Ready to start therapy in Lexington, MA?

The first step is just reaching out.

If you’re unsure about therapy, that’s okay. Many people reach out before they feel ready or certain — and reaching out doesn’t commit you to anything.

After you reach out, we’ll start with a simple phone conversation about what’s been going on and what you’re hoping for in therapy. You’ll have space to ask questions, get a feel for how I work, and decide whether it feels like a good fit.
