than you need or want to be.

Yes—but “homework” can mean a lot of different things in therapy.

Therapy is intended to help you outside of the therapy room, so part of getting the most out of our work together involves practicing and applying what we explore during sessions in your everyday life.

Depending on what we’re working on and what you’re open to, that might include practicing a coping skill, trying something differently, noticing a pattern, completing a worksheet or reflection exercise, journaling, or experimenting with a specific task between sessions.

If you enjoy more structured activities like worksheets, exercises, or specific tasks, those are definitely things I often incorporate into my work with clients.

The goal isn’t to give you another thing to be perfect at. It’s to help what we’re doing in therapy actually translate into your life.

Yes. Your privacy and confidentiality are an important part of therapy. In general, what you share with me in therapy stays private and cannot be disclosed without your written permission.

There are, however, certain circumstances in which I may be legally or ethically required to disclose information without your consent. These include situations involving suspected abuse or neglect of a child, elder, or disabled person, or circumstances involving an imminent risk of serious harm to yourself or another person.

There may also be limited circumstances in which disclosure is required by law, such as in response to certain court orders.

I’ll review confidentiality and its limits with you as part of the informed-consent process, and you’re always welcome to ask questions about how your information is protected.

Your personal health information is kept private and handled in accordance with applicable privacy laws, including HIPAA.

Information related to your therapy—including your records, diagnoses, treatment information, and other protected health information—is not shared with others without your written authorization except when permitted or required by law.

If you use insurance, certain information may need to be shared with your insurance company for purposes such as eligibility, claims processing, payment, and other health care operations.

You’ll receive information about privacy practices and how your health information may be used or disclosed as part of your intake paperwork.

If you ever have questions about your privacy or how your information is handled, you’re welcome to ask me.

Absolutely—if those things are meaningful to you.

My approach to therapy is integrative and holistic, which means there can be room for spirituality, creativity, personal beliefs, and complementary practices alongside more traditional psychotherapy.

Depending on your interests, that might include things like mindfulness, meditation, crystals, oracle cards, Human Design, chakra or energy-based practices, manifestation, or other forms of personal reflection.

These practices are always optional and client-led. You never have to be spiritual—or interested in any of these things—to work with me.

Your therapy should reflect you. We can make room for what feels meaningful and leave out what doesn’t.
