Working Together
Therapy for when understanding yourself is no longer the hard part.
You may already understand your patterns. You may know where they came from, recognize them in real time, and know what you wish you could do differently.
The harder part is creating enough freedom to actually respond differently.
That's where our work begins.
Clinical Offerings
PSYCHOTHERAPY SPECIFICS
Individual Psychotherapy
For when you're functioning well on the outside—and something still isn't working on the inside.
You may be successful, responsible, self-aware, and accustomed to figuring things out on your own. But insight doesn't always resolve the exhaustion, dissatisfaction, anxiety, or patterns that keep resurfacing.
Our work goes beneath the immediate problem to understand what is keeping you stuck—and what needs to change for you to feel more fully engaged in your own life.
For overthinking, overfunctioning, burnout, anxiety, identity, relationships, and meaningful personal change.
Couples Counseling
For when you've had the conversations—and somehow keep having the same one.
You may both care deeply about the relationship. You may have tried to communicate better, understand each other's perspectives, and solve the problem.
And still, the same tension returns.
We look beyond the individual disagreements to understand the dynamic between you: what each of you brings into the relationship, what happens when you're under stress, and why certain patterns become so difficult to interrupt.
For recurring conflict, communication, intimacy, emotional disconnection, and relational patterns that feel difficult to change.
THE ELEMENTS OF WORKING TOGETHER
The process for moving towards a more meaningful way of being.
Doing the Work
01 The Consultation
We start with a brief, intentional conversation to ensure our clinical alignment. This is a space to discuss your goals and determine if my intentional, depth-oriented approach is the right fit for the shift you are seeking.
02 The Internal Audit
We get underneath what keeps happening.
We look closely at the patterns shaping your emotional life, relationships, decisions, and ways of coping. Not simply to understand where they came from, but to understand what makes those patterns so hard to escape from.
03 The Shift
Then we work on what you've been unable to change on your own.
This is where insight becomes practice. We create greater choice in the places where you have felt stuck, automatic, or constrained—so that change becomes something you can actually live, not simply something you understand.
THIS IS A SPACE FOR YOU
Addressing the Gap Between Knowing and Changing
You may have a clear sense of who you are, what matters to you, and the life you want to create.
And yet, the way you move through your relationships, decisions, and daily life may not always reflect that understanding.
Therapy offers a space to explore the forces creating that distance—and what it would take to live with greater alignment.
-
You can see the pattern clearly and still feel powerless to change it.
You understand yourself. You know what's happening. But when the moment comes, the familiar response takes over.
That gap between knowing and doing is where the work begins.
-
You manage. You perform. You hold it together.
From the outside, you're functioning. Internally, you're exhausted by the pressure to keep functioning that way.
-
You anticipate, manage, accommodate, and hold.
You may be carrying more of the emotional weight than you realize—and wondering why reciprocity, ease, or intimacy feel so difficult to find.
-
You've had the conversations. You've made the effort. And still, the same tension returns.
The issue may no longer be the subject of the argument. It may be the pattern the two of you keep recreating.

I am an out-of-network provider and can provide a superbill—a detailed receipt of services—that you submit directly to your insurance plan for reimbursement.
Many PPO plans reimburse between 50–80% of out-of-network therapy costs, depending on your benefits.
I recommend calling the member services number on your insurance card to determine your out-of-network reimbursement rate for outpatient mental health services to determine the most accurate cost of our work together.
-
To preserve the privacy, discretion, and individuality of the therapeutic process, I operate as a private-pay practice.
This model preserves your privacy by removing the many administrative requirements of insurance, including the requirement for a formal mental health diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
-
Sessions are held virtually via secure video for Maryland and Virginia residents.
Services expanding to Washington D. C. Please reach out for details.
-
Sessions are offered Monday through Thursday.
To support the consistency and depth this work requires, ongoing clients are provided a reserved weekly appointment time.
Weekly sessions are the standard cadence for this work. The depth of change we are building toward benefits from that regularity and continuity.
I maintain a limited caseload to preserve the quality of attention I bring to each client.
-
After submitting your inquiry, I will personally review your message and respond within 24 hours to schedule your complimentary 15-minute consultation. That conversation is an intentional space to discuss what’s bringing you to therapy, answer your questions, and determine together whether this work feels like the right fit. If it does, we’ll schedule your intake session from there.

How long does therapy last?
This varies by person and goal. Some clients work for six to twelve months; often others engage in longer-term work. We will revisit the arc regularly so it remains intentional.
How is this different from other therapy approaches?
Most therapy focuses on symptom management and building coping skills. This work goes deeper to understand the internal architecture generating your symptoms and reorganizing it at the source.
What is the difference between individual and couples therapy?
Individual therapy focuses on your internal world. Couples therapy examines the relational system between you and your partner. Both are depth-oriented; the unit of focus differs.
