CREDENTIALS
​
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor of the Massachusetts Board of Allied Mental Health (License #8165).

My practice space is open and welcoming to people from all walks of life. It is also an LGBTQ+ and non-binary friendly zone, as well as voice-hearer and visionary friendly (those who hear voices and see visions), as well as open to those who understand their experiences as belonging to a spiritual crisis, emergence, or awakening.
​

Individual sessions are $120

Couples/family sessions are $150

Additional fees may apply for services involving coordination with other providers/phone calls/emails.
​
Please take note: Insurance companies require a therapist to diagnose you. Some people do not want to have a diagnosis attached to their medical files. If this is you, I am open to discussing alternatives to insurance such as FSAs (Flexible Spending Accounts) and trying to find a solution that works for both you and me.
See the PHILOSOPHY page for more information on why I attempt to work outside of insurance and diagnosis. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact me.
