About

Who I am

I've been a clinical social worker for 30 years. I spent the first few years working with teen boys and their families in a residential program with Fairfax County Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court and then continued my work with teens and families at The Kellar School. After that I joined Northern Virginia Psychiatric Group as a clinician and later also as an owner, where I expanded my practice to include couples work after getting advanced training in Imago Relationship Therapy. I remained a clinician there for 20 years until 2019, when I opened my current solo practice. I see clients age 14 and older, including older adults. I've worked with clients who are in treatment for a variety of reasons, including relationship problems, workplace problems, learning disabilities and ADHD, anxiety, depression, other mood disorders including bipolar, thought disorders, autism spectrum disorder and substance use disorder.

Approach

How we'll work together

I

Initial contact and intake meeting

We can talk for 15 minutes so you can get an initial introduction to who I am and what I do, and you can see if I am a good fit for you. If you decide to schedule a first session, we will set up a one-hour intake meeting.

II

Needs assessment

I'll ask you questions, you'll tell me why you reached out and what you are looking to gain from our meetings, and we will begin developing a treatment plan to meet your goals.

III

Methods and modalities

I'll share my ideas of what approach would work best for you. We will talk about why I chose that approach for you. I'll offer additional recommendations as well, if appropriate.

Services

I offer several therapy modalities

Individual therapy

50-minute sessions, weekly or biweekly. In-person or video.

Family therapy

Sessions for families working through conflict, transitions, or communication struggles together. These visits can be for the entire family or for specific members only.

Couples therapy

This modality is appropriate for married couples or unmarried, all ages and genders are welcome.

Fees

Session fees and insurance

  • $200 for a 45 minute meeting.
  • I do not participate with any insurance plan.
