When pressure follows you beyond the workday
Perhaps you spend meetings anticipating criticism, rewrite ordinary messages repeatedly, or feel your stomach tighten when a particular name appears on your phone. At home, you may keep reviewing an argument instead of resting. These experiences deserve attention even when you continue meeting deadlines and other people assume you are doing well.
Therapy offers room to explore a manipulative relationship without having to present a flawless explanation. You can talk about feeling anxious, walking on eggshells, or losing confidence in decisions you once made easily. You do not need to diagnose another person before seeking support for what you are experiencing. There is room for uncertainty, mixed feelings, and experiences you have not shared before.
Workplace emotional abuse and your sense of self
An emotionally harmful workplace relationship can make it difficult to separate useful feedback from humiliation, blame, or constantly changing demands. You might feel embarrassed that professional success elsewhere has not helped you feel steady around one person. Jami provides emotional support as you notice patterns, consider boundaries, and reconnect with your own judgment.
The focus is your wellbeing: how you respond to stress, what feels sustainable, and what support you need. Therapy does not provide legal advice, determine whether a workplace rule was violated, or replace employment guidance. You can explore the emotional weight of a situation while taking practical questions to the appropriate professional.
Dating after manipulation or gaslighting
After emotional abuse, a new relationship may bring both hope and vigilance. You might question every kind gesture, feel drawn to familiar dynamics, or worry that setting a limit will make someone leave. Therapy can help you examine those reactions with curiosity instead of treating them as personal failures.
Rebuilding self-trust can include recognizing your preferences, noticing how you feel after interactions, and practicing boundaries without lengthy justifications. Jami’s approach makes space for your perspective and your pace. The aim is to help you feel more grounded in your choices, whether you are dating again, leaving a relationship, or taking time on your own.
Secure video therapy wherever you are in Virginia
Sessions take place online only via secure video. There are no in-person appointments. You must be physically located in Virginia during every session, even if you normally live in Arlington or Falls Church. Choose a private setting where you can speak freely and give yourself permission to step away from other demands.
Jami serves adults in Rosslyn, Clarendon, Ballston, Shirlington, and Falls Church, as well as elsewhere in Virginia. Online sessions let you access support without adding a trip to an office. A free 15-minute consultation is a chance to discuss what brings you here and whether working together feels like a fit.
Fees and reimbursement
Sessions are $175 per session, self-pay. A superbill is available on request if you want to seek out-of-network reimbursement. Reimbursement depends on your plan and is not guaranteed; check your benefits directly with your insurer. You can ask about payment and the process during the consultation so you know what to expect before beginning.
Frequently asked questions
Can I meet from work?
Yes, if you have a private room and are physically in Virginia. A DC office does not count, even if your home is in Arlington or Falls Church. If your location changes, discuss it before your appointment.
Do I need to know whether the relationship was narcissistic?
No. You can begin with the experiences that concern you. Therapy can help you explore their effects without requiring a label for the other person.
