THERAPY FOR WOMEN EXECUTIVES IN DC, MD, VA, SC, GA, FL, IL, VT AND NM
Starting up with a therapist can feel like a big lift.
My clients are generally up to their eyeballs in family obligations, work commitments, business travel and keeping multiple calendars synced.
This work with me allows you to finally dig in and name the real forces shaping your life – everything that has been weighing you down and what will actually move it.
So let’s walk through the process of getting started in order for you to feel crystal clear.
Consultation Call
First, we’ll have your consultation call to discuss your current needs and goals. If my services will be a good fit for you, we will schedule your first appointment and I will email you the link for the intake packet. If not, I can help you with appropriate referrals.
First Session
Next, we meet for your first session and review your history, priority goals and how you want to feel. We’ll collaborate on a treatment plan that captures this picture and lays out the specific approaches we will take to get you there.
Weekly Sessions
Finally, we’ll keep up a rhythm of weekly sessions and make steady progress on the goals you identified for yourself. You will begin to notice changes in the way you respond to other people and situations within the first 2 to 3 weeks.
Be sure to prep your therapy space.
For most, this will be as simple as selecting a space at home or at work that will ensure limited interruptions, and where you can access good WiFi and a backup network signal (like your cell phone data) in case your WiFi goes down. A reliable set of headphones also guarantees good sound and greater privacy during sessions.
And that’s it! For further questions you might have, feel free to keep reading below.
Psychotherapy is a very unique service.
While it can appear simple on the surface, the power of the right connection with a therapist can allow a client to temporarily borrow from the emotional strength of another as they find their own way home to their True Wise Self.
As a therapist, I see my ability in guiding others through their healing as both a gift and a responsibility. As a client, it is a privilege to have access to a protected space where you can have the focused, consistent attention of someone who was called into this work, and specially educated at the Master’s level and beyond, in order to serve you in your moment of need.
Being in treatment, means having an objective, trust-worthy professional helping you identify where you keep getting stuck and how to find true freedom from these defeating patterns.
This is why therapy is best understood as an investment, one that pays dividends across every area and relationship in your life, for many years to come.

This eye-opening article goes into depth about Why Your Mental Health Provider Stopped (or Never Started) Taking Your Health Insurance)
As an out-of-network provider, I am able to provide you with a superbill at the end of each month. This superbill, also known as a detailed medical receipt, is what you will submit to your insurance company. You may be able to receive some reimbursement if your current plan provides out-of-network benefits.
Be sure to contact your provider to clarify if such benefits are available to you, the amount that you can have reimbursed, and any restrictions that may exist on number of sessions, etc.
Please note that suberbills must contain a mental health diagnosis code in order to be submitted to your insurance. This is true for out of network and in-network providers.

Commitment & Consistency Policy
I ask that my clients be as committed to their clinical work as I am to theirs.
Due to the time reserved for each of my weekly and intensive clients, any cancellations will be charged the full cost of the session.
I offer a generous rescheduling policy where clients can reschedule their missed session the week before, the week of or the week after their original appointment, as long as my schedule permits.
Clients are not charged for appointments that I cancel.

I also help women looking to recover from past trauma or assault. If you’re responsible, self-aware, and committed to results, you’re in the right place.

We don’t work in an alternate reality that ignores what is happening around you right now. I explicitly consider family expectations, gender roles, religious upbringing, cultural values and conditioning, intergenerational patterns, and racialized experiences. And you won’t spend energy with me explaining what the mental load is. I design therapy around your real context.
-
Yes. Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) uses eye movements and imagery to reduce distress without detailed retelling. This makes it more rapid than standard EMDR. Many privacy-minded leaders prefer this way of working through difficult events. I also integrate clinical hypnotherapy for further alignment with goals and post-traumatic growth.
-
IFS maps protective parts (the fixer, the perfectionist, the people-pleaser) and recalibrates these roles so you lead yourself, without the belief that you have to rescue everyone else. So you can have fewer reactive yeses and make more aligned decisions.
-
It varies, but many notice meaningful shifts within 3–6 sessions. We track changes you can feel, such as sleep, being on high alert, and increased bandwidth for daily tasks. This way we know what is working and adjust from there.
