My office address is 185 Devonshire St, Suite 701, Boston, MA 02110. It’s located near Downtown Crossing and State Street, easily accessible by the MBTA’s red, blue, and orange lines.
I see clients virtually across Massachusetts, Maine, and Florida.
-
I see clients in person on Tuesdays in Boston and virtually Wednesday through Friday from 8 AM–3 PM. I do not offer sessions on evenings, weekends, or state and federal holidays.
-
I’m not offering hybrid therapy right now. Since I have limited in-person spots and commute into Boston each week for that office time, I reserve those sessions for clients who truly need or prefer to meet in person. If you’re seeking in-person therapy, we’ll plan to keep sessions in person, with occasional exceptions for emergencies or severe weather.
-
If you need to cancel or reschedule, please try to provide at least 48 hours' notice to avoid a $200 fee, which is charged to your debit or credit card. Sessions must be rescheduled within the same calendar week to waive this fee; otherwise, the cancellation fee will apply. I understand that life happens, so occasional exceptions may be made in cases of emergencies or illness at my discretion.
Individual therapy sessions are 50 minutes. If you arrive 10 minutes late or more, the appointment will be considered a no-show and the $200 fee will apply. This fee still applies even if you notify me ahead of time. Shorter sessions are significantly less productive, and once too much time has passed, I’m no longer able to hold the appointment.
Group therapy sessions begin promptly at the scheduled time. Cancellations with less than 48 hours' notice or missed sessions are also charged the full fee. Late arrivals cannot be admitted once the group has started, and the full group fee will apply. Exceptions may be made for illness or emergencies at my discretion.
-
Absolutely. Although I specialize in working with men, I welcome clients of all genders, sexualities, and backgrounds The most important fit factor is a shared value around inclusivity and respect for diversity. You can learn more about my values as a psychologist here.
-
Yes. While I aim to provide support to a wide range of clients, there are some concerns that are outside my scope of practice. I do not work with individuals seeking therapy for OCD, bipolar disorder, substance use, psychosis, or personality disorders, as these issues often require specialized treatment. Additionally, I do not work with clients who have current or anticipated legal involvement, are actively considering suicide or engaging in self-harm behaviors, or who have been psychiatrically hospitalized within the past 3 years.
If any of the above criteria apply to you, I encourage you to seek out other providers.
-
The first session is an intake appointment, and while it won’t feel like a typical therapy session, it’s an important step in getting to know you. We’ll spend the first few minutes reviewing my practice policies and answering any questions you may have. From there, I’ll ask thoughtful questions about your current and past experiences, relationships, habits, health, and therapy goals. This helps me understand what brings you to therapy and how I can best support you moving forward.
-
Therapy isn’t a quick fix, and I’m probably not the best fit if you’re looking for short-term, solution-focused work. The clients I work with are often interested in making deeper, lasting changes, which usually takes time and consistency. Most of my clients have been with me for several years. As progress is made, we might shift to biweekly or monthly sessions, and some clients take breaks and return when needed. Ultimately, we’ll decide together what feels most supportive for your growth.
