Child Therapists in Washington, DC
I work collaboratively with children, adolescents, and adults in individual and family therapy.
I take pride in building strong therapeutic relationships that create new and lasting changes. I use a strength-based, multicultural model to develop insight while addressing concerns in behavioral and relational patterns. With children, I use play and talk therapy to assist them in identifying strengths and reducing negative symptoms of distress.

I work with children and teens and their families.
I utilize play/expressive therapy and sandtray to enable children to express and work through their inner dynamics; teach mindfulness to increase regulation; work with feelings and sensations in the mind and body to help develop self-awareness and release and integrate distressing thoughts and emotions; and use EMDR.

As a woman of color and a proud veteran, I understand the unique challenges that veterans and active-duty service members of color face. Whether dealing with PTSD, relationship issues, depression, substance abuse, or the uncertainty of military life, I’m here to help you navigate these struggles and find healing. I've been through it myself, and I’ve learned that with the right support, even the toughest times can lead to growth.
The uncertainty of military service—constant deployments, the unknown future, and the strain on personal and professional life—can be overwhelming, especially for veterans and active-duty members of color

I am trained as a Canadian and US-trained physician, a psychoanalyst, couple and family therapist, and child/adult psychiatrist.
Couple and family therapy can sometimes serve as an efficient and effective strategy to improve the wellness of the whole family system. Sometimes severe psychological distress and suffering is located within the couple or family, rather than solely within a given person as it may appear at times. I have built up a strong skill set to offer a particular form of couple and family therapy known as "psychoanalytic couple/family therapy" which zeroes in on the undercurrent, unconscious meanings for destructive, relationship patterns that are outside the awareness of the couple/family.
