Play Therapy in Washington, DC
I believe therapy can play a powerful role in interrupting cycles of intergenerational trauma and that this process is social justice work.
I believe each of us has the innate ability to heal from past trauma and pain and nurture our authentic selves. My clients bring varied challenges to therapy including trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger, grief, shame, and difficulty with transitions or relationships. Clients have told me I have been a safe person, empathetic and non-judgmental listener, trusted guide, and empowering source of support. I help clients engage in self-exploration, identify patterns and strengths, develop self-compassion and confidence, access calm presence, distinguish past from present, face fears, shift reactions, and thrive.

My goal in therapy is to allow my clients to create more space in their lives and build healthier patterns. Our relationships are a large part of what make us who we are, yet our relationships can also be a great source of frustration, coupled with the stresses of daily life. I use a strengths-based, integrative approach in therapy, working with individuals, couples, and families. I find that the ideal time for a client to enter therapy is when one feels stuck or notices negative patterns, and is ready to create a positive change.

I practice providing clients with a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to feel comfortable with the therapeutic process. I've worked with a wide population; youth to adulthood, LGBTQIA+, POC and Non-POC. I've worked with clients going through various life changes, trauma, DV, depression, grief, anxiety, and ADHD. I work from an integrative model and will modify treatment so that it best fits the client; I have a strong foundation in DBT and Play Therapy. I provide clients with the space to feel heard and seen, set goals, feel challenged, build coping skills and their resiliency threshold to lead a satisfying life.

It takes courage to face emotional and relationship problems. With over 20 years professional experience treating clients and consulting to businesses, I specialize in helping people find and utilize their strengths and sideline their difficulties. With children and adults, I specialize in treating complex anxiety, attachment, and learning issues and developing talent and leadership. Once clients are freed from the crippling impact of excessive anxiety, emotional dysregulation, or self defeating behavior patterns, drawing upon Positive Psychology and Mindfulness techniques helps us identify and capitalize on personal strengths. Clients are able to heal - thrive - grow - bloom into excellence.
