Heal Deep-Rooted Patterns With Internal Family Systems Therapy

My fee is $195 for a 50 minute session.

You also may be able to use your insurance plan to help pay for therapy (please read the next question fully below).

I am considered an "Out-Of-Network" provider, which means I do not accept any insurance directly.  I’ve made the decision to work directly with my clients regarding payment, and they are very satisfied with this arrangement.

If you would still like to use your insurance, then you can potentially do so if your insurance plan has “Out-Of-Network” benefits. The way that would work is, you would pay for therapy at the time of the session, and then I will provide you with a “superbill” that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

I am able to check for you if your plan has OON benefits during our initial consult call rather than you having to call your insurance company. So if you'd like that, please reach out.

Otherwise you can choose to see me privately and not involve your insurance at all. See why many of my clients choose this option below.

Most of my clients actually prefer to work with me privately and not involve their insurance at all. This is because in order to use your insurance for counseling, a mental health diagnosis is required, and this gets attached to your record. If your challenges don’t meet the threshold of a diagnosis, then insurance companies can choose not to cover your therapy.

Insurance can put limitations on the number of counseling sessions you can have, prior to truly completing the process.

An insurance company has a right to call the therapist and ask how sessions are going

At any point they can say that therapy is no longer medically necessary and cancel the coverage

And by not taking insurance, I’m able to maintain a smaller caseload of clientele and devote all of my focus into helping people.

Instead of taking hours each week going back and forth with insurance, I devote that time and energy to my clients, resulting in better outcomes for therapy.

If you have more questions about this, or have questions about finding your OON benefits and would like to discuss, then I recommend reaching out to me on my contact page and I’d be happy to answer any questions.

I can provide therapy to people residing in:

I also have an in-person office in Rockville, Maryland

In our first session, we’ll focus on what brings you to therapy, exploring both the positive and challenging aspects of your daily life. Together, we’ll look at your relationships, routines, sources of joy, and different aspects of your identity. We'll also reflect on your past experiences—including those from childhood, adolescence, and adulthood—that have shaped who you are today. Most importantly, we’ll discuss your goals for therapy and what you hope to focus on in our work together.

In our work together, I primarily use Internal Family Systems (IFS), a therapeutic approach that helps you connect with different "parts" of yourself, especially those that may carry burdens or reactions from past experiences.

This process allows you to build a deeper understanding and compassion for yourself, which can support healing. When processing particularly difficult memories or unhelpful beliefs, I may also incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR involves specific eye movements or tapping to help your brain process and release painful memories in a way that feels safer and less overwhelming.

Alongside these approaches, I provide practical tools for daily use, helping you address immediate challenges while also working on the deeper roots of your issues so that you can create meaningful, lasting change.
