Are you accepting new clients?

Yes. Availability changes as new clients enter the practice, but I currently do have availability for individual therapy. To find out details about current availability, please send a message.

What is your training and expertise?

I have worked in inpatient and outpatient settings at hospitals and clinics throughout the Boston area. I have special interest in addictions and have been involved in addiction treatment programs at Tufts and Boston Medical Center. I additionally have training in the treatment of psychosis and have spent years in psychosis treatment, focusing in treatment both with adolescent and adult clients. Finally, I have an interest in the theoretical or philosophical aspects of mental health and have published widely on these topics. For more details, see my complete CV.

What is your education?

I received an MSW in Clinical Social Work from Simmons University. Prior to becoming a therapist, I was a philosophy professor, and I still teach philosophy courses regularly. I hold a PhD in Phillosophy from Princeton and an AB in Literature from Harvard College.

What kind of clients do you see?

I see adults (18 or older) who are located in Massachusetts. I have special training and background in addictions and mood or thought disorders (such as bipolar disorder or schizophrenia), as well as clients who identify as neurodiverse. Many of my clients have an interest in academic or intellectual pursuits, though this is not true of everyone.

What is your therapeutic method or style?

I work from a broad perspective, informed by my work in philosophy as well as my training in psychiatric settings. I am sympathetic with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, a style of therapy that I discuss in this article. However, my central commitment is that the interests of the individual outweigh any particular method. See this page for more about the approach of the Cambridge Therapy Center.

How often do we meet?

It depends. Typically, I meet with a client once per week, though with other clients we meet biweekly, especially after we have been working together for a while. I always am willing to schedule extra sessions on an “as needed” basis, especially when someone is experiencing a time of crisis.

Do we meet online or in person?

Currently, all sessions are held online via a secure telehealth platforms. This allows clients to have their appointments from anywhere in Massachusetts, so long as they have an internet connection

How much does it cost?

$175 per session. This is commensurate with other private practices in the Boston area.

Do you take insurance?

In order to provide personal and flexible treatment, I am not “in-network” with any insurance panels. However, if you have insurance that includes “out-of-network” benefits, I can provide an itemized invoice to submit for reimbursement.
