Dissociative Disorders (DID) Therapists in Washington, DC
We all have anxieties. We have defenses against hurt that we build up over time, that become solidified into unproductive patterns of behavior and prevent us from living our best lives. We all, from time to time, lose connection with ourselves and those around us, as we try and do the million things that daily life demands of us. It’s okay. You’re not alone.

You're a badass go-getter, motivated by working towards your life's goals, but something feels stuck or slows your progress. Your life is mostly together, but you're dealing with anxiety, low-self esteem, or negative self-talk pretty regularly. Maybe you feel like it's hard to form relationships with others around you. There's a chance social media makes you feel inadequate. Maybe you still feel or notice the effects of a trauma in your past. You've considered talking to someone about these things before, but therapy always seemed drastic or a little too extra. (I promise, it's not!) Email or call if this sounds like you!

I’m warm yet direct. I notice subtle shifts, existential themes, and the many ways shame sneaks in. My approach is rooted in being genuine and honest so we can build a real connection. We can care for painful memories without forcing past your walls. It can be hard to share things face-to-face sometimes. So, I share optional, outside-of-session check-in surveys to ensure our work stays meaningful.

My approach to therapy begins with forming mutual trust. I believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship, the right 'fit', and that a foundation of support and connection can empower you to explore your past and understand how it is impacting your 'now'.

The people I work with cycle between trying to live up to their own or others' expectations, and then cope in self-defeating (or self-destructive) ways when they inevitably don't measure up. They avoid, lash out, and withdraw. They misuse substances, food, and their bodies. They get stuck; they get waylaid from their goals; and they get into trouble with their health, finances, relationships, and jobs. Anxiety, depression, and addictions take center stage, as their lives get further and further away from the life they wanted for themselves. If this is you, I can help.

In a non-judgemental, respectful atmosphere I accompany people along their journey to living richer, more meaningful life. I encourage people to broaden their awareness into their thoughts, feelings, reactions and behaviors to identify strengths and whats working and challenges and how they are getting in the way. Recognizing the the mind-body-spirit connection, understanding healthy and antiquated defenses and increasing capacity for feeling a greater range of emotions at a deeper level is an important focus of the psychotherapy process. Identifying feelings, understanding reactions and learning better, more effective means of communicating with others is integral as well.

Struggles with self-esteem, body image, or self-worth often originate from unresolved early issues. By addressing these root causes, we can alleviate the burdens individuals carry and guide them towards effective solutions. Exploring these origins is crucial for developing a treatment plan that helps individuals release negativity and embrace positivity. Open communication between client and therapist is essential for tailoring the best alternative plans to meet the client's needs.

I specialize in neurodiversity-affirming testing for autism, ADHD and mental health for kids and adults. Clients often come to me seeking testing for the first time or as a second opinion after feeling misunderstood by other clinicians. I strive to create a comfortable environment where you feel validated and understood. My goal is to understand more about your unique lived experience and neurodivergence, get you the right diagnosis, and help you get connected with the resources that you need. We offer ADHD coaching too. Testing is available virtually and in Nashville and Murfreesboro, TN.

My goal as a therapist is to inspire hope and change by providing a safe, supportive and nonjudgmental environment to build a therapeutic relationship that allows for courageous “self-study”. With understanding self comes clarity, and relief, which in turn creates the opportunity to cultivate new healthy ways to think, feel, and react. By working collaboratively, you will uncover, understand, and overcome challenges including loneliness, guilt, shame, fear, grief, and self-doubt.

As a psychologist, I work with people who are struggling with painful symptoms or patterns that feel hard to change. Together, we look gently and honestly at what may be getting in the way, including the subtle ways we all protect ourselves from difficult truths. In the safety of a supportive therapeutic relationship, this deeper self-understanding can open the door to real change. My clients often find that our work leads to greater confidence, more fulfilling relationships, and freedom from self-defeating patterns. The heart and foundation of this process is the ongoing growth of the therapeutic relationship itself.

I am results-oriented and believe that healing begins within a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship. My work is grounded in knowing that the past—whether shaped by trauma, regret, or missed opportunities—doesn’t have to hold us back. Instead, it can become the very foundation for growth, and lasting change.
Certified in EMDR, I help individuals process and move through traumatic experiences in a safe, supportive environment. My work also includes helping those caught in cycles of overthinking, doubt, or fear-driven habits—stuck in mental loops, compulsive or ritualistic behaviors they can't stop, no matter how hard they try.

I’m licensed to see patients in both New York state as well as District of Columbia.
As a trained psychoanalyst, I believe there are aspects of ourselves we’re not fully aware of. These things can have a big impact on what we think, how we feel, and how we act — in essence, how we experience ourselves and others. The reason we’re not aware of these things is because sometimes they’re too painful or confusing — so our minds have a way of keeping them out of our direct awareness.
