Couples Therapists in Washington, DC

It can feel isolating to struggle with sex or romance given the oft-associated stigma. You don't have to go it alone. We'll work together to help you discover, or rediscover, your authentic self, how to express your needs, wishes, desires, and develop new attitudes and skills that will help you thrive. Some of my specific clinical interests include relationship communication and trust issues, couples desire discrepancies, sexual pain, erectile and ejaculation issues, lack of orgasm, women's and men's sexual identity development, premarital counseling, and clients' growth after sexual trauma.

My goal in therapy is to empower clients in session to make sense of personal circumstances and experiences. Through greater exploration and self-understanding, clients can strengthen their sense of self and break down barriers. I use a client-centered and strengths-based integrative approach to improve self-esteem and autonomy. With a holistic, multicultural lens I work to help clients grow and seek clarity as they work through times of stress, anxiety, change, or stagnation. I believe self-compassion is one of the most important tenets of growth, and one of the most compassionate things one can do is seek and accept support.
