Transpersonal Therapists in Washington, DC
I am a mental health clinician who practices in both Maryland and Michigan. Treatment will vary just as our individual personalities vary. I am looking for clients who are unsure of what they want or need but are willing to explore. I am looking for clients who have goals but need help starting the journey. I am also looking for clients who know what they want, they have begun the work, but need more support. No matter the stage or phase of treatment, I am looking for clients willing to do the work.

I've served hundreds of people who care deeply about the world and others, but often feel anxious, fearful, dissociated, or dissatisfied with themselves, their relationships, and overall lives. This is often influenced by past trauma, painful relationship experiences, stress, and oppressive social forces. Folks often work through things with me they've hesitated exploring, such as childhood abuse, sexual assault, relational violence, complex grief, and non-ordinary state experiences. I am passionate about helping people heal the root of these challenges to reclaim their embodied, authentic sense of personal power and confidence.

We all suffer in life at different times in different ways for different reasons. Whether it be for a brief period, a season or a lifetime, we may find ourselves lost in the world, and mostly, to ourselves. While many individuals initially come to therapy to solve a problem in their outer lives, some discover that what they truly seek is a path home to themselves, to those they love, to the natural world and to the Mystery that is within and beyond all. A few come because they can no longer ignore their souls' need for depth and transformation.

As a therapist, my clearest purpose is to help clients to alleviate debilitating symptoms of anxiety, depression and confusion. We do that in two major ways: one, finding the sources of the symptom and exploring the origins together and two, treating the symptoms with personally tailored, evidence-based interventions. As we participate in the treasure hunt of therapy, we battle pirates, feel the rain on our faces and build new structures for shelter along the way. Imagine building a map together where X marks the spot. What is your X? If you don't know, let's find out together.

We have a lot in common. As human beings, our nature is dynamic, generous, and resilient, but our movement through life is flanked with uncertainty. In an accelerated global culture, we are challenged to define our values in the context of broader questions about what it means to be human and our place in the family of things. It's easy to feel unmoored in the drift of the world. Attuned presence is medicine for modern times; it's our primary means of accessing our authenticity, our sense of belonging, and intentional authorship of our lives.

Every crisis in our lives is an opportunity for healing and growth. I specialize in relationship issues with LGBTQIA+ and heterosexual patients. My primary approach is therapy is relational psychoanalytic, meaning I help patients use the healing power of the therapeutic relationship to uncover and work through their deepest conflicts. An interactive and empathic therapist, I offer advice and support when needed, and I share my own experiences when I think they will be helpful. Though I have extensive, in-depth training, I rely greatly on intuition and humor in my work.

Are intimacy challenges holding you back from the deep connections you deserve? Whether it's in your relationship with yourself, your partner, or your family, emotional wounds can quietly erode intimacy, leaving you feeling disconnected or unfulfilled. These challenges are often normalized, but healing is possible!

I enjoy working with people who are navigating the vicissitudes of life such as job transitions/lay-offs; relationships; people who want to understand themselves better; and people who want to grow in consciousness and heal heart-breaking experiences. I believe that we are spiritual beings having human experiences. The journey in consciousness involves the healing of the heart, soul, mind, and body. Such healing and integration serve to illuminate our genuine selves and brighten our inner spiritual light; a light that illuminates our true selves as soul, and by extension, our unique creativity, work, and contributions to the world.

All psychological issues are ultimately existential in origin, entailing a confrontation with death, loss, meaning, purpose and value. All that we do (knowingly or unknowingly) is dedicated to deciphering these daunting and irrepressible demands of existence. Few are successful in resolving or even clearly conceptualizing these existential issues and their minds inevitably descend into despair, depression and anxiety. Some seek to assuage their suffering with psychoactive substances (illicit and licit) and this leads only to addiction and abdication of autonomy over one's authentic self. My System offers a solution.

If you have tried other traditional therapies and find them lacking, you may find my Transpersonal , Jungian, and Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioral approach to be of benefit.
I have expertise in the integration of Eastern and Western psychotherapies and philosophies with modern psychodynamic principles, Non-Dual approaches, and contemplative and meditative practices. This approach encompasses the mind, body, & spirit. It is my experience that a persons deeper beliefs (what I call Meta-principles) determine life experiences.
