I will work with you to increase insight into your struggles, actively identify and work toward goals, and build resilience against stress. While I enjoy the diversity of private practice, I specialize in relationships (straight and gay), LGBT concerns, couples, anxiety and depression, and life transitions and losses. Building insight involves examining ways one's past impacts the present. I believe that this coupled with making concrete changes in one's life leads to a successful therapy. I am an active psychologist who will help you make these changes thoughtfully and effectively.
I use a holistic flexible approach, in which I consider the unique needs of each client and the integration of cultural factors. I often teach mindfulness, which can lead to increased focus, stress and anxiety reduction, mood improvement, and more productive use of therapy. I am trained in Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and Psychedelic informed.
I am available for a free phone consultation. While I am out of network with all insurance plans, I absolutely offer sliding scale. You may also submit my invoice for out of network reimbursement. I am offering in-person psychotherapy at my office at 1701 K St NW as well as virtual therapy. I am in PSYPACT and can work across participating state lines.
