Introduction

I'm the founder and clinical director of Golden Hour Counseling, where our team of 19 professionals is committed to making mental health care accessible to everyone. We work with individuals across the lifespan—from toddlers through elders—and offer flexible formats including individual therapy, couples and family sessions, groups, classes, and coaching. Clinical approaches draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic work, and other evidence-based methods tailored to each person's needs. We address anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, substance use, gender identity, family conflict, and much more. Whether you're navigating a life transition, working through a relationship challenge, or seeking support for a developmental concern, we're here to help. We accept Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, Tufts Health Plan, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, and Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield New Hampshire, and we offer both telehealth and in-person appointments. All staff at Golden Hour Counseling pllc are currently accepting new clients and would welcome the opportunity to connect you with the right clinician on our team or work with you directly. Please reach out to me to learn about receiving services with one of our staff.
