Cigna and Evernorth Therapists in Shaw, Washington, DC
You look like you have it all together, but your mind rarely gives you a moment of peace. The overthinking. The replaying conversations. The constant what if. The pressure to get it right, be it right, hold it all together. You’ve learned how to function through it. You show up. You get things done. But inside, it feels like you’re always bracing for something. Like your body never fully exhales. You’ve learned how to function through it. You show up. You get things done. But inside, it feels like you’re always bracing for something.

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

The journey toward healing begins with a safe space to be truly heard. I provide compassionate, individualized therapy for children, adolescents, and families navigating social, emotional, and behavioral challenges. Many clients face life transitions such as relocation, adoption, identity exploration, body image concerns, or loss, which can contribute to anxiety or depression. Using a trauma-informed, solution-focused approach, I help clients build coping skills, resilience, and insight. My goal is to create a nurturing, collaborative environment where clients feel empowered to grow and create meaningful change.

Welcome. At various times in our lives we all end up feeling sad, angry, anxious, or lost. Sometimes we end up in unhealthy patterns: doubting our self-worth, obsessing about the past or the future, lashing out at others, or isolating ourselves. So many of our unhelpful behaviors protect us in the short-term, but leave long-term costs. I'm a clinical social worker and I provide help with these and other issues. The core of my training has been to meet you where you are--mentally and emotionally--and help you find effective techniques to overcome adversity, feel better, and move on with your life.

Overcoming mental and emotional challenges can be difficult, but even more when you feel like you are dealing with them alone. It's not always easy finding someone who's willing to listen and understands from a culturally responsive lens, especially when discussing personal challenges that have been discouraged outside of the home. Stress can come from many different avenues of life (career, family, relationships, society, and culture, etc) and can bring about depressions, anxiety, anger, isolation, and low-self esteem. It's not easy learning healthy ways to cope, managing your symptoms, and even recognizing that there's a problem.

My ideal client is someone who has experienced trauma and is seeking a therapist who truly holds space for the depth of their experiences. They may be navigating the lasting effects of abuse, struggling with their identity, or working through challenges related to current policies, sexuality, or sex work. They need a space where they feel safer, affirmed, and met with genuine compassion—where they don’t have to educate their therapist or fear judgment. Their goals might include processing past trauma, building healthier relationships, affirming identity, developing coping skills, or simply feeling more at home in themselves.

If you are suffering with depression, looking to learn how to manage your anxiety, or seeking greater satisfaction in your relationship with others; I can help. Perhaps you are trying to adjust to a major life transition such as the death of a loved one, or a divorce.
