Therapists in 22205
The decision to begin/return to therapy can be complicated. Some believe they should be able to "fix" problems independently, and place undue blame on themselves for being stuck in cycles of depression/anxiety, disordered eating, malfunctioning relationships, self-harm, etc. Through my work as a Clinical Psychologist, I've come to believe that it takes courage to recognize that aspects of one's life aren't working, and to seek support in making positive changes. During therapy, I work with clients to identify areas of life they'd like to change, and together, we explore past experiences that may have contributed to current struggles.

Maya Angelou once said, "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." I believe that each person has a story to tell and I am someone who genuinely wants to know yours. My passion is to deeply connect with each person I come in to contact with and be present with them in that moment. I seek to understand people from all different socio-economic, cultural, racial/ethnic, and spiritual backgrounds. I strive to make an impact on this world for and with the marginalized population. Healing is coming back to ourselves and breaking free from the conditioning and beliefs that limit us. It's a journey of empowerment.

We all have relationship challenges, stressors, and losses. Many times this does not equate to illness or necessitate a diagnosis. My goal is to promote total well-being, prevent further distress, and maintain health and happiness. I partner with adults who need to hit the "refresh" button, get support, and create new ways of looking at themselves and the world. I aim to eliminate stigma by referring to my approach as self-care & growth. I help people to let the past go, the future be as it may, and to step into the present moment fully. You can embrace your unique self, highlight your strengths, find healing, and feel empowered!

Thanks for visiting! I specialize in adults (20's, 30's & 40's) dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship & career challenges, OCD, panic attacks, and trauma. My approach is to first understand your perspective and, as needed, supplement your instincts with clinical theory and intervention.
