What do sessions look like?

As a Maryland based therapist, I believe that healing starts with feeling safe, supported, and truly understood. For people dealing with trauma or anxiety, that sense of safety can feel out of reach—and that’s where therapy can help. Our work together will focus on building a trusting relationship, so you don’t have to face painful memories or emotions alone.

In our sessions, I use a combination of approaches based on your needs. This might include verbally processing and exploring your thoughts, feelings, and patterns around anxiety, trauma, or relationships — helping you process what’s happened, understand yourself more deeply, and learn healthier ways of navigating life’s challenges.

We may also integrate EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) into sessions to help process and release stuck traumatic memories, art therapy to express feelings that may be hard to put into words, and body-based (somatic) practices to reconnect with your physical sense of safety. We’ll also use parts work to explore different inner experiences and self-compassion practices to help you meet yourself with more kindness and understanding.

Therapy with me is a collaborative process, and we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we’ll work to build more calm, connection, and trust—both in our work and within yourself.
