Therapists in South West, Washington, DC

Has it started to feel more like you are surviving life instead of living life? When stressors come from so many different directions, your life can start to resemble something you want to retreat from, not something you relish. It’s not surprising that you don’t feel like yourself, or maybe even like yourself, anymore. No wonder you spend more time in your head – your brain is probably desperately trying to find a way out of all this, a solution. Let me help. I show clients how they got here, as well as how to navigate a path out. Here, you can be honest about all the stickiest, raw parts of life and still feel valued.

Sometimes people wonder if therapy is for them. If you are depressed, anxious, troubled in your relationships, coping with grief, struggling with past or current trauma, feeling hopeless or angry, or just trying to understand yourself better, therapy may be able to assist you. I believe we all have the answers we need inside us, but sometimes it takes working with a neutral observer to find those answers. Together you and I will work toward increased understanding of and ways to cope with whatever problems you would like to discuss. Therapy isn't easy, but it can and often does help.

I believe that resiliency is in each of us. You may have tried multiple ways to create change for yourself and found it difficulty to break out of unhealthy patterns.

Whether you've tried therapy before or this is your first time, deciding to step outside your comfort zone and try something different is the first step to a more fulfilling life.

My desire is to help you move forward by using different approaches to therapy as well as taking a holistic approach by helping you determine the right type of Art that can help you focus and remove barriers to promote healing.
