Secular and Non-Religious Therapists in Washington, DC
Welcome! I most enjoy working with people navigating trauma, dissociation, relationship concerns, substance use and big life transitions. Clients often begin therapy wanting to explore difficult childhood experiences, understand different parts of themselves or feel more connected to their bodies. Some find it hard to be present, like their heads are always foggy. Others learned to make themselves small, struggling to feel safe, express boundaries or build trust in relationships. Previous clients have described feeling braver, less overwhelmed and more comfortable taking up space following our time together.

What's good!
I know you’re a high-achieving professional (lawyer, healthcare worker, entrepreneur, educator) who looks successful on the outside but feel stressed, burned out, or disconnected in your personal life. Work is taking over your time, relationships, and sense of self. You want balance, stronger boundaries, and confidence beyond your career. I help men manage stress, improve relationships, and build emotional strength so they can thrive at work and at home.

Wherever you are in life's journey, when you need support you deserve a therapist who takes the time to understand you. Whether you are experiencing stress related to work, challenges in relationships, or struggling with any other area of life, you deserve support that is specific to you, from someone who cares about and prioritizes your needs. I am passionate about helping people in the LGBTQ community, and as a member of the community myself, I understand the importance of having a therapist who can care for you with competence and respect, positivity toward sex and non-monogamy, and without judgment.

In a world full of judgment, you need to trust that your therapist is affirming and ready to hear your "deep, dark secrets." With that, you can then talk about what's really going on and address your true concerns. I have experience helping people with all kinds of issues, including relationships, sex and sexuality, addictions, gender identity, physical/emotional/sexual abuse, as well as general questions of self-worth. Together, we will explore any issue that is important to you. We will discuss how past experiences shape what you're currently thinking and feeling.

Welcome! Have you ever reached the point of thinking, “Okay, I’m self-aware… now what?” My work supports individuals at different stages of self-understanding.

Many of my clients understand their patterns, emotions, and history, yet struggle to translate that awareness into meaningful change. I offer a supportive space to explore emotions and past experiences while also helping you move from understanding to intentional action.

I work with people who long for deeper, more reciprocal relationships, a life that actually fits, and a way of being that doesn’t require so much effort to maintain. You know how to hold it all together. You show up, take care of others, work hard, and keep moving, regardless of what you need. Externally, all looks well, but internally, you feel stuck in patterns that leave you feeling drained, unseen, weighed down by pain, burned out, or always chasing. I specialize in working with high-performers, perfectionists, people pleasers, or anxious attachers who seek greater satisfaction, connection, peace, and balance in their life.
