Some reasons you might seek therapy with me include the following: if you are struggling with anxiety or depression; if you lack motivation or feel overwhelmed by stress; if you are having trouble in your romantic or social relationships; if you are grieving the loss of a loved one; if you are navigating challenging workplace relationships; or if you are having strong emotional responses you don't understand.
I specialize in helping people navigate anxiety, depression, grief, relationships, and stress, as well as issues relating to childhood trauma or a difficult family. We will work together to heal present symptoms while looking to the past and familial relationships, when necessary, to understand any other factors getting in the way of your happiest life.
My background and training is in psychodynamic therapy and complex trauma therapy. I am happy to offer online therapy when preferred, but I am also always available to meet in person in my office in downtown DC. My practice is always a safe and confidential space to explore all topics, including those related to race, ethnicity, sexuality, and gender.
