Therapists for Toddlers in Washington, DC
It's difficult to untie emotional knots complicating relationships, self-confidence and understanding past experiences. Therapy is an opportunity to uncover core emotional issues, learning techniques that foster insight about how these issues affect you. I believe these insights can support you to make meaningful changes.

Life has its ups and downs. You want to have the skills, resources, and supports to weather whatever the world throws at you and you want that for your family too. As strong and resourceful as we are, no one has the ability to manage everything, all the time. Every now and then, any one of us could use a little extra help. Maybe you have been feeling more stressed. Maybe you are going through a major life change. Maybe there have been concerns about your child’s development or behavior. Maybe you or your loved one has been diagnosed with a learning or developmental disability, or you want to know more about ADHD, Autism, or Anxiety.

My practice focuses on adolescents and adults of all ages. I conceptualize issues from a cognitive-behavioral approach, meaning that I will explore together with you the thoughts and feelings related to your behavior patterns and examine the impact of any biological, psychological, and social factors. We will work together to make manageable changes so that you can feel better and move forward to reach your goals. Therapy often leads to better relationships, solutions to problems, and a reduction in anxiety and stress.

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.

First and foremost, I want to say you are not alone. You are not the first parent/caregiver to make the huge respective decision to ask for SUPPORT when it is needed.

You may feel you’ve exhausted everything in the book, or you just don't know what else to do, leaving you exhausted, burned out or ashamed – that’s where I step in! Parenting is no joke, no blissful forged social media post, nothing that we’re ever truly prepared for. But what we can do is work together and heal together.
