Therapy Services

Psychodynamic and mentalization-based psychotherapy offered in person in Northern Virginia and virtually throughout Texas.

Therapy offers an opportunity to better understand emotional experiences, relationship patterns, and the ways individuals come to understand themselves and others over time.

Treatment is collaborative, thoughtful, and responsive to the unique needs and experiences of each individual. Drawing from psychodynamic, attachment-based, developmental, and mentalization-informed perspectives, therapy offers space to better understand emotional patterns, relational experiences, and the ways thoughts and feelings shape how individuals experience themselves and others.

The therapeutic process emphasizes curiosity, reflection, and emotional understanding within a thoughtful and emotionally attuned therapeutic relationship.
