BlueCross BlueShield Therapists in Shaw, Washington, DC
In my 14 years in mental health, I learned a greater understanding to the experience of healing. Healing is not an experience to say you are broken or need to be fixed. Instead, it is importantly about BECOMING BETTER. To become better, sometimes you need another individual to provide a safe space to release and receive what you need with care and without judgment. When entering into this space with me, I am a therapist that provides proven therapeutic approaches. Still, I believe when you combine with pillars of SELF (self-compassion, self-acceptance, and self-love, etc.), your internal and external results are more sustaining.

My goal in therapy is to allow my clients to create more space in their lives and build healthier patterns. Our relationships are a large part of what make us who we are, yet our relationships can also be a great source of frustration, coupled with the stresses of daily life. I use a strengths-based, integrative approach in therapy, working with individuals, couples, and families. I find that the ideal time for a client to enter therapy is when one feels stuck or notices negative patterns, and is ready to create a positive change.

The mind and body are connected. Sometimes, our body will tell us something is wrong before we allow ourselves to feel it. I specialize in providing counseling for grief, loss, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues with a focus on this connection. I help individuals and couples heal from difficult and past trauma. I have specialized training in C-PTSD and intergenerational trauma. Above all, I value our therapeutic relationship and your culture. I take time and care in getting to know what's important to you.
