English
| Français Accepting therapy clients in MD, DC, and VA. I offer EMDR, trauma-informed, relational therapy with a focus on complex trauma and eating disorders. I integrate DBT skills to support emotion regulation, mindfulness, and healthy relationships. My approach is compassionate, inclusive, and grounded in social justice.
Areas of Concentration:
-Complex trauma (including childhood abuse, sexual trauma, and intimate partner violence)
-Eating disorders
-Military mental health and support for veterans/their families
-Young adults navigating life transitions
-Athlete mental health and performance concerns
I tailor my therapeutic approach to each client's individual needs. I am an EMDR trained clinician and often use this modality to treat clients who have experienced trauma. I also offer talk therapy, often using components of DBT to help clients improve coping & mindfulness skills, distress tolerance, and interpersonal relationships.
If you are a client looking to connect with a therapist who uses a relational approach and practices from a social-justice and decolonized lens, please reach out today to get started on your therapy journey!
