Therapists in Washington, DC

Psychotherapy can help you make sense of complicated feelings, gain insight into relational patterns, and begin to move forward in areas of your life where you feel stuck. My focus is to help you untangle struggles, set meaningful goals, revise problematic narratives about yourself, and re-orient you toward your values. My integrative approach is informed by psychodynamic, feminist, multicultural, relational, and behaviorist theories. Above all, I value the therapeutic relationship and your personal growth. I offer therapy, assessment, and gender affirming evaluation services in person and remotely.

Our trauma informed and culturally sensitive clinicians provide professional services with respect, sensitivity and responsiveness. We treat each client, couple and group with compassion and work collaboratively to alleviate distress and promote optimal growth. Therapy will offer you an opportunity to know yourself better; address and identify current and long-standing difficulties; optimize your innate strengths; experience less pain and suffering; alleviate self-defeating behaviors; build and maintain healthier relationships; become more resilient and adaptable to change; and feel more equipped to manage and enjoy your life.

Feeling stuck in a negative mindset? Having difficulty moving forward from trauma? Seeking support for activating change in your life? It is my goal to help individuals move forward from challenges that have them feeling stuck, and guide them towards reaching clarity and personal meaning in their life. Sessions with me focus on allowing your free association and having the space to discuss the things that most concern you. We will work together in achieving your personal goals while aiming to develop a greater sense of self worth, connection with one's values and communities, and embracing your unique experience in doing so.

You may have come here because something is not working in your life and you want it better or because you want more from life. I come with my training, my 30 years of experience as a psychotherapist, my many more years of life experience, my mind, good heart and my intention to heal. You come with your issues, your past, perhaps with your anxiety, depression, or guilt. You also come with your strengths, some of which you might not recognize, and upon which we will build. I believe we are equal as humans, just sitting different chairs. I look forward to working with you.
