Child Therapists in Washington, DC
As most of us have learned, life presents us with many opportunities for stress, anxiety and emotional turmoil. Sometimes we need professional support to help us navigate challenges in our life. Each of us is unique and therapeutic treatment must also change based on this quality. Therapy is simply a tool that can help you steer the course of your life to the best of your ability so that you can achieve your goals. I provide supportive therapy at a non-judgmental stance and hope that you will find me open and easy to talk to.

I support teenagers who are navigating big emotions, ongoing worries, or challenges with attention, motivation, and behavior. Many of the teens I work with are neurodivergent, including those with ADHD, anxiety, OCD, or sensory and social differences, and benefit from a space where they feel accepted without judgment. My work focuses on helping teens understand their emotions, build coping and regulation skills, and strengthen confidence they can use at school, at home, and with peers. I also partner with parents, offering practical guidance and tools to support their teen’s growth and independence.

Has your child's school told you they need to be tested?
For the past two decades, I have built a specialty in culturally-competent, evidence-based evaluation methods. After testing is done, I will meet with you to discuss the report findings and advocate for you to help you get the services that you or your child need. I got my PhD at the U of S Carolina and completed my postdoc at Harvard Medical School.

Did you know autism can be diagnosed in children as young as 14 months of age?
My intervention approach focuses on empowering parents to effectively engage and support their children.

I’m passionate about working with children through creative, developmentally appropriate approaches like play therapy, but I welcome individuals of all ages with cultural humility, curiosity, and care.

Whether you're navigating stress, emotional overwhelm, cultural or identity-based challenges, or simply feeling stuck, I want to create a space where you feel supported, seen, and valued.
