Our first couple of sessions together will be a bit more structured where I’ll ask you questions related to your personal history, your ancestry, current experiences, strengths, and more. It’s a chance for me to get to know you better and understand the various areas of your life that help shape you. Share whatever you feel comfortable sharing, therapy is a process and there’s no need to rush.

At Embodied Insight Counseling, sessions are 50 minutes once per week at a scheduled day/time we both agree upon.

Some people know right away from their consultation call; for others, especially folks who are new to therapy, it can take a few sessions to settle in and get to know me. You can certainly ask me questions anytime! I always want my clients to feel supported, heard, trusted and cared for. To me, it’s important that you feel comfortable and never feel judged.

Please do! Disagreeing with me will happen, is normal, and is expected, although it may not happen often. I invite you to correct me as it will benefit your care and improve my understanding of you. It might take some time to feel comfortable doing so, and that’s ok! Just know I’m always open to your feedback.

This is a common question participants have, and the answer is it’s different for everyone. Healing isn’t linear nor predictable; growth doesn’t always feel good, and therapy can help by building tolerance for that discomfort. Some people pursue therapy for months or years and usually notice they feel better sooner than they realize. Our sessions will likely be a mix of moments of growth and a deepening of your understanding of self, laughter and humor, and some powerful emotions. Remember you’re not alone and I’m right alongside you, Together we’ll help you feel more connected to your Self.

Great question! This is evident in the way I live personally and professionally; the language I use to describe this work; the structure of my sessions; offerings to participants; and the learning I seek out. I recognize that psychotherapy has been built under white-body supremacy and I strive to identify ways in which I am complicit in supporting systems of oppression and to identify ways to take action to promote a more equitable, safe world. I proactively work to increase my awareness of my privilege and actively advocate where I can to promote equity and accessibility. Engaging in local and global activism is important to me and I do so when I can, whether it's sending letters to congress, attending a protest, or reposting important content related to global events. I recognize this is a lifelong learning and unlearning; I also recognize the imperativeness in listening to and supporting the Global Majority.

I support people ages 18+ from diverse backgrounds and experiences. Folks may be struggling with feeling anxious or are curious to learn more about themselves within their culture to increase their self-worth. They may be exploring multiple layers of their identity; want to make positive changes in their lives but are feeling stuck; or are seeking to better navigate relationships in their life.

I’m passionate about supporting 2SLGBTQIA+ Millenials, fellow healers (spiritual and clinical), and Empaths. If you feel like any of these ring true for you, let’s chat!

Therapy is a financial investment and an investment in your well-being. My fees are set in accordance with average market value rates for the zip codes I serve and the level of training I possess.

Initial phone consultations (15-20min) are free.

Your investment is $250 for the initial intake session (60min) and $225 for all subsequent therapy sessions (50min). All payments are processed via secure Stripe credit card processing through SimplePractice, my Electronic Health Record (EHR).

A limited number of sliding scale slots are available. Please be mindful that if you request a sliding scale fee when you can truthfully afford my full fee, you are limiting access to those who truly need the gift of financial flexibility. Being honest with yourself and your financial situation when engaging with a sliding scale grows strong and sustainable communities. It also respects the work of practitioners like myself in the healing field who may have families to support and have bills to pay. Additionally, when I am paid fairly, I am able to invest more time and resources in free and lower-cost offerings. (conceptualized by Alexis J. Cunningfolk of Worts & Cunning Apothecary)

I am considered an Out-of-Network (OON) provider with all health insurance plans. Please contact your insurance company’s Member Services line prior to booking an appointment with me to determine whether they cover out-of-network benefits.

Some participants prefer to self-pay for their sessions (and not seek reimbursement from their insurance) as insurance companies require a diagnosis to justify “medically necessary” treatment, and insurances can also request access to the sensitive information participants share with their therapists.

Absolutely! I work with participants virtually through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. If you’re choosing to use your health insurance’s OON benefits, you will need to contact their Member Services to verify that your plan covers teletherapy, or psychotherapy via telehealth, within your state. Telehealth coverage by insurance is not guaranteed.

I am only licensed in the states of Massachusetts, Maine, New York, and Pennsylvania and therefore cannot meet with participants when they are not physically in one of those states.

My “office hours” fall between 8am-4pm Monday through Wednesday.

I require 48hrs notice if you need to cancel or reschedule a session. If you miss an appointment or cancel within the 48hrs you will be charged the full session fee. Text and/or email reminders are sent to you 72hrs prior to our scheduled appointments, and I also encourage you to set up your own reminders.

I don’t have the education or license to prescribe medications, however, when it seems like medication may be a helpful next step, I help connect participants to prescribers in their community.

Not formally as I do not have the training. To decolonize my therapy practice, I also try to abstain from pathologizing participants. However, it’s important to note that when participants are utilizing their insurance to pay for sessions, a diagnosis must be given. Additionally, if a participant believes they may benefit from a diagnostic assessment, there are various options we can look into together to decide on the best next steps.
