Gestalt Therapists in Washington, DC
Licensed in both CA and DC, I believe therapy is a wonderful avenue for individuals to discover more about themselves and their self-worth. It is about growing, protecting boundaries, and healing through discovering and repairing past and present wounds.
I specialize in adolescents, teens, and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, complex trauma, and difficulty with life transitions (moving, parenthood, marriage, etc). I am EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) trained to help individuals process and move past their traumatic experiences, allowing them to heal and find peace.

You may find yourself here because something in you is tired of holding it all together.
Perhaps you’ve been carrying layers of anxiety, the weight of old trauma, or the ache of disconnection in your relationships. Maybe you’ve been successful on the outside, but inside you feel restless, lonely, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to shift.
You might long for a deeper sense of wholeness, something more than just managing symptoms. A life where you feel at home in your body, connected to your heart, and free to live authentically.
I help adults move beyond survival mode into a grounded, connected, and more alive way of being.

Therapy works best when you’re feeling understood. By processing and understanding the events of your life and your reaction to them, we will identify healthy coping strategies to manage stress and strong emotions. Have you experienced a loss that feels overwhelming? Feeling “stuck” or alone in your grief? Together, we can work to help you feel better. Our lives and problems can be more deeply understood through a structured reflection of the past. I use a mix of psychodynamic psychotherapy and cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) to help people notice and be curious about their feelings, thoughts, behaviors.

Processing painful experiences and emotions can be challenging, though I am committed to working collaboratively and supporting clients in becoming healthier and creating more rewarding and fulfilling relationships.

My approach is warm, welcomes your spirituality, and is grounded in Mindfulness, Gestalt, IFS, and Somatic Awareness.
If you are feeling stuck, confused, or weighed down, we will work towards a real sense of freedom, internal clarity, and ease. If you feel you don’t have a place in this world or a right to be here, we will journey towards finding a grounded sense of belonging and authenticity, so that you can discover new possibilities for purpose and meaning. If you feel at war with yourself or your body and aren’t sure what you even want or need, we will move towards peace and understanding from the inside out. I have experienced all of these things, and would be honored to walk alongside you in your process of healing and discovery.

I view therapy as a space for reflection, meaning-making, and increased self-awareness. Together, we explore how early experiences, cultural values, and generational patterns shape present-day stress, relationships, and self-concept.

You deserve to be heard and understood. And yet, healing requires more than talking and listening. It takes things like— 1) being in your body, in ways that feel safe, grounding, and good; 2) connecting with your internal parts or aspects, especially if they seem unacceptable, out-of-control, or bad; and 3) engaging your right brain, so you link your thoughts with emotions, body sensations, and images.
