  • Depending on your insurance it might help. If you have out of network coverage benefits, it depends on your deductibles and all that nonsense. I am an out of network provider that offers superbills.

  • Therapy will cost you a combo plate of vulnerability in going deep beneath the surface, hard looks at yourself, and a side of “Oh shit, I do do that”. Dessert is tolerating the gaze of someone who actually wants to see you with a sprinkle of a few tears, maybe.

     

    Also it’ll cost you an hour of your week each week and committing to an investment in yourself.

     

    My current rates are:

    $200 for 50 minutes.

  • I see people in person at 11820 Parklawn Dr. Suite 540 N. Bethesda, MD. It’s so important to be in the presence of another human being to get not only the mental but visceral experience as the relationship deepens. 

     

    I do offer virtual therapy if appropriate to anyone in Maryland, D.C. or California where I am also licensed.

  • I offer sessions Monday through Thursday. We’ll meet once a week at the same time each week. If we need to meet more we can, but not less than that. We get the farthest the fastest if you commit to having that time carved out for yourself while I also hold that time for just you each week. My hours are generally 10am-5pm.

  • No can do boss. 

     

    I’ve found that weekly therapy gives people the best outcomes. Meeting less frequently for financial reasons has us playing catch up instead of addressing things.

    It’s a place to hide and not do the deeper work.

     

    I also have found that this affects the care and connection negatively. And I’m not about that. 

     

    I want you to get the best care you can possibly have and I truly believe that means having a therapist who can see you as often as you need. If meeting weekly would cause you financial hardship, I will happily give you referrals.

  • Short answer: as long as you want it to.

    More nuanced answer:  Lovingly, my hope for you is to stand confident in your own power and be able to listen to what your body’s telling you single-handedly. Now, depending on what brought you into therapy, this can vary quite a bit. Often people stay at least six months, and sometimes they stay for a few years. Clients often find the supportive safe space helpful even after they’ve addressed what they came for initially.
