Therapists in Washington, DC
I support clients in gaining insight, regulating emotions, exploring their thoughts and making conscious choices to manage or improve their mental health. We'll work through exploring identity, sadness, worry, substance use, overwhelm, caretaker stress, mood changes, shame, worry, depression, concentration, transitions/adjustment, social comparison and pressure, relationships, trauma and more. We'll complete a treatment plan/goals to guide our process. We will explore how and why you adopted certain cognitive, behavioral and emotional patterns and identify new skills to manage or eliminate symptoms.

You notice patterns in your life that you want to better understand and change. These patterns show up in relationships, your own stress and struggles, and other areas in which you feel stuck. You want to be able to live your life in a way that feels true to who you are and how you want to show up in your relationships and in the world.

We all face difficulties at some point in life. Psychotherapy is a process of understanding the source of these difficulties, and working to understand and address them, in the context of an empathic therapeutic relationship. I am particularly concerned with how we create a meaningful life, engage in intimate relationships, and feel authentic connection with others. My clinical areas of interest include relationship issues, anxiety, depression, sexual identity/fluidity, and racial/cultural trauma.

I obtained my Masters of Social Work with a focus on interpersonal practice from the University of Michigan and have years in diverse settings. I believe we all have another level in us that we can unlock from the lessons we learn through self-exploration. It’s an internal process I have been supporting people with for years. For some, it may be reached by healing from traumatic experiences or learning to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, or other mental health diagnoses. For others, it may be strengthening communication, building or repairing relationships, working through familial issues, or discovering the true you.

For most of us, especially in the context of romantic relationships, we have things that have happened in our past that influence how we are responding to challenges in the present. These past events do not need to be especially traumatic in order to have an impact. I work with individuals and couples on identifying unhelpful patterns occurring in their present-day lives, help them gain a better understanding of where these patterns started, and - most importantly - I provide actual, meaningful ways to change these unhelpful patterns so that clients can live less chaotic, more meaningful lives.

I get it! I completely understand the many demanding roles we have in life and all the complexities in between. Balancing our many different roles can be a daily challenge. As a seasoned therapist, I have had the pleasure of assisting people from all walks of life with discerning and developing their overall life's direction in ways that provide lasting fulfillment. My services have assisted individuals and couples with identifying personalized methods of expression. No matter where we perceive our deceits to be, it's ultimately up to us to repair ourselves and graciously move towards a path of healing.
