This session allows us to understand what you’ve been carrying—emotionally, mentally, and relationally—so we can create a treatment plan that fits your needs.

The family intake session is an introduction to the therapy process for your family. It’s a space where each family member gets to be heard and understood, without pressure or judgment. I’ll guide the conversation, help everyone feel at ease, and learn about what’s bringing your family in. We’ll talk about what’s working, what’s not, and what kind of support would make a difference. Together, we’ll start building a plan that feels doable and hopeful.

Note: We are licensed in Maryland, Virginia, New York and New Jersey. EMDR intensive sessions are extended, focused trauma-therapy sessions designed to help you make meaningful progress in less time than traditional weekly therapy. Using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)—an evidence-based treatment recommended by the World Health Organization and the American Psychological Association—these sessions help your brain safely reprocess distressing memories so they no longer control your present emotions, reactions, or relationships. As a trauma-informed therapist specializing in anxiety, relationships, and communication patterns, I use this deeper, structured format to help clients move through long-standing emotional blocks, repeated relationship cycles, and trauma-driven anxiety with greater clarity and stability. EMDR intensives are offered after a brief consultation to ensure this format is clinically appropriate and are provided as a self-pay service.
