Your Questions, Answered

  • I have a Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lesley University. I previously worked at a non-profit community mental health center treating eating disorders as a Clinician and Community Outreach Specialist. More recently, I worked at Monte Nido & Affiliates Eating Disorder Center of Boston in the Partial Hospitalization Program and the Intensive Outpatient Program as an Individual and Group Therapist. I also hold a Bachelor's Degree in Counseling Psychology. In order to obtain licensure in both Connecticut and Massachusetts, I had to complete upwards of 3,000 hours of supervised work and pass a national exam.

  • I am collaborative, honest, and straightforward! I want each session to feel like a safe and comfortable place to process your issues and explore your goals. I try to bring humor and joy into our sessions.

  • In 2022, a new law was passed to ensure that patients are aware of the charges they may accrue for healthcare services over a 12-month period. This bill was intended to help consumers avoid surprise bills and charges from hospitals or large healthcare clinics who might be out-of-network with your insurance. As a licensed healthcare provider I am required to provide you with a Good Faith Estimate if you are paying privately for services or if you do not plan on submitting documentation to your insurance company for reimbursement. I will do my absolute best to ensure you do not receive any surprise charges, as the session cost and cancellation policy is always agreed upon by both the therapist and client before services are rendered. If you believe you have been charged beyond your GFE, you have the right to dispute these charges. Click here for more information about Good Faith Estimates.

  • Finding a therapist is hard! I offer free, 15-minute phone consultations to discuss your therapy goals and what you are looking for. Speaking over the phone allows us to get to know a little more about each other to determine if we are a good fit. Currently, I am licensed in Connecticut and Massachusetts, meaning I can work with clients in both states.

  • You can either submit the contact me form or book a phone consultation on the ‘book now’ page. From there, we’ll talk about making sure we’re a good fit and understanding your insurance/payment needs.

  • Yes! A 15-minute, free phone consultation is a time for us to get to know each other and for me to learn more about your therapy goals/why you are seeking therapy. I'll ask you some general questions to get a better sense of what you're looking for, and we can chat more about my therapy style and what working together would look like if we're a good fit. 

  • I accept some insurances (Aetna & Optum/United Health Care), but please contact me to verify specific plans. I can also offer a receipt for other insurances I am not in-network with.

  • I combine a thoughtful, human-centered approach with 10 years of eating disorder expertise. I love laughing and believe that as difficult as therapy can be, humor and joy belong in the room.
