Therapists in Washington, DC
Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not quite like yourself? Maybe you're navigating a life change, dealing with anxiety or depression, feeling drained by relationships, or carrying the weight of past experiences. I work with individuals across the lifespan and gender identities, but I specialize in working with young adult women who are coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, codependency, and chronic illness. My clients are often thoughtful, high-achieving people who’ve spent years caring for others and are now realizing it’s time to care for themselves, too.

My treatment approach is flexible and pragmatic, based upon a core belief that gaining insight into one's self and others will lead to desired behavioral changes and an overall sense of well-being. I enjoy working with individuals and couples. I am particularly skilled at helping those who feel frustrated or discouraged with relationships and/or progress toward life goals. I utilize insight-oriented, cognitive, and behavioral approaches with an emphasis on tailoring treatment to each individual.

Are you experiencing suffering? Do you feel stuck in uncomfortable emotions, relational conflicts, unhelpful patterns, or problematic behaviors? Do you feel unable to change on your own? I am passionate about coming alongside clients and creating a calm, safe, and accepting space to heal and grow. I see clients with a variety of concerns, such as anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem/confidence, relational conflicts, and a sense of feeling disconnected from one's true self/purpose. Regardless of what issues are present in your life, I believe you have inherent goodness, dignity, and worth that are permanent and infinite.

You've always been the one others count on-confident, capable and driven. You show up. You deliver. But lately, the pressure feels heavier The anxiety sharper. The fear of failure louder. It's as if the balance you worked so hard to maintain is slipping, and the weight of it all is becoming harder to carry alone. Even the most resilient professionals reach a point where pushing through isn't enough. This is where therapy can help you untangle the overload and find space to breath again. One of the first things I tell clients is" Let Thoughts Come and Go. Just don't Serve them Tea."

Conflict with loved ones can feel uniquely painful and consuming. Friendships, romantic partnerships, and parent-child connections have the potential to bring deep joy. But when relationships become strained or break down, it is hard to focus on anything other than making the pain stop. If you are replaying conversations, wondering why the same arguments keep happening, and desperately wishing for more joy and ease in personal or professional relationships, you are not alone. Support can help.

A lot of men grow up believing they need to handle everything alone. Stress, anger, relationship problems, divorce, burnout, anxiety, feeling emotionally shut down — many men carry these struggles quietly for years before reaching out for help.
I work with men who are tired of just “getting through” life and want to understand what’s actually going on underneath the surface. Therapy with me is straightforward, honest, and focused on helping you make real changes — not endless talking without direction.

I hope to support you as a caregiver and your child on your journey. No matter how you got here, whether through adjustments, trauma, grief, attachment, divorce, anxiety or other mental health related challenges. I work with both caregiver and child/teen to establish realistic goals that don't lead to a perfect road but one that feels safe enough to travel. This means caregiver presence is important throughout the process as you both explore new ways of being.

I am a counselor with years of experience working with clients who are managing depression, anxiety, and chronic illnesses.
