Cigna and Evernorth Therapists in Shaw, Washington, DC
This is a world often shaped by pressure and systemic stress. Because of this, many people learn to put their own needs last. I work with individuals and couples in an affirming, collaborative space that keeps in mind both personal experience and the broader social context shaping it. Together, we focus on building healthier relationships and helping you reconnect with yourself in ways that feel empowering and authentic.

Feeling stuck? Anxious? Like you’re carrying too much and can’t drop the ball?
You’re not alone and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.
At Defining You Therapy, we get it. Life comes at you fast - family pressure, relationship stress, anxiety that won’t quit, trauma that lingers longer than anyone talks about. And trying to keep it all together? That’s exhausting.
Here’s the thing: healing isn’t about “fixing” yourself. It’s about having the right support to navigate what’s heavy, confusing, or just plain hard.

For over eight years I’ve had the honor of walking alongside individuals and families as they navigate some of life’s most difficult and meaningful transitions. My background is rooted in social work, but my passion lies in helping people feel seen, supported, and empowered—especially when dealing with systems that can feel overwhelming or impersonal. My work has taken me across a wide range of settings, including child welfare, healthcare, education, the criminal justice system, and elder care. In each space, I’ve focused on helping clients make sense of their experiences, advocate for themselves and access the support they deserve

You’re tired of being the “strong one.” At home, on the job, and even among your friends, you’re the one everyone calls when they need a solution. You’re so good at supporting others that no one knows you’re secretly falling apart – no one asks. Maintaining this image is exhausting, but you barely have time to notice the emotions. You bury your feelings with more work, so no one ever sees the real you. Ironically, the one person you never show up for is you. You’re an expert at meeting expectations, but it’s time you started taking care of yourself. It’s been so long. You’re not sure you remember how.
