Blue Cross Therapists in Washington, DC
I work with individuals navigating trauma, identity exploration, relationship challenges, and major life transitions through a LGBTQIA+ affirming, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive lens. I am especially mindful of how trauma can impact safety, trust, and the nervous system, and I work at a pace that feels supportive and grounding, whether clients are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, uncertain, or processing trauma related to identity, relationships, or systemic stress.
With experience in queer and gender-affirming care, I take a creative, individualized approach to therapy that honors each client’s lived experience.

If you’re feeling anxious, disconnected, or like you don’t fully belong, therapy can be a space where you finally feel understood and supported. I offer a trauma-informed and culturally responsive approach, with a focus on EMDR, a therapy that helps your mind and body reprocess difficult experiences so they feel less overwhelming and no longer hold the same weight. I often work with clients navigating life between cultures, family expectations, or systems that haven’t felt safe or affirming—including neurodivergent individuals who may feel misunderstood or exhausted from masking.

You don’t have to perform your pain to be seen. You don’t have to overgive to be loved.
I work with the LGBTQ, BIPOC, neurodivergent, immigrants, kink/BDSM community, polyamorous or nonmonogamous folks, and survivors who are done with shrinking, burning out, or wondering if they’re "too much." You might be holding grief, longing, or rage that never had a safe place to land, especially if your identity has been shaped by generational trauma, family obligation, or code-switching for safety.
As a relational, trauma-informed and somatic therapist, I hold space for both the ache and the aliveness in you. I am trained in EMDR and IFS.

Knowing when to reach out for help is one of the most important things in life - I'm glad you're here. I work with clients to address anxiety, depression, trauma, and travel phobias; to navigate grief, life transitions, and relationship issues; and to establish a healthy sense of self that doesn't change with other people's opinions. I also work with individuals who aren't sure at first what they want to work on but have a vague sense that they aren't as happy as they want to be. Whatever the concern, we explore it in a safe and relaxed atmosphere and agree together on a plan to move forward.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, unmotivated, or just plain lost, you're not alone. I work with young adults navigating the uncertainty of school, work, relationships, and identity. Especially when it feels like everyone else has it figured out (spoiler: they don’t). Maybe you’re constantly juggling commitments, yet still feel like you're dropping the ball. The guilt of not being able to “do it all” or do it well can be heavy. You might be burnt out, stuck in self-doubt, or wondering if you’re the only one struggling to keep it together.
