Therapists in Washington, DC

You’re tired of being the “strong one.” At home, on the job, and even among your friends, you’re the one everyone calls when they need a solution. You’re so good at supporting others that no one knows you’re secretly falling apart – no one asks. Maintaining this image is exhausting, but you barely have time to notice the emotions. You bury your feelings with more work, so no one ever sees the real you. Ironically, the one person you never show up for is you. You’re an expert at meeting expectations, but it’s time you started taking care of yourself. It’s been so long. You’re not sure you remember how.

Please note I only provide tele-therapy services in Maryland, DC, Virginia, Florida, Delaware & W. Virginia. It is my belief and practice that we are more than our limited thinking minds. If you have tried other traditional therapies and find them lacking, you may find my Transpersonal , Jungian, and Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioral approach to be of benefit. The transpersonal is defined as "experiences in which the sense of identity, or self, extends beyond the individual or personal to encompass greater meaning. This can include exploring non ordinary states of consciousness.

Do you want to begin working on you? Life can be hard and throw many obstacles at you. You may feel that you want to start tackling these obstacles head on. These obstacles can include feeling empty about life, a failed relationship, or a hard time adjusting to a new work environment. No matter the obstacle, you can overcome it and lead an amazing life with some help.

Hello and welcome current, and future clients. I always ask my clients, "How are you feeding your mind & body?" Your health is a reflection of who & what you allow into your space, as well as, what you allow into your body. Your therapeutic process will be held in a safe, non-judgmental space allowing you to talk about your frustrations, goals, wants, hopes, and fears. If you have experienced a traumatic past or are currently facing difficult decisions, allow me to support you on your journey to find & embrace purpose and peace. This approach will taken for all Counseling, ESA, Health Coaching & Clinical Supervision Clients (DC&MD)

Therapy is a process and just starting is an accomplishment. It can be difficult because you may address topics that you have avoided.

You find yourself tired, irritable and not really interested in the things that once brought you joy. Or, you are anxious all of the time, waiting for the next shoe to drop.

Sometimes life provides us with moments that seems to leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves and others. We may feel overwhelmed by uncomfortable feelings such as fear, hurt, grief, anger, depression, loneliness, and/or anxiety that tend to make life difficult to enjoy. The goal is to learn how to embrace these moments without self-judgement and provide self-love in the form of understanding, patience, and a desire to move towards wholeness.

At Elite Behavioral Therapy, I believe you are the author of your own experience and the expert on your own life. But sometimes even experts need advice. Perhaps you have wondered why there isn’t a how-to manual for your own life. Or thought that others seem to know the secret ingredient to the recipe for a successful relationship. There is no magical formula for happiness. But I can be your guide, and help you dispel the myths and negative stories that you have told yourself that's getting in the way of your happiness. Worries, stresses, joy, and hopes? I can help you better manage the conflicts everyone struggles.
