Female Therapists in Shaw, Washington, DC
Many of my clients are women who have spent years being the strong one for everyone else and are now feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected from themselves. They may be navigating life transitions such as motherhood, relationship challenges, career stress, or questions about identity and purpose. I also work with couples who feel stuck in repeating conflicts or struggling to reconnect emotionally. In our work together, we identify the patterns that keep people feeling stuck and develop practical tools that help individuals and couples move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and stronger relationships.

I am a licensed health services provider psychologist who works with adults using an integrative clinical approach. I use various techniques combined in a personalized way, alongside a consistent framework, to address what clients would like to be different in their lives.

Emphasis is placed on context, meaning-making, & the therapeutic relationship as central to the change process. I specialize in working with members of historically marginalized groups; especially women of color.

Do you feel stressed, overwhelmed, and stuck in your own head? Do you struggle with feelings of not being enough, feeling lost, or just going through the motions of daily life? Many of us go through our days feeling numb and disconnected or struggle with anxious and low moods. Unfortunately, in these overly busy and stress filled times, the loss of joy and vitality is all too common. When things are hectic and we are just trying to get through the day, it is easy to lose sight of our true values and our lives can veer off course, leaving us feeling empty and lost.

My ideal client is someone—child, teen, or adult—who feels overwhelmed by emotions or experiences that have been difficult to manage alone. Many are navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, or patterns that keep them stuck. Some come to therapy after noticing changes in behavior, mood, or relationships; others simply feel “off” and want support making sense of it.
Clients often need a safe, steady space where their feelings are validated and their experiences are taken seriously. They may struggle to express what they’re going through, or they may have learned to hide their pain to keep moving forward

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.
