Anxiety Therapists in Washington, DC
When clients first reach out to me, they often feel depressed, anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed but are unsure about what steps to take to feel better. Clients also reach out because they want to further their understanding of their emotional experience or need help navigating challenging situations or relationships. And then there are others who feel stuck and seek to change patterns in their lives.

I specialize in treating people with eating disorders, anxiety, depression and those who feel trapped by self destructive behaviors.
I treat individuals and couples who present with a range of needs, from debilitating eating disorders to mild anxiety and to issues that cannot be described in five words or less. I see the whole person rather than a group of symptoms with the recognition that people are complex and that most of us have difficulties in one or more areas of our lives. I work to help people become more integrated which, I believe, helps them lead more fulfilling lives. Life isn't so easy sometimes, but through insight change is possible.

Although I work with a wide variety of concerns, these are a few that I work with most often: grief/loss, anxiety, Christian faith and spirituality concerns, major life transitions, relationship concerns, communication, depression, and career discernment.
Life can be quite challenging. Has life turned out differently than you hoped? Do you feel stuck or uncertain what to do with your emotions? We tend to either minimize our emotions or let them run wild, and either way, it can keep us from the life and relationships we desire. Feelings can steer us to flourishing places if we have the skills to gain insight into what they are telling us and respond to them effectively. I approach clients with compassion, empathy, and kindness to work collaboratively to foster connection with yourself and others.
