Individual therapy can be a game changer. Are you struggling to connect with others or to move on from a painful experience? I can help you get unstuck and deal with life's future curve balls. Working as a team, I tailor my therapeutic approach to your individual goals. With each session, I work to create a warm and trusting space for growth and healing. By processing core issues, you can change unhelpful emotional, cognitive, and behavioral patterns in sustainable ways. I am able to provide in-person therapy in my Dupont Circle, DC office and online therapy for folks physically located in DC and MD.
My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, relationships, divorce, second acts in life, work and parenting stress, caregiver burnout, trauma, and self-doubt. My emotion-focused approach is rooted in psychodynamic and attachment theories. I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
What that means is we'll get to the root of things so you can make long-lasting changes and live a happier life. If you think we might be a good fit, reach out for a free call and we can talk it through.
