Sports Performance Therapists in Washington, DC
Sports psychology (equestrian sports in particular), infertility, anxiety, narcissistic abuse recovery, trauma, parenting support and executive coaching are interests.
Are you in an unhealthy relationship? Is it hard for you to set boundaries with significant others? Do you have difficulty making decisions? Doubting yourself or feeling like an imposter can make tough times (and difficult decisions) even tougher. I can help you explore and develop a greater understanding and appreciation of your authentic self. Our bodies do keep the score, so it’s vital to connect mind and body. Unprocessed trauma can block that connection. Once our nervous system is regulated, everything seems to fall into place: Anxiety decreases, as does pain perception, while cognitive and creative capabilities increase.

My 40 plus years in the mental health field have been shaped by my work in two major areas: thirty years working in a psychiatric hospital, and my on-going private practice . These two defining experiences have brought to me an awareness of the enormous resiliency of the human spirit and mind and of the capacity for everyone to achieve change in their lives. Sometimes the change is massive, sometimes it is less major, but not necessarily less important. Sometimes that change may require developing a whole new perspective on life or relationships, while at others it may only involve looking at a problem from a different angle.

I help clients navigate challenges like relationship struggles, excessive worry over school or sports, and trauma.
From middle school to early adulthood, life is full of exciting new chapters—but also challenging plot twists. School pressures, trouble with friends, new transitions, family dynamics, or even day-to-day stress can leave us feeling anxious, unmotivated, or overwhelmed. For neurodivergent individuals, these experiences can feel even more intense, as navigating a world not designed with you in mind adds unique challenges.
It's not easy to navigate these moments alone. When you feel seen and understood, you move forward with confidence and resilience. Let's create your next great chapter together.

My approach to therapy is open, supportive, and fosters curiosity instead of judgment. I work to help clients achieve insight about the origins of symptoms, while at the same time providing ways to cope with distressing emotions in the present. Our lives can be full of challenges that leave us feeling sad, overwhelmed, alone, and afraid. Sometimes we are unable to understand why we harbor such feelings. Therapy allows us to sort through our emotions, unhelpful behaviors, and negative self-beliefs so that we can continue on with more clarity, self-assurance, purpose, and happiness.

Envision a forest path you’ve followed again and again. Once comforting, it now feels limiting and uninspired. A star breaks through the clouds, inviting you to step off the familiar trail and explore uncharted ground. Though uncertainty and fear arise, you recognize that staying on the old path would mean standing still.
