At this time, I am only offering one-on-one therapy services in-person in Watertown, MA or online.

I currently am in-network with BCBS.

If you have a different insurance plan, you might be able to be reimbursed for some of the cost of therapy through out-of-network benefits. If you are interested in pursuing this option, I recommend reaching out to your insurance company before beginning therapy.

I try to be a real person first and a therapist second. I use a lot of humor and warmth to connect with people. I always try to connect and understand people’s emotions. I think that connecting about a special interest is just as important as talking about your childhood.

Yes, I reserve some spots for sliding scale. If you are not able to access therapy at the full fee, please feel free to reach out to me and we see if we can make it work.

This is going to sound silly but honestly I think the days when I am the best therapist are when I am just myself, connecting to another person as a human being.

Here are the approaches I draw from aside from that:

Internal Family Systems/parts work: the idea that we are all made up of parts which all have different roles

Executive function coaching: This includes teaching about neurodivergence and teaching skills and techniques to support executive functioning skills in day-to-day life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): The idea that we can change our thoughts or behaviors to reach our goals. This is a “behavioral therapy” that is sometimes criticized as not being neurodivergent-affirming. I use CBT with caution and “finesse” and with the understanding and consent of the client. I don’t want to change who you are or what you believe but there are times when a certain thought is really causing distress and CBT can help with that.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy: This is a skills-based therapy, which has some similar concerns to CBT in terms of being neurodivergent-affirming. I tend to pull skills which I think are both neurodivergent-affirming and helpful and will sometimes omit or “edit” skills to be more affirming. I tend to not use skills from the “Interpersonal Effectiveness” module as many of these enforce neurotypical expectations.
