Multiracial Therapists in Dupont Circle, Washington, DC
I see clients who strive toward an authentic self, seek personal growth to achieve their full potential. I have expertise in issues with anxiety, depression, and trauma and practice clinical interventions that are strength-based and solution-focused. Aligning treatments with clients' cultural and personal background is fundamental to my approach. Through deep listening a tailored treatment plan is created. I believe that psychological and behavioral problems are expressions of pain and efforts to cope with unacceptable environmental demands and consider therapy an important step in restoring resilience and making healing possible.

I believe that each person has an innate ability to heal from trauma and pain. Events from the past can impact our mind and body in the present- sometimes getting in the way of current relationships and goals. I offer a safe space to tap into transformative healing, self-exploration, and personal growth. My clients bring an array of issues to therapy including trauma, addiction, sexual difficulties, relationship challenges, self-injury, and dissociation. I work collaboratively, recognizing that each client brings their own unique strengths to the work.

My ideal client is a young person who is ready to explore their identity in a meaningful and compassionate way. They might be navigating questions about gender and sexuality, or feeling the weight of anxiety, depression, or trauma that has been difficult to process on their own. They may be struggling with self-acceptance, societal pressures, or a fear of rejection. Whether they are looking to understand their gender identity more clearly, manage mental health struggles, or heal from past experiences, they are committed to the journey of therapy and personal growth.

I am committed to helping my clients understand themselves as deeply as possible and I work best with individuals who are curious and driven to better understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I believe that when we gain insight into ourselves and how we relate to others, we have taken the first essential step towards making meaningful changes in our lives that can lead to a reduction of psychological distress. My clients would describe me as genuine, engaged, and curious.

I received my Doctorate in Counseling Psychology from Virginia Commonwealth University, where my academic and research focus included exploring resilience in Black families and the identity development of Black and White Biracial individuals.
You deserve a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to grow. You may be tired of feeling unseen, unheard, or misunderstood. Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from yourself. These are experiences from childhood that may be repeating themselves in your daily life. Together, we will explore your attachment needs that developed from your earliest relationships and examine the behaviors and patterns that are keeping you and your current relationships stuck. I support individuals and couples to improve their ability to connect with themselves and others and to navigate conflict more effectively.

I have provided therapy to a diverse population of individuals in a variety of professional work settings as a licensed psychologist for over 10 years. Currently, I am offering online mental health therapy to help individuals work toward and achieve personal goals. I work with individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, or feeling like they are in a stuck point in their life. I understand creating significant change can be difficult without having some initial support and guidance. I believe practicing new coping strategies until they become established in your life is important to increasing well-being.

Our experiences change the way we view ourselves and the world around us especially when we endure pain and loss; our identity shifts, and the story we've told gets tangled up. It is normal to become disoriented and scared when we feel ourselves changing. Maybe we seem more lonely, less fulfilled, or lost. I see it as my responsibility to be a partner/guide for you so you feel more oriented, less alone, more able to recognize your innate strengths and ability to heal and to ultimately author a story of growth.

Do you feel stuck or weighed down by things you can't quite explain? Many people I work with are carrying the effects of trauma, anxiety, depression, or stress, often without realizing how much it's shaping their daily life. I work with adults, including young professionals, navigating life transitions, burnout, or relationship issues, who are ready to feel more like themselves again. My approach is collaborative, with you as the expert on your own experience. My focus is on holding a relaxed, human space, one where you can bring all of yourself, judgment-free, imperfections included, as we navigate challenges together.
