The kitchen table is a symbol of community and connection for me—homey and nourishing. That’s the vibe I want therapy to have: a place to feel at peace, emotionally and physically. Plus, KTP makes a nice acronym.

I’m based in Massachusetts and offer therapy online to anyone physically located in the state during our sessions. This includes residents as well as students, travelers, and others temporarily in MA.

All sessions are held online via a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. You just need a private space and a stable internet connection. Many clients appreciate the flexibility, accessibility, and comfort of meeting from their own environment.

Thank you for your interest in working with me! Due to availability and bandwidth, I stopped offering free consultation calls in 2023 to focus on providing the best care for the people I am already working with.

What I’ve done instead is tried my best to include everything you need to know about working with me on my website for you to read without having to wait to schedule a call. There is also a short video here if you want to know what I sound like. If you have additional questions, we can address them face-to-face in the initial intake session. You can schedule it here.

Of course, there will always be unique circumstances. If you don’t know which service best fits your situation, or you have a question that isn’t answered on the website, please feel free to reach out via the Contact Form.

The short answer is no. I am currently a private-pay, out-of-network provider. (The next question will have information about using out-of-network benefits.)

While insurance is meant to make therapy more accessible, I’ve found that it often creates more barrier and stress for both clients and providers. Many of my clients have had negative experiences with insurance companies, such as limited session coverage, restrictions on treatment approaches, surprise costs, and denied claims—that ultimately interfered with their healing process. You can read more about it in this article.

At KTP, I choose not to work directly with insurance companies. As a licensed clinician, I have an ethical obligation to prioritize my clients’ well-being, and I’ve found that managed care companies often impose barriers to the kind of care I believe in providing.

Using a private-pay model allows us to:

• Work together without external restrictions on length or type of treatment

• Protect your privacy and confidentiality

• Focus on what’s most effective for you, not what an insurance policy dictates

• Build a genuine, collaborative therapeutic relationship

That said, I understand that not everyone can access therapy without insurance. I help clients utilize services that help them get reimbursement for out of pocket expenses without the insurance headache (see next question). I also offer a limited number of insurance-based spots through a group practice. Contact me to if you want to learn more. If you’re looking for lower-cost therapy, you can find more resources here.

You may be able to submit superbills/invoices for out-of-network reimbursement, depending on your insurance plan. I can provide a superbill at your request. Clients are responsible for contacting their insurance company for reimbursement policy and procedure.

There is a service called Thrizer that handles the out-of-network process for clients. You can use them to verify out-of-network benefits and submit superbills. They will handle the submission and communicate with insurance company for you. Once you meet your deductible, you receive reimbursements in a few weeks via direct deposit. You can create an account and get started here.

Please note that I am only able to provide a mental health diagnosis for clients in individual therapy. A mental health diagnosis is NOT given for clients in couples therapy, only z code. Confirm with your insurer on whether they reimburse z code.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Registered Dance/Movement Therapist, I am trained to help individuals, couples, and families overcome a wide range of emotional, mental, physical, relational challenges. Over the years I have developed areas of expertise so I can provide the best care for my clients. To learn more about my specialties visit the Services page and About page.

Additionally, here is a list of issues that I no longer focus on or work with. If this is the MAIN reason you are seeking therapy, I believe there is a provider out there who would be a better fit for you. Take a look at our Resources page to find other websites that may be able to help connect you to services more aligned with your current needs.

• Addiction, Substance Abuse, Personality Disorders (Antisocial, Borderline, Schizophrenia), Psychosis, Bipolar, and Active Suicide Ideation or Self-Harm

For couples therapy, I only work with partnerships where everyone is committed to improving the relationship and there is a basic level of safety and trust.

• If you or your partner is actively considering breakup or divorce, I am not a good fit for you. I recommend finding a Discernment Counseling Practitioner as Couples Therapy might not be very effective in this situation.

• If safety and trust is broken (abuse, infidelity, etc.), I recommend all partners seek individual therapy and find a couples therapist who specializes in the situation you are experiencing.

I do not work with minors at this time.
