You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck in painful patterns, emotionally exhausted, or simply not like yourself anymore. Therapy can offer a space to better understand what is happening beneath the surface, while also helping you feel more grounded, connected, and empowered in your daily life. My approach is warm, thoughtful, and deeply attuned to each person’s unique experience. Clients often describe feeling genuinely understood—sometimes for the first time—in ways that lead to meaningful and lasting change.
Dupont Circle Office
I specialize in helping individuals move beyond surface-level coping by understanding and addressing the underlying causes of their distress. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, or a more persistent sense of dissatisfaction, our work will focus on uncovering meaningful patterns and creating lasting relief.
I am often trusted by other healthcare professionals and individuals who are used to being in lidership positions. My goal is to offer a space where you feel motivated, understood, and at ease—while also helping you move forward with clarity, strength, and a greater sense of agency in your life.

I work from a psychodynamic perspective, allowing us to understand your symptoms at their roots, rather than simply addressing them on the surface. Having lived across multiple cultures, I bring awareness to diverse backgrounds and ways of living. I also feel at home working with existential questions—issues of meaning, identity, and life transitions—which are often at the core of many symptoms.
