Codependency Therapists in Shaw, Washington, DC
You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally drained, stuck in painful relationship patterns, or struggling to cope with grief, depression, trauma, or major life changes. Sometimes people come to therapy because they’ve spent years taking care of everyone else while losing touch with themselves. I work with adults who want more than just symptom relief, they want to better understand themselves, feel more connected in relationships, and create lasting change in their lives.

Do you feel unfulfilled and lost or confused in your roles, overwhelmed by work, family, and relationships? Perhaps you feel anxious, exhausted, and disconnected, longing for clarity and a way to reconnect with your true self and your dreams. Or are you part of a couple, still care for each other but feel emotionally distant, stuck in cycles of conflict, and wanting to rebuild trust, emotional intimacy, and communication? Perhaps you carry the weight of trauma or complexities around adoption, which impacts how you relate to yourself and others.

Wherever you are in life's journey, when you need support you deserve a therapist who takes the time to understand you. Whether you are experiencing stress related to work, challenges in relationships, or struggling with any other area of life, you deserve support that is specific to you, from someone who cares about and prioritizes your needs. I am passionate about helping people in the LGBTQ community, and as a member of the community myself, I understand the importance of having a therapist who can care for you with competence and respect, positivity toward sex and non-monogamy, and without judgment.

Breathe! I got you...In a world filled with constant change and uncertainty it is easy to forget to breathe, slow down and check-in with yourself. The daily grind, career dissatisfaction, family demands, strained relationships, past and current trauma, self-doubt…the list goes on. Let me be your guide on a journey into true freedom and overall satisfaction in all areas of your life. We will explore your historical blueprint and recreate a design that is authentically yours. A blueprint guided by fearlessness and healing rather than fear, self-doubt and recycled patterns that no longer serve you.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the central component to successful psychotherapy and I bring special attention to the ongoing process of relational safety. I also believe that self-harmful behaviors always have roots in past experiences of threat and it can be life-changing to discover these connections. I work to help individuals establish goals, explore their experiences, gain self-awareness, develop resources and skills, cultivate self-compassion, and find greater self-empowerment so they can create a more fulfilling and meaningful life for themselves.

In my approach, we target the “why” behind your anxiety, where it comes from, and how we can get your to a place where you feel less doubt, more confident, and empowered to know what to do when fear strikes.

My clients come to therapy with a desire to better understand themselves, their patterns, and the implicit beliefs they hold about themselves and the world. They are deep thinkers and feelers with a great appreciation for humor as part of the therapeutic process. They are often striving to become (and befriend) the best version of themselves. Together, we balance insights and perspectives with tools that guide transformation and growth.

You may be dealing with ongoing anxiety, a critical inner voice, or thoughts that loop in a way that’s difficult to settle. Sometimes, even ordinary situations can feel like too much, leading to a freeze response or a sense of disconnection from your body. For people who are neurodivergent or have experienced trauma, these responses are understandable—they reflect your nervous system’s effort to keep you safe, not a flaw or failure. Through a trauma-informed approach, we’ll move at a gentle pace to support your system in finding more steadiness, safety, and ease.

Hi prospective client, let’s figure out if this is a good fit. I work with clients who need support, a clearer understanding of themselves and their environment, and are ready for change. Clients struggling with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, PTSD, grief, schizophrenia, bipolar, and personality disorders, as well as relationships, career support, aging, and other life issues are great candidates for therapy with me. I see individual clients of any age, families, and couples (however if under the age of 15, parent/caregiver collaboration is required). I offer a kind, supportive approach, with plenty structure and self-empowerment.
