Therapists in Shaw, Washington, DC
All psychological issues are ultimately existential in origin, entailing a confrontation with death, loss, meaning, purpose and value. All that we do (knowingly or unknowingly) is dedicated to deciphering these daunting and irrepressible demands of existence. Few are successful in resolving or even clearly conceptualizing these existential issues and their minds inevitably descend into despair, depression and anxiety. Some seek to assuage their suffering with psychoactive substances (illicit and licit) and this leads only to addiction and abdication of autonomy over one's authentic self. My System offers a solution.

Since 2007, I've been supporting adults 18 and over navigating the complex terrain of trauma, grief and life transitions. Loss shows up in many forms — through death or illness, career changes, relationships coming to an end or even during transitions that are expected to feel “happy.” Grief can often stir up older, unexamined wounds that may not have had the chance to heal. My work is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and the belief that a counselor's role isn't to fix someone's life or tell them what to do; rather, it's to walk beside someone, hold up a mirror and help people sort through what's working and what isn't.

Watching your child struggle to reach their potential is painful. You may see them trying hard but falling behind in school, battling to focus, or having difficulty connecting with peers. You might be worried about ADHD, Autism, or a hidden learning disorder, and you need more than just a label—you need a roadmap. My clients are parents seeking deep clarity and actionable strategies. They want to secure the right IEP or 504 accommodations and understand exactly how their child’s brain works so they can advocate for the success and confidence their child deserves.

Life can be stressful and at times we need assistance finding balance and meaning in this often unkind world. My clients often express dissatisfaction with their image in the mirror—they feel stuck in unsatisfying careers and are struggling to determine the next step.

I love what I do and I think it shows. My main goal is to help clients address personal challenges, understand how early life events effect them, and how to take steps towards change.

You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally shut down, or stuck in patterns that keep repeating in your relationships or daily life. Perhaps you’re navigating trauma, a difficult life transition, or carrying the impact of early experiences that continue to shape how you feel, cope, and connect with others. Often, these patterns are survival responses that developed in earlier environments where you had to adapt to cope. Therapy offers a space to understand these responses with compassion, make sense of where they come from, and begin creating more intentional ways of relating to yourself and others.

We are dedicated to walking alongside clients from all backgrounds who are struggling with the burden of trauma, particularly those traumas which stem from broken relationships, betrayal, neglect, sexual or behavioral addictions, and abuse in its many forms. These can wreak havoc on one's own life, and leave a wake of pain and betrayal in the lives of those who are connected with them. If you relate to this chaos, we are very aware of the shame, pain and confusion you feel. If you are the partner or family member of someone weighed down with this trauma, we understand your despair, confusion, and anger, too.

I built my practice around the people who too often can't find a therapist who actually gets their full experience and the exhaustion that comes with it . My work centers on helping clients move through anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, anger, and self‑esteem concerns with compassion and clarity.
