Therapists in Washington, DC

My style of therapy would be considered eclectic although I rely heavily on psychodynamic approaches, family systems thinking as well brief solutions focused therapy. I sometimes incorporate the expressive arts into my work with clients (especially writing as healing).

Welcome to my practice, conveniently located in the heart of Dupont Circle. I offer therapy for individuals of all backgrounds experiencing a range of concerns, including: anxiety, depression, life transitions, identity issues, relationship challenges, grief and loss, chronic health conditions, adoption-related concerns, and more. My style is warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative. I will work with you to help you increase your insight, enhance your relationships, build on your strengths, develop new coping skills, and live a more fulfilling life.

I am a psychotherapist in private practice. I had to establish this wellness center in response to feedback from my clients that they want a more holistic approach to their treatment. Some even asked for alternative to talk therapy. These are people who are dealing with more difficult and chronic issues like trauma history, weight loss issues, addictions issues, issues around impulse control difficulties, issues around difficulty with concentration as in ADHD, those dealing with chronic stress, and others who just want to improve their overall wellbeing and they are looking for support.

Please note that all sessions are via tele-medicine. I believe that clients seeking counseling services desire tools for living a better life, and I strive to provide those tools. I do not push change on clients, but rather helps them articulate how they want their lives to be, and then collaboratively set out to put the foundation in place to create that life. I feel that clients gain the most from the counseling experience when they feel supported, encouraged, and understood by their therapist. This process works best in a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental space, which I provide.

I identify as an ethicist; a Womanist who advocates and practices feminist ideals, cultural humility through continuous learning, bodily integrity, reproductive justice, sex work is work, pacifism by utilizing non-violent resistance techniques. I believe children have rights, whistleblowers are vital in society, I embrace LGBTQ+, Black Lives Matter is factual, and representation matters. I practice mindfulness with the philosophy of ‘margin to center’ action. I embody, advocate, and support activism in action and respect of human rights. Neither ever ends, even when it is inconvenient or uncomfortable. We must remain firmly resolved

I primarily provide support to young adults (18-40) experiencing anxiety; stress; depression; difficulty navigating the challenges of work, college, graduate school, or relationships; feelings of inadequacy; identity development concerns; and trauma. If these struggles resonate with you, you're not alone. I’d like to help.

NOT accepting new clients. If you've said to yourself, "I can't keep living like this. Something has to change," we can help you make that change. If you’re feeling overwhelmed and stuck, anxious and worried; if you're working through gender and sexuality and feel alone and confused; if you're curious about or ready to quit drinking/using, overly critical of yourself and others; if you're sick of putting others before you, paralyzed by perfectionism, and are losing yourself while people-pleasing the world - then notice the voice inside saying, "Something has to change.” If you answer "yes" to any of these, reach out below.
