My home office is located in Manassas, Virginia. I serve clients throughout Virginia and focus on the Northern Virginia area. My practice is solely virtual.

Due to the current licensing regulations around telehealth, I am only able to provide clinical services to people physically located in Virginia. I am able to present educational material to veterinarians in other states since these are not clinical services and are not considered therapy. I am happy to help you find referrals and resources in other states if needed. Please reach out.

All you need is a good internet connection and a device with a microphone and camera. We will connect using a HIPAA compliant version of Google Meet. You will receive an invitation from Google to join the session at the email address on file. My HIPAA compliant electronic records system will send you an email, inviting you to create a secure account and complete the practice forms online.

I do not offer in-person sessions at this time.

The first few sessions are all about getting to know each other. I will answer any questions you have about the intake process and we will discuss what brings you to therapy. We will identify the goals you would like to accomplish and begin creating a plan to get you there.

This will vary person to person and depends on a number of things, including the severity of your symptoms and the goals you set for therapy. We usually start seeing each other weekly and decrease the frequency of sessions as you begin to feel better.
