You're used to being the one handling things.
But something has happened, or is happening right now, that composure alone can't get you through, and there's no version of waiting it out that makes it easier.
The Moment Everything Changes:
The Money & Responsibility You Didn't Ask For
A Silenced Exit
Work After a Health Scare
Sudden wealth, inheritance, and business succession, including conflict you can already see coming or already in.
A forced career exit, a signed NDA, or carrying something you legally can't say out loud.
You're in an executive or leadership role and have recently experienced a health scare that has either put you on medical leave or you were required to return rather quickly.
If none of these are your exact situation, but you recognize the pattern, this might still be the right place for you.
I built this intensive container because I know what it feels like
to understand your patterns completely and still find yourself doing the same thing again.
IFS (Internal Family Systems) is the modality that changed that for me and for the clients I work with. Not because it teaches you something new. It's because it goes somewhere insight alone can't reach.
I am a Certified IFS Therapist, LCPC in Maryland, LPC in Virginia, National Certified Counselor, and a Board Approved Supervisor in Maryland with 15+ years of clinical counseling experience. I work with a small number of intensive clients at a time.
My approach is rooted in IFS, culturally conscious, and deeply personal. I don't believe therapy is about fixing you. I believe it's about coming home to yourself and building a life that actually feels worth living, not just worth showing.
