Frequently asked questions

At Anchor Psychotherapy, we welcome individuals facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship struggles, and more. We’re currently accepting individual child, teen, college-age, and adult clients, as well as parents interested in guidance sessions.

Let’s connect to discuss your unique needs and see if we’re a good match.

I believe every client is unique, which is why I bring a diverse toolbox of skills and therapeutic methods to our work together. Drawing from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Child-Centered Play Therapy, Expressive Arts Therapy, SPACE Therapy, and Positive Discipline, I tailor each session to meet your specific needs and goals. My focus is on identifying which tools may best support your individual growth and healing and molding a treatment plan for your specific needs.

Yes! In partnership with Flow Psychotherapy, we offer a specialized therapy group called Roll With It for middle-school-age children. This group provides a safe and supportive environment for young participants to build social skills, navigate challenges, and foster emotional resilience. Learn more about Roll With It here. 

We will also be hosting a summer “Refresh” series of workshops for parents of middle-schoolers.

We focus the rest of our time on one-on-one, personalized care.

Individual therapy sessions typically last 45 minutes. The frequency of therapy depends on your needs and goals. Some clients prefer weekly sessions, while others may benefit from bi-weekly or sometimes monthly appointments. We’ll decide together what works best for you.

We offer telehealth sessions for clients in Virginia and South Carolina who prefer the convenience and comfort of virtual therapy. We find this method can be especially beneficial and comfortable for college-students.

My office is located in McLean, Virginia. I currently offer both in-person therapy services and telehealth appointments to Virginia-based clients.

I am also licensed to provide virtual telehealth appointments to clients in South Carolina. (My South Carolina registration information can be viewed here.)
