At this time my sessions are online (Telehealth) only. This allows greater flexibility for clients in Washington, DC and across NC and Virginia to access services and clinical care. Sessions are secure and HIPAA compliant.

We will spend our first session getting to know one another and discussing what’s led you to seek help, and for me to develop an understanding of what brought you to therapy. This will also give you a chance to get a feel for how I work and to ask any questions you have about our work. From there we will begin to develop goals and a plan for how we want our sessions to go.

I am an out-of-network provider, meaning I am not paneled with any insurance companies, and I accept the full fee upfront. At the end of each month I provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company to seek reimbursement for your session costs. The amount you will receive from you insurance company will depend on the type of plan you have. It is important to check with your company and find out about out-of-network benefits. Please note that not all insurance companies will reimburse for therapy services.

Clients have described our sessions as supportive, collaborative, and client centered. In our sessions, you get to decide what you would like to work on and the pace you would like to work. I believe it is important to establish a collaborative and safe working relationship so we can begin helping you to identify and reduce areas of anxiety, understand patterns of protective reactions with yourself and others, and to experience and work through any cut-off emotions and past painful events.

The length of time really depends on the person, their history, and the complexity of their problems. I typically meet with my clients weekly for 50-minute sessions. Some clients do well with a shorter course of therapy, and other need more long term treatment. Either way, the length is up to you and what we determine to be the best length and frequency needed to meet you therapy goals. My goal is to help you get relief in the most time efficient way we can.

For most clients, a 50-minute session once a week is the preferred frequency. In some cases, I see clients every other week, usually due to scheduling issues or other factors. For some clients seeking more intensive work, meeting for longer sessions (90-minutes) or more often (2x a week) is usually what we agree to do.

Missed appointments and appointments cancelled with less than 24-hour notice will be charged the full session fee, unless we can reschedule within 6 days of the cancellation or missed appointment. If you need to cancel or reschedule a session, it is fine to either text or email me ahead of time.

Yes, in addition to Washington, DC, I am fully licensed in North Carolin and Virginia, and I am able to see my clients residing in these areas via tele therapy sessions

Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) is an evidence-based therapy that focuses on identifying and resolving emotional conflicts that contribute to anxiety, trauma, depression, and relationship difficulties. ISTDP helps individuals experience and process emotions that were previously overwhelming or avoided, leading to lasting psychological and physical symptom relief. The approach is active, focused, and designed to create meaningful change efficiently.
