I have extensive experience helping adolescents, adults, and older adults navigate anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
As a therapist, I believe that every individual has the potential to flourish. Flourishing involves enhancing happiness, well-being, and a sense of purpose. To achieve this, individuals must understand and nurture their strengths. By cultivating personal strengths, people can deepen interpersonal relationships, increase joy and satisfaction, and contribute meaningfully to society.

It is brave to choose how you want to craft your life. Many people are struggling through big life transitions, are unhappy in their relationships, or they want to move past anxiety and depression. Therapy is a place to understand what is happening now, and how to create something different and better to feel more satisfied. If this is you, I offer a space to look at and understand what is happening in your life, and how you can regain a sense of agency to create what you want. I am warm and engaging, and together we find patterns in your life that keep showing up and getting in your way. We look at how to cultivate what you want.

I am a Clinical Social Worker, licensed to practice in DC, Maryland and Virginia. I work with adults and couples from all walks of life who are dealing with personal issues including depression, anxiety, tensions in their relationships, and major life transitions. I am passionate about the healing power of therapy. Therapy can resolve long standing psychological issues that take great courage to address. It can also be a great support when people deal with unexpected life changes, such as for example loss of a loved one, becoming a parent, divorce, homesickness, adjusting to a new environment, retiring or starting a new career.

Hi everyone—my name is Andromeda, and I’m happy you’re here. Mental health is not a journey we should have to navigate alone, and I believe healing happens best in spaces where we feel seen and empowered. My path has been shaped by my passions for mental health and entertainment, allowing me to serve as a therapist and advocate. I help my clients connect with their inner strength by cultivating self-compassion and building sustainable habits. As a first-generation Ghanaian, Afro-Indigenous therapist, I bring a culturally grounded perspective. My goal is to help clients deepen self-understanding and learn how to meet their needs.

You may have achieved external success, but internally you’re exhausted, on edge, or stuck in patterns you can’t think your way out of. Many of my clients are professionals in demanding roles in public service, law, healthcare, military, and executive leadership who are deeply capable and quietly overwhelmed. I provide depth-oriented trauma therapy for people who have tried talk therapy and need something that works at the felt, the nervous-system level.

Accepting new clients. I believe therapy is a space for you to interrogate beliefs, regain a sense of agency, and to rewrite your story. I will work with you to gently explore the origins of beliefs that no longer serve you and use evidenced based therapy to empower you. Additionally, I work with couples and those in ENM relationships to improve communication, repair trust, reduce conflict, and, strengthen bonds. As a Black, gay man, I am especially interested in creating a welcoming space for clients from the LGBTQ+ community. Immediate openings for couples/polycules.

Creating real change, especially in how we relate to ourselves and others, is rarely easy. Even when old patterns no longer serve us, shifting them takes more than insight. What helps is a space for both reflection and challenge. I offer a respectful and grounded environment to explore your experiences and responses to life’s complexities. My goal is to support deeper self-understanding, more honest relationships, and a more meaningful way of living. I speak English, Portuguese, and Spanish.

In a world full of judgment, you need to trust that your therapist is affirming and ready to hear your "deep, dark secrets." With that, you can then talk about what's really going on and address your true concerns. I have experience helping people with all kinds of issues, including relationships, sex and sexuality, addictions, gender identity, physical/emotional/sexual abuse, as well as general questions of self-worth. Together, we will explore any issue that is important to you. We will discuss how past experiences shape what you're currently thinking and feeling.
