Licensed Clinical Psychologist, 

Boston. 



Services

In my practice, I see adults aged 21 and over for the following types of service:

Diagnostic Assessment

Initial assessment, diagnosis, and treatment plan to develop objective outcome-based goals.

Individual Therapy

Psychotherapy focused on achieving outcome-based goals established in the treatment plan.

Teletherapy

I offer services using online teletherapy, a rapidly developing area of innovation within the mental health field. Research has found teletherapy to be equal to in-person therapy in terms of diagnostic accuracy, treatment effectiveness, quality of care, and client satisfaction. It allows added convenience and offers expanded access to care. Your appointment is the same length as an in-person session and is scheduled the same way
