BlueCross BlueShield Therapists in Shaw, Washington, DC
My practice focuses on adolescents and adults of all ages. I conceptualize issues from a cognitive-behavioral approach, meaning that I will explore together with you the thoughts and feelings related to your behavior patterns and examine the impact of any biological, psychological, and social factors. We will work together to make manageable changes so that you can feel better and move forward to reach your goals. Therapy often leads to better relationships, solutions to problems, and a reduction in anxiety and stress.

Change can be frightening but exhilarating as well. As a psychotherapist helping people cope with various obstacles in life, I have come to believe we all have the potential to be successful and possess the tools we need to achieve our goals. The pace and direction will be up to you. I will help you think about your life issues and concerns differently and together we will develop strategies to handle them more effectively. Also, VASAP approved assessment and/ or sessions.
Unfortunately, I am not accepting Tricare clients at this time.

I am in-network with BCBS, CareFirst, and Cigna.
My ideal client is a young adult navigating anxiety, trauma, or major life transitions, often first-generation or from a multicultural background. They're carrying the weight of family expectations, identity questions, and systemic pressures, often without much support. They want to feel understood without over-explaining their background. Their goals go beyond symptom relief, they want clarity, self-compassion, and the tools to move through life with more confidence. They're ready to do the work, and I'm ready to show up for them.

Therapy with me is about going deeper. I support clients in exploring the root causes of distress. My clients want more than a space to unload; they seek to be witnessed and supported in healing. That work may involve unpacking childhood trauma, healing religious wounds, or examining the ongoing effects of systemic oppression. Many of my clients are young adults in various stages of transition. They are navigating the tension between familial, cultural, and societal pressures and their emerging sense of self. Our sessions are about deep exploration, honest reflections, and the development of emotional resilience.

My focus within my clinical work is with individuals ages 13+ experiencing issues related to trauma/PTSD, anxiety, depression, family or relationship issues, and major life transitions.

I truly believe that therapy is collaborative, and therefore work side by side with clients to identify the best approach and move forward towards healing.

As someone who has sat on both sides of the therapist’s office, I deeply believe that healing is possible for everyone. I view the main vehicle for this change as connection: with me, with yourself, with your body, with others in your life, with your environment, and with broader social movements and communities. As your therapist, I will invest in building a safe and trustworthy relationship over time, through curiosity, authenticity, and transparency. It’s important to me to understand and address how power, oppression, and your multifaceted identities influence your life, as none of us heal in a vacuum.

Relax. This is a space where you don't have to mask, perform, or be "on." We focus on what's actually happening, and build skills that work day-to-day, not just talk.
I work with adults and teens dealing with anxiety, burnout, ADHD, autism, and life transitions like career shifts, relationship changes, and self-esteem.

Do you find it hard to close your laptop or turn off work notifications, even when the day is technically over? Does your body still feel buzzing with unused energy, like you are bracing for the next email or request? Even during downtime, it can feel difficult to truly relax or step out of work mode. Many of the women I work with feel pressure to stay constantly available, struggle to say no, and worry about being seen as incompetent or unreliable if they slow down. That fear of dropping the ball often leads to overworking, people pleasing, and emotional exhaustion, even when things are going well professionally.
