Blue Shield Therapists in Shaw, Washington, DC
I am in-network for any commercial Blue Cross Blue Shield (CareFirst) plan.
The Diathesis-Stress model of psychology suggests, GENETICS load the gun and the ENVIRONMENT pulls the trigger. As human beings, we are all biologically vulnerable to experience mental health disorders, although they may manifest in different ways and to different levels of severity. At the same time we are all exposed to environmental stressors that can interact with our predispositions. With any therapist, it is important to develop SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timely) goals that allow us to gain insight into our vulnerabilities and surroundings, to better understand why we react the way that we do.

While we possess many innate tools to cope effectively with adversity, there are many factors that can serve as barriers to achieving and maintaining a healthy balance in life. Whether these barriers relate to internal processes or external circumstances, I believe that it is often beneficial for us to practice vocalizing our experience to others. Doing so can serve as a protective factor, helping us to cope more effectively with any radical internal monologues that may pop up from time to time.

I understand it takes a lot of courage to open up to the prospect of therapy, to uncover and take on personal challenges. I am focused on a client-oriented approach to understanding people as individuals, with various backgrounds and personal experiences. I recognize clients have diverse and unique visions, and my purpose is to be a facilitator of growth based on the client’s idea of physical, emotional, and mental well-being. I aim to help clients give voice to their experiences and work through present and past challenges using tailored interventions. I am informed by psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral theory.

Every one of us, at some point in our lives, encounters difficulty and hardship. At times, the challenges we find ourselves facing may seem insurmountable.

Or, are you struggling with unwelcome feelings and behaviors that impact your health, relationships, or career? Whatever obstacles you’re facing, therapy can be an invaluable and freeing experience.
