Grief Therapists in Washington, DC
Whether it’s the frustrating loops of OCD, the quiet weight of grief, or the heavy fog of depression, being “stuck” is exhausting—especially when you are a motivated person with a clear vision for your future.
I offer a warm, clinical space to set down the pressure to “perform” and simply be seen. Whether navigating peri- or post-menopause, or the hum of anxiety, my evidence-based, integrative framework is designed to bridge the gap between where you are today and the life you know is possible.

Do you want to feel more connected to others? How about to yourself? Are things from your past getting in the way? Therapy allows for the time and space to focus on you. I believe all of us are capable of change, and therapy is one way to begin that change process. I work from an empowerment approach - in other words, I know that you are the expert about who you are, where you're from, and where you're going. My role is to provide feedback, guidance, and a safe environment to process that journey.

Many of the people I work with are women in their 20s and 30s navigating relationships, pregnancy, or major life decisions. On the outside, life may look stable, with a career, relationships, and plans for the future, but inside things can feel uncertain or overwhelming. I have advanced training in perinatal mental health and often work with first-time parents and women thinking about starting a family.

For over 25 years, I have been working with teens, adults and seniors, helping them reassess what they want out of life and how to get it, change their approach to work and relationships, and heal the emotional and spiritual pain of loss, anxiety and depression.
