I’m currently accepting new clients from MD for online sessions, with set slots and flexibility week to week. Because of my own life experience (HI, MTHFR, MCAS, mold poisoning), I work with people with chronic illness. So many of us have been medically gaslit and even shamed for the way our own bodies work, and of course this affects our mental health! I take a holistic, integrative, and functional approach to mental health, recognizing that our well-being is shaped by biological, psychological, environmental, spiritual, and cultural influences. My clients are seekers who want to heal, and they are looking for someone to walk with.

Same week appointments avalaible! In-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Health Care, Cigna, and Johns Hopkins.
You’re afraid that someone will see you in a way that doesn’t reflect who you really are. That mismatch — between your intent and their perception — creates stress. Deep down, you want to be judged fairly. It’s not about being perfect — it’s about not being misunderstood in a way that harms your sense of self. If they think badly of you, what happens next? Will they talk behind your back? Will others believe them? Will you be isolated, mocked, or cast out?

Do you have difficulty trusting others or building bonds out of fear they are just going to leave you? This could lead to experiencing difficulty maintaining any type of relationship.

Accepting new clients June 2026! Starting therapy can feel awkward or scary, especially if you’ve never done it before or you’re worried about being judged. I get that. My style is warm, conversational, and real. No jargon or pressure, just a space where you can talk honestly about what’s going on and not feel like you have to filter yourself. Many of my clients are people who tend to hold things in, help everyone else first, or feel like they should have it all together. If therapy has always seemed intimidating, my goal is to make it feel like a genuine conversation, not a cross-examination.

How does marriage counseling work?
Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.
How long does marriage counseling typically last?
Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.
Is marriage counseling effective?
Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.
Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
