Do you do in-person counseling or virtual therapy only?
I provide therapy exclusively via Telehealth, allowing clients to connect from the comfort of their own space — no commute, no waiting room, and the same level of warmth and connection as in-person sessions.
Benefits of virtual therapy include:
-
Flexible scheduling that fits your busy life
-
Increased privacy and comfort (you can even bring your favorite blanket or pet!)
-
Consistent support, even when traveling or away at school
I currently serve clients located in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, and Washington, DC.
Whether you’re at home, in college, or on the go, virtual therapy makes it easier to prioritize your mental health — wherever you are.
Should I take medication or go into psychotherapy?
It is well established that long-term emotional and mental health issues cannot be resolved solely by taking medication. Instead of just treating the symptom, therapy addresses the cause of our distress and the behavior patterns that curb our progress. You can achieve sustainable growth and a greater sense of well-being with an integrative approach to wellness. Working with your medical doctor, you can determine what’s best for you, and in many cases, a combination of both medication and therapy is the right course of action.
What’s the difference between talking to you or my best friend, or my family?
While it is always a positive to have the support of family and friends, a mental health professional can help you approach your situation in a new way– teach you new skills, gain different perspectives, listen to you without judgment or expectations, and help you listen to yourself. Therapy is completely confidential. You won’t have to worry about others knowing your business.
Mental health professionals can offer an objective point of view, whereas family members or friends may be more emotionally invested in your situation.
If I commit to therapy, what can I expect? How can I get the most out of therapy?
It is important to understand that you will be more likely to see results from therapy if you actively participate in the process. The ultimate purpose of therapy is to help you bring what you learn in sessions back into your life. I recommend starting with weekly sessions for all of my clients. This helps us get to know each other and builds up safety and trust before diving into the deep work. I have been in private practice for 10 years, and I have found this approach to be most effective with my teen and adult clients.
Weekly sessions keep the momentum going and help you feel better faster.
Do you take Insurance?
I do not accept insurance; however, depending on your current health insurance provider or employee benefit plan, services can be reimbursed in full or in part by your insurance. Payment is due in full at the time of service, but we can provide “Superbills” to submit to insurance.
