Online Feminist therapists in Massachusetts

As you know, time is a precious resource. Whether it’s a challenging job, running kids around, taking care of aging parents, or (the list goes on)… there are so many demands on your life.Time is NOT something you have a lot of, so why spend the extra time running all over town to get to a therapy appointment? This is where virtual therapy becomes SO helpful! There are many benefits to virtual therapy. First, avoiding the commute will save you at least 30 minutes. You can do virtual therapy anywhere in the state. As long you’re in Colorado or Massachusetts, we can work together… even if you’re hours away!Plus, tears and snot can be a part of therapy, so having privacy after an appointment can be comforting. You don’t have to gather yourself quickly before walking through a lobby full of strangers. There’s just something about being in your own environment that helps you feel comfortable and more able to be open. That’s why I provide all my services virtually. It’s simply the best and most convenient way to deliver mental health services to the greatest number of people. Do you feel a little uncomfortable about online therapy? So was I at first. I literally had to convert to a virtual practice overnight. I was beyond nervous because I had only ever done therapy in person. I quickly learned there wasn’t much difference between virtual and in-person sessions (an experience validated by a lot of research). I’ve also had past clients convert from in-person to virtual therapy, noting that it was “more convenient,” and they felt “no difference” in how effective sessions were. The connection between client and therapist is very similar. If you’ve done virtual sessions that felt “awkward” in the past, I bet it was more about the therapist not being the right fit and less about the virtual environment. If the connection is there, it’s there. As long as I can see your face, I can read your affect and sense your demeanor as effectively as I can in person. I feel as connected and attuned to my virtual and in-person clients. I treat my virtual appointments with the same level of professionalism that I would demonstrate in the office environment, and you’ll get the same tools and interventions as you would in an office environment. And you can also be sure that your privacy is my number one priority. I use telehealth software that is 100% compliant with HIPAA privacy laws and regulations. Ready to get started? It’s easy. All you need is a device with video capability (e.g., a laptop, desktop, or cell phone), a reliable Internet connection, and privacy from others.Therapy needs to be confidential. No matter how well you may know the person, they should not be listening to your session or in the same room while you’re doing therapy. So, have an open mind. Virtual therapy might be exactly right for you!  

I offer either virtual, in-person or hybrid treatment based on patient preferences and goals.  

I’m a licensed clinical social worker and certified Perinatal Mental Health Therapist. I specialize in working with individuals and couples undergoing fertility treatments. I came to specialize in perinatal mental health and infertility when I was going through my own IVF journey to have a child.  

We’re firm believers that you don’t need to wait until things get really bad to start therapy. Every person is unique, and therapy should be the same - that’s why we take a tailored, individualized approach that’s flexible to meet your needs and goals. The foundation of our work is a multicultural-feminist perspective that positions you as the expert of your own experience. We take a warm, collaborative approach to help you get clarity about who you are and how you want your life to look. We also integrate evidence-based interventions from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and relational frameworks. Our goals involve helping clients move upstream to identify and resolve systemic and personal patterns that keep them stuck and working together to find more joy. We also believe that the personal is political. More often than not, sociopolitical systems of oppression like racism, sexism, heterosexism, transphobia, ableism, and more directly impact mental health. As a result, we take an actively anti-racist, intersectional, identity-affirming approach with clients across a broad spectrum of marginalization and privilege. We specialize in working with college students, graduate students, young adults, and professionals in Massachusetts on a variety of common issues including: mood (anxiety, depression), identity development, life transitions and adjustment, ADHD, relationship issues, academic and career issues, and burnout.  

Counseling sessions in-person are generally considered the most helpful. For clients who are unable to drive, are ill or disabled, or don't have childcare, video or phone sessions with a counselor can be just what's needed. Depending on clients' counseling needs, therapists may require one or all of your sessions be conducted in-office.  

Sessions are conveniently conducted online via Zoom.  

In my practice, I focus on supporting folks who have felt voiceless or overlooked, including women, the trans and gender expansive community, and the queer/LGBT+ community. My passion is helping you to find your voice, set healthy boundaries, and explore your authentic self so that you can build the most fabulous life possible!
