Teletherapy for Capitol Hill - Washington, DC

Working more than 20 years as a Clinical Psychologist and as a Neuropsychologist, I helped clients from all walks of life overcome their struggles with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, adjustment to life transitions, and grief. For over a decade, I have trained psychologists in Columbia University and NYU School of Medicine with approaches and practices that have proven to be the most effective. Through empathy and a rapid understanding of self-sabotaging dynamics, I believe I can help you. My office, located in the trendy Capitol Riverfront/Navy Yards area in DC, is steps away from the Nationals Park metro station.

I believe that resiliency is in each of us. You may have tried multiple ways to create change for yourself and found it difficulty to break out of unhealthy patterns. These feelings may be affecting your work, relationships, or health. I have worked with many individuals and couples who struggle with creating change long term. Whether you've tried therapy before or this is your first time, deciding to step outside your comfort zone and try something different is the first step to a more fulfilling life.

You are trying to shine bright like a diamond and have the things most of us desire for a good life. But there is something dimming your brilliance—it constricts you. You know, those feelings of doubt, dread, disgruntlement, desperation, or despair. Like that constant wondering about whether you are viewed as competent at work; like that disappointment you cover up with food, drink or overachieving because you haven’t met “the one;” like that hurt you carry from a past that shamed you or the depths of grief; or like the helplessness feel when your child is struggling.

The pressures of navigating traumatic events have left individuals feeling anxious, depressed, isolated, avoidant, stagnant, unmotivated, unsafe, and irritable.

Motivate with Grace Counseling Services can be a safe place for people struggling with traumatic events that have limited how they manage life.

Not Accepting New Clients - Life is a journey not a destination. The path is filled with obstacles, detours, and unexpected storms. Navigating your Healing Journey can be tough. Along the way it is helpful to have support to help you learn and develop new skills to navigate the challenges and help you realize your strength and power within.

I strive to empower clients in session to make sense of personal circumstances and experiences. Through greater exploration and self-understanding, clients can strengthen their sense of self and break down barriers. I use a client-centered and strengths-based integrative approach to improve self-esteem and autonomy. With a holistic, multicultural lens I help clients grow and seek clarity as they work through times of stress, anxiety, change, or stagnation. I believe self-compassion is one of the most important tenets of growth, and one of the most compassionate things one can do is seek and accept support.

Patients come to me with several different concerns. I see families, adults, seniors and veterans interested in enhancing their lives and building upon what they already use to guide them. I use different modalities to help address those concerns. First, we assess the concerns and develop a plan together. Then we begin our sessions by getting to know each other through a "therapeutic relationship." Followed by methodically working our way through psychoeducation and mixed modalities to address each concern. Periodically, we reelevate your progress and adjust based on your personal needs.

A therapist for the last 23 years, I spent the twenty preceding years in large firm law practice in SF, DC and NY. At almost. the last minute, i grabbed hold of my life, and turned it upside down. This turned out very well. Now, every day I get to delight in working with people in a frank and open way, with the aim of changing their lives for the better. Life is difficult — there’s no way around that. But when you and your therapist are a good fit, the therapy relationship can expand your world, deepen your knowledge of yourself, improve your relationships, and release you to a life you can enjoy more fully and freely.

I believe my purpose is to connect with women, men, and young people in such a way that the trauma they have experienced no longer has a hold on them physically, emotionally, or spiritually. I support my clients through the process of defining who they are and who they want to become in healthy relationships with themselves and others. I am a partner with my clients as they embrace opportunities to be transformed. I help illuminate the intersection among race, class, gender, and trauma, and how this intersection shapes who we all are as evolving human beings.
