Parenting Therapists in Washington, DC
I have specific interest and training in the pregnancy and postpartum period, and early parenting.
I’ve found that patients often come to me during a time of transition. They are often grappling with separation, connection, and impactful decisions; and many set out to address issues of identity, family concerns, relationships, and careers. Therapy can be a process of both healing and growing. Together we can explore important aspects of your past, while working to improve your present. I foster warm and collaborative relationships, and aim for patients to feel understood, supported, and appropriately challenged. I approach each new therapy relationship with curiosity, flexibility, and openness.

I have advanced training in play therapy and parent-child therapy for caregivers and their infants or young children, as well as in psychoanalytic psychotherapy for adults, adolescents, and children.
The key to successful therapy is a relationship with a caring, nonjudgmental therapist there to respond sensitively and patiently to whatever comes up. In my work, I offer that to my clients, as we collaborate in developing an understanding of your emotional states and how they drive your thoughts and actions. We’ll learn together what you need to strengthen and grow. My work with children and adolescents informs my understanding of development over the life span, and how those relationships and experiences that shape us are alive in the present moment.

Some of my specific specialties are Trauma, PTSD, Depression; Bi-Polar D/O; Bullying, Addiction, and Adolescent/ Parenting Issues.
My therapeutic viewpoint is that all clients can change if they have a supportive therapist in a therapeutic environment that is conducive to change. Additionally, they must have the desire to change, set goals, and work on the skills needed outside of the counseling session to create lasting change.
