Therapists in Washington, DC

I am a telehealth convert. Prior to 2020, I could never have imagined that connecting with a therapist online would be so effective. But as a working parent myself, I have personally come to not only value, but depend on the flexibility and accessibility that telehealth provides for my clients. I utilize a variety of therapy modalities with a solutions-focussed core in order to meet the needs of my clients. My style is relational and client-centered. I come from a strengths-based perspective and rely on the principles of third wave cognitive behavioral therapy and understanding the impact of our early family systems.

Welcome and thank you for taking the time to visit my page! Whether you are just beginning your therapy journey, find yourself searching for help with continued healing or are you getting back in touch with yourself after time away from therapy, I would like to be there for you to help! I work with clients aged preteen-adulthood who have experienced trauma, mood disorders, ADHD, and learning disabilities. Additionally, I work with individuals in transitional life stages and caregivers who want to work through challenges in parenting/caretaking and also hope to prioritize their own mental health or life challenges.

Do you keep asking yourself "When is this going to get better?" or "Why can't I figure this out?" or "Why does this keep happening?" Your past experiences might be causing you to be fearful or angry or defensive and negative feelings often get us stuck in unhelpful repetitive patterns. When those feelings and patterns are interrupting your productivity at work or are causing communication or connection problems with friends, family members, and romantic partners, counseling can help.

I have been working with young to mid career professionals since 2012. Since then, I have become a therapist that Gen X, Y, and Z clients seek out to address various types of life challenges. I enjoy providing support and encouragement to people who are facing life stage transitions and change with all of the stress, anxiety, as well as the excitement that these events may bring. My training is in family therapy and I work within the frameworks of family systems, attachment theory, as well as grief/loss and living with loss.

You’re here because something’s not working. Whether it’s a specific event or just life piling up, I can help. Therapy with me blends visual arts with Internal Family Systems (Level 1 trained) parts work to explore your strengths and your stuck spots. You might find my approach beneficial if you relate to any of the following: you see yourself as an overachiever or perfectionist, find it hard to set boundaries, spend a lot of time in your head, struggle to sit with intense emotions, feel lonely despite being surrounded by people, have faced loss or trauma, or want to take up more space in your own life.

I have been a licensed professional counselor since 2001. I offer individual, couples and family therapy. I focus on family and life challenges pertaining to marriage, partners, family cut offs and estrangements, friends, and parenting using Bowen Family Systems Theory. I work online with individuals, couples, parents, and families from all walks of life with a wide array of family and marital challenges, emotional and relationship concerns.

Hello and thank you for having the courage and strength to learn more about YOU. Psychotherapy is a process and a process that I will take with you. About me: I began my career over 20 years ago, and have worked in several grassroots organizations with the common mission of empowering individuals. I have a love for service and advocacy particularity for the most vulnerable and disenfranchised groups.

I am a licensed mental health counselor. I received my graduate degree from New York University and I am an experienced professional therapist for individuals, couples, and families trained at the Ackerman Institute for the Family in New York City. I specialize in relationship issues within the family, couple, and/or individual, improving the understanding of oneself and their relationship to others. I track the impact of family history on relationships, and the complex patterns of interaction that play out within relationships to help re-establish better connections and form better pathways to healthier communication.

I've worked with a variety of populations including adults, elderly, and children, and presenting issues including depression, bipolar disorder, severe mental illness, and trauma. My experience includes inpatient, community-based, school, and outpatient settings. I believe each individual has the power to change, and it is my privilege to work through life's challenges together with you.

I ascribe to an integrative approach based on a strengths model of treatment. I aim to assist clients in overcoming challenges they may face by helping them identify and access personal strengths. I have been trained in psycho-dynamic, interpersonal, family systems, empowerment, cognitive and behavioral therapies. I utilize an approach that best addresses the concerns/issues you may have.

The problem is not within you (even though it probably feels like it is), and yet you have the ability to shift things internally and externally to become more present, increase your connection to self and others, and to live more fully in accordance with your values. I have helped people to change their relationships with substances and other addictions; worked with military veterans to rediscover community and purpose as civilians; and supported those with complex trauma to build a sense of trust and safety in relationships.
