FAQs

How long is each session?

Therapy sessions last between 50-55 minutes.

How long will I be in therapy?

Every person is different so the length of time in therapy depends on therapy goals, available time, finances, and insurance benefits. Mental health therapy is similar to physical therapy. In both, you work to heal injuries, strengthen muscles, and learn new ways of moving. Many times clients will return to therapy if and when needed.

What are your areas of expertise?

As a therapist, I enjoy working with a range of life experiences and challenges. In recent years, my work has increasingly focused on adults who have experienced ADHD, trauma, adoption, and navigating grief and loss.

What is your training?

In addition to my graduate degree, I have completed advanced trauma training through the Ferentz Institute, along with training in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). As part of my licensure, I participate in ongoing continuing education to deepen my clinical skills and stay current in the field.

Where are you licensed to work?

I am licensed in the District of Columbia, Virginia, and Maryland.

What are your fees and insurance options?

I accept Cigna and AmeriHealth Caritas. My self-pay fee is $200 per 50 min. session.

Are you a board-approved supervisor?

Yes, I am a board-approved supervisor for pre-licensure and clinical social workers in Maryland and Virginia, as well as social workers in DC.

Have you been in therapy?

Absolutely! Therapists are no different than their clients and benefit just as much!
