Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker: LC200003329I am authorized to provide supervision toward clinical licensure for social workers in Virginia.All other offerings are available worldwide, whether in-person or virtually-facilitated. Let's co-create!
While I offer intensives, extended sessions, different modalities/services that naturally take longer than others, and work that we can co-create to be comprised of multi-day experiences, most sessions with me are booked for a "standard therapeutic hour," which is 50 minutes.
I try to leave space for humanity to come forth, yet sometimes I may have a late start or run over a bit with your work as this type of work does not always abide by the construct that is time.
I appreciate your patience and flexibility with recognition that sending you (or others I work with) into the world in a state of activation or dysregulation is more harmful than helpful, and thus sometimes we may be a bit "off" the schedule. I will always commit to providing your full agreed-upon time in terms of moments spent together.
For almost all therapy and for most coaching/facilitation work I do, I strongly encourage weekly touchpoints.
While it may sound like "a lot," weekly sessions create a sense of continuity and consistency that allows the work to deepen and take root differently than less frequent/more "spaced out" meetings tend to. No doubt, we can do excellent work at other intervals, yet there is a clear difference in working weekly with specialty areas like CPTSD and momentum-supported modalities such as EMDR, IFS, SE, and others with more regular meetings.
Rather than starting and stopping each time we meet, we are able to stay connected to what is unfolding, build momentum, and support your system in feeling more held and resourced throughout the process, so it makes sense that this would be the most useful for ongoing deep work toward healing and wholeness.
That said, I also understand that weekly sessions are not always possible or appropriate for every person or season of life, and I will work with you to figure out a rhythm that works for us both.
Depending on your needs, preferences, and the nature of the work, we may meet:
Every other week (biweekly), particularly once a foundation has been established
Multiple times per week for more intensive or time-sensitive work, such as certain forms of integration support (which is required for psychedelic-assisted therapy work, as it is unethical and potentially harmful to wait too long to provide support in the critical neuroplastic window that comes forth from my perspective)
Periodically (for example, monthly or quarterly) for consultation or supervision
I do not offer monthly therapy appointments as, if you are at a place when meeting monthly is feeling like enough, the type of specialty services and skillset I offer are no longer necessary for you. Since I value accessibility, it is important to me that I retain openings to offer to those who need weekly/biweekly support rather than hold spots because we like each other and it has become routine to connect! We will explore concluding the work together when moving toward this kind of rhythm.
In group formats, which may meet monthly, quarterly, or at other structured intervals
The rhythm and pace of our work will ultimately be shaped collaboratively (one of my beloved trainers says relational trauma and soul work moves "at the speed of trust"), based on what best supports your system, capacity, hopes, and the type of offerings we are mobilizing to co-create meaningful, sustainable transformation and expansion.
To protect your privacy and the integrity of our work together, communication outside of sessions is kept intentionally limited and structured.
Between sessions, you are welcome to reach out for administrative needs such as scheduling or other logistics. The most reliable and secure way to do this is through the secure, encrypted private messaging system within the client portal I utilize for all of my work.
I do not use email, text, or phone calls for therapeutic conversations, personal messages, receiving significant news/content, and/or emotional processing. This is not because your experience is not important to me; almost the exact opposite of that given the nuance and significance I would want to meet anything particularly personal or serious with in realtime, with the benefit of tone and nonverbal communication.
The kind of work we are doing deserves the space, care, and attunement that can only happen within a session.
If you find yourself wanting to send a long or deeply personal message between our scheduled touchpoints, it I gently invite you to make note of it and bring it into our work together. That is often a sign that something meaningful is ready to be held with more depth and support than asynchronous and/or written communication allows.
You may occasionally receive automated texts or calls related to appointments, reminders, or arrival check-ins for in-person sessions. These are generated through a secure system and are not a way to reach me directly. I do not receive or respond to incoming text messages given how insecure that mode of communication is for private, personal matters.
If a meeting is disrupted (for example, due to a technical issue), I may reach out to help us reconnect or coordinate next steps.
It is also important to know that I do not provide crisis support via email, messaging, or phone. If you are in need of immediate support, or a higher level of care, we can have a conversation and figure out a way to get you connected with the network of supports that will be the right fit for you.
In terms of response time, you can generally expect a reply within 2 business days of when I am in the office (generally Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, as I wear other hats on other days of the week) for administrative messages.
I do not monitor or respond to communication outside of my working hours. In fact, I do not receive any work-related correspondence on my personal devices as this is a critical boundary for me to ensure I am able to maintain the balance and fullness of my own human experience such that I am able to tenderly hold that of others.
I ask for at least 48 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule a session.
This policy is not intended to be rigid or punitive, and while I recognize that life happens, it is important to note that this allows our relationship to operate based on a commitment to mutual accountability and respect for both of our time and the container we are intentionally co-creating.
Your session time is held specifically for you, and late cancellations or missed appointments often cannot be filled on short notice given the many hats I wear. While all I work with substantially benefit from the breadth and depth of the skillset I have continued to hone through ongoing education and expansion of my own across many contexts and areas of contribution at the micro, mezzo, and macro levels of healing support, there also are tradeoffs time-wise to working within what is a very delicate and specific time structure I must adhere to in order to meet my commitments across roles I play.
If less than 48 hours' notice is given when you need to miss a session, please understand that this means I will not be likely to be able to work with others in need who could use the support at this time, and thus the full session fee will apply.
If something unexpected or emergent arises, I welcome open communication so we can navigate it thoughtfully, yet if there are multiple instances of this we may need to come together and determine whether our work can continue forward or if someone with greater flexibility in their schedule may be a better fit for you based on what you are navigating at a particular time, with the door remaining open for us to come back together as it makes sense down the line.
Part of this work includes building a relationship where we can be in honest, respectful dialogue with one another, including around time, capacity, consideration, and commitments. My intention is to support a structure that allows the work to be consistent, predictable, supportive, spacious, and honoring of all with whom I work.
