Self pay costs
Out-of-pocket session costs for clients who don’t have insurance or aren’t covered by their insurance for mental health services.
I have an LICSW in Massachusetts and an LCSW in New Jersey with more than 15 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families. My clinical background includes inpatient work with individuals experiencing serious mental illness, as well as extensive outpatient experience treating depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. I bring a broad clinical perspective, strong communication skills, and an appreciation for the patterns that can shape our personal histories and relationships. I have an MFA in Writing as well as an undergraduate degree in English Literature from Smith College.
I have a sign in my office that says, "Don't Believe Everything You Think." That doesn't mean our thoughts don't feel powerful but we may not yet have the tools to revise our thinking. I work toward trust and respect in my therapeutic relationships such that we can craft those tools for you individually
It can take courage to begin therapy. I would be honored to start that process with you.

"I believe that feeling genuinely heard and understood is often the first step toward finding a way forward."
Why did you decide to become a counselor or psychiatric provider?
I was a freelance writer and researched the connection between humor and healing, which led to my interest in helping people find ways to cope with challenges in their lives.
What types of clients do you work best with?
Clients who are willing to engage.
What's one thing you wish all clients knew about therapy, mental health, or the healing process?
I wish more clinicians had experience working inpatient, first of all. Second, it is a marathon not a sprint.
What can clients expect in their first session with you and in the early stages of therapy?
I believe that my role is to understand where my patient is coming from.
What personal experiences or values inform your practice as a therapist/provider?
Life experience, lack of judgment, honesty.
How do you tailor therapy to meet each client’s unique needs?
I believe that each patient has a perspective and I want to understand what that is before we begin treatment planning.
