My office is located in downtown Leesburg at 19 Wirt Street SW near Town Hall.

Please note: Due to building age, stair access is required to access the office. If mobility is a concern, please let me know and we can meet via telehealth or I can provide referrals. 

Yes, I offer both in-person and online (telehealth) therapy. 

Some folks have a strong preference for how they want to meet for therapy. Some need the accessibility of telehealth due to factors like distance, schedule, and childcare. For some, telehealth also offers privacy and comfort.

On the other hand, some clients like coming to a dedicated, distraction-free space and being in the room face-to-face with their therapist.  

While telehealth has been found to be equally effective as face-to-face therapy, not every client is a good candidate for it. We’ll decide together which may be the best, most effective fit. 

Our first appointment is a bit different than subsequent ones. We’ll continue getting to know each other, review important policies and procedures, discuss your intake documents and what brings you to counseling, and begin developing a plan for our work together.

Therapy, even the first session, can bring up a lot of thoughts and emotions.  I will let you know when we have a few minutes remaining so that we can both orient toward wrapping up. 

I often close sessions with a regulating activity to help contain anything that came up and help you feel more grounded and like you can face the world when you leave the office.   

If we’re meeting in person:

Follow the narrow brick pathway to the left of the front of the building. Enter the first door and head upstairs. Have a seat in the waiting area and I will meet you at our appointment time and walk with you to my office. 

If we’re meeting virtually: 

You will receive a link to our session 10 minutes before your appointment time. Join from a private, comfortable, distraction-free space with a reliable internet connection. If you arrive before the start time, you’ll be placed in a virtual “waiting room” until I join you. 

As a reminder: You must physically be located within Virginia for a telehealth session.

I am an out-of-network provider, which means I do not bill insurance.

Should you decide to file for possible reimbursement with your insurance provider, I am happy to provide a superbill upon request. It is best to inquire with your insurance provider representative about what your specific benefits are, including out-of-network reimbursement or allowable expenses.

Initial 60-minute intake session: $165
50-minute individual psychotherapy sessions: $165
50-minute relationship therapy sessions: $175
60-, 75-, and 90-minute sessions are also available for $190, $215, and $245, respectively.

Please inquire about group rates and availability.

At least 24 hours’ notice is required. Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice will be charged the full session fee with the exception of emergencies. 

Repeated missed appointments or cancellations will be addressed and may be cause for termination. 

Consistency is key in therapy. When the appointment is recurring, clients tend to remember it more easily and prioritize around it. This also means we don’t have to navigate scheduling each week but instead on an as-needed basis.

Unless otherwise arranged, your initial intake appointment day/time will be our standing appointment schedule.

Example: If your first appointment is on a Tuesday at 3 PM, going forward, please plan to meet on Tuesdays at 3 PM (or in line with whatever frequency we’ve established).
