Welcome! I’m Lennie. I am passionate about supporting LGBTQ+ communities, particularly those who are transgender and gender nonconforming, and those healing from trauma, experiencing grief and loss, coping with cancer and chronic illnesses, and those healing their relationship with food and body image. I believe that there is no one “right” path to recovery and healing, and that everyone has the right to pursue an enjoyable quality of life. Regardless of whether you are searching for therapy for the hundredth time or for the first time, whether you have specific goals in mind or just want to try it out and see if it works for you!
I center your voice and experiences. By providing interactive feedback, I will support you in fostering self-compassion, dismantling oppressive narratives, and making meaning. My practice is based on principles such as client-centered, trauma-informed care, body respect and weight neutrality, disability justice and liberation for all.
look forward to working with you! I have openings for virtual/telehealth sessions and also in-person in my office in NW DC. Please click the website link to schedule a free 15 minute virtual intake screening with our Intake Coordinator, Audrey.

I believe that there is no "one size fits all" approach to therapy. I often use trauma-focused approaches including interventions based on mindfulness or Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), EFT or "tapping," Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and others. During treatment, I will help you to develop the ability to be present in the "here and now".
