Most couples do better with the longer session. Fifty minutes is often just enough time for two people to arrive and not quite enough for anything to change.

Private pay. I am out of network with all insurance panels and provide documentation for out-of-network reimbursement; many plans return a meaningful portion of the fee.

A limited number of reduced-fee places are held. If cost is the thing standing in the way, say so at the consultation — it is an ordinary conversation here, not a special request.

For referring clinicians I welcome referrals for couples, for relationally focused individual work, and for the group and intensive formats. Attachment-based Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) and Imago Relationship Therapy — Relational Dialogue, the Imago Dialogue — are the spine of the couples work, with Psychodrama, Psychodramatic Bodywork, Expressive Arts Therapy and polyvagal-informed somatic work where the work needs to leave the conversation. The approach is trauma-informed throughout: paced to the window of tolerance, with protective responses treated as adaptive rather than obstacles. Licensed in DC and Virginia; sessions in English and Russian. Write to me directly and I will tell you honestly whether a referral is a fit.

Begin with a conversation.

A free fifteen-minute consultation, by phone or video. You describe what brings you; I tell you honestly whether this is the right fit and what the work would look like. If I am not the right person for what you are carrying, I will gladly help you find someone who is. There is nothing to prepare.

Reaching out is the hard part. It is reasonable that it feels that way.
