Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in Washington, DC
All of us create patterns of behavior in our formative years to help us survive real and perceived dangers. What are those patterns? How have those patterns constricted our lives today? My approach to therapy is interpersonal. I integrate elements of family systems theory, attachment theory, existential theory, and psychodynamic theory, among others in my work. I believe real change occurs through the collaborative, moment-to-moment interactions between therapist and client in an honest and compassionate space.

We all have a unique journey in life, as individuals and as couples, and I believe that our resilience is as unique as our journey. I work with clients to help them overcome distressing cycles that make them feel stuck and empower them to find stability, create healthier relationships and live an enriched life. Together we explore underlying emotions and find new ways of coping with past traumas, difficult life transitions, loss, relational distress and other mental health issues. While EMDR, mindfulness and cultural sensitivity are at the core of my practice, I also integrate Psychodynamic and CBT interventions.

Are you grappling with intense emotions or painful memories, navigating life transitions, or seeking a space for open conversation and self-discovery? Do you experience anxiety, tension, or overwhelm, or wonder why you feel irritable, tearful, or unable to enjoy your usual activities? In times of stress, people often withdraw, avoid, or adopt other unhealthy habits, only to find it makes them feel worse. You probably long for more effective ways to cope, handle your emotions, and work towards a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Something feels unsettled. Maybe it’s a persistent sense of worry, a heaviness that’s difficult to name, or relationship patterns that make you feel distant from yourself or the people you care about most. You’ve spent years managing, accommodating, or keeping things moving—but lately, it feels like the cost is too high. You may not have words for all of it yet, but you know it’s time to turn inward, to move differently. My role is to help you make sense of what’s really going on beneath the surface—gently, at your pace, and with care that honors your past, your culture, your identity, and your capacity to heal.

Feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or quietly exhausted—even when life looks “fine” on the outside—is more common than you might think. Many of the women I work with are navigating career pressure, relationship strain, identity shifts, or burnout while holding a lot for others. I specialize in therapy for Gen Z, millennial, and midlife women seeking support with anxiety, stress, relationships, and life transitions. My approach is relational, thoughtful, and personalized, offering a calm, nonjudgmental space to explore what feels out of balance and what’s asking for attention now.
