For Providers & Schools
Partners in care
For more than 20 years, I've worked alongside pediatricians, psychiatrists, school counselors, and other providers to support kids, teens, and families. I work with several local pediatric practices and value those relationships. When we work together, families get better care.
How I work with you
I respond to every referral within 24 hours. With a signed release from the family, I'm always glad to consult with you about a shared patient. I'll let you know when I've connected with a family you referred, and I'll keep you in the loop on progress, safety concerns, and anything that might affect medical care. When medication is part of the picture, I coordinate closely with the prescribing provider. If you'd like a quick call to talk through a patient, just reach out.
Working with schools
I spent 14 years as Director of Counseling at Milton Academy before starting my practice, so I know how schools work from the inside. School counselors, adjustment counselors, nurses, and learning specialists are welcome to refer students to me. With a family's permission, I coordinate closely with school teams on things like attendance plans, accommodations, 504 plans, and returning to school after a hard stretch. When a student needs a medical leave, I help coordinate between the family, the school, and the student's medical providers, and I support the student both during the leave and through the transition back.
Even if I'm not the right fit
Every family you send gets a free 30-minute call with me. Reaching out for help is often the hardest step for a family, and I love being the one who makes that first call feel a little easier. If I'm not the right fit, whether because of insurance, specialty, or availability, I'll still help them find someone close to home who is. I know so many wonderful counselors across the South Shore, so please send them my way.
Who I see
Kids 6 and up, teens, young adults, adults, and parents. I focus on anxiety and perfectionism, depression, OCD, school stress and school avoidance, trauma, and grief, using CBT, ERP, TF-CBT, DBT skills, and trauma-informed care.
How to refer
Families can call me at (617) 293-1657 or schedule a free 30-minute call online. Providers and schools can send referrals by secure fax to (617) 246-5148, or call me directly to give me a heads-up about a family. I offer in-person sessions in Milton Lower Mills and telehealth anywhere in Massachusetts, with morning, evening, and Sunday times.
I'm private pay, and I provide monthly superbills so families can seek out-of-network reimbursement. I'm happy to walk families through that process.
I'm not a crisis service. For urgent concerns, families should call or text 988, call Aspire Health Alliance's 24/7 crisis team at (800) 528-4890, or call 911.
