Getting Started
Guidance for starting therapy or consultation in Maryland. step by step, with support at every stage
First things first—reach out
To begin, get in touch to schedule a consultation. From there, we’ll decide together what format best fits your needs.
Your first call
A 30-minute complimentary virtual consultation
We’ll start with a 30-minute virtual consultation to discuss what’s bringing you in and determine whether we’re a good fit. This is a chance to ask questions, get a sense of my approach, and explore what kind of support might be most helpful.
Your first session
what to expect
Before your first session, you’ll complete intake paperwork online so we can begin with a shared understanding of your background, needs, and hopes for therapy. The first few sessions are spent slowing down, getting to know one another, and identifying what feels most important to focus on right now.
individual therapy
couples therapy
A chance for us to understand your story, your patterns, and what you’re longing for—at a pace that feels steady, safe, and grounded.
We’ll start with a session together, followed by one individual session with each partner, before we begin the joint work of exploring your cycle and strengthening your connection.
Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy
This process typically begins with a consult and collaboration with a prescribing provider for medical clearance. From there, we move through an assessment session, preparation session(s), the ketamine dosing session, and follow-up integration sessions to help you make meaning of what emerges.
Educational Consultation
We begin with a virtual consult to clarify concerns and goals. From there, the process is fully individualized and may include record review, school collaboration, or observation depending on the student’s needs.
