Therapists in District Of Columbia, DC

Do you feel overwhelmed and in need of some guidance? Does it feel like everything around you is changing and you don’t know where to begin? I believe we are all capable of healing and finding peace, we just might need a little help to get there. In my practice, I help clients navigate change by recognizing their emotions, inspiring insight, exploring their beliefs, and getting in touch with their bodies. Together, we explore the roots of your issues with the goal of reducing anxiety and depression, processing past traumas, understanding your relationships, and making meaning out of life transitions and loss.

I take an individualized approach to therapy that’s tailored to your personal needs and goals. Within a warm and supportive environment, we examine the challenges you’re facing and the way forward. Using concrete skills and strategies, we'll work collaboratively to equip you with versatile tools to apply in your daily life.

Currently accepting telehealth clients for Tuesday mornings! Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders are the most under-diagnosed obstetric complication in the US. Current estimates are that up to 1 in 5 women will fight depression postpartum and that non-gestational parents are also at an increased risk for depression and anxiety. While the "baby-blues" effect up to 80% of new moms, depression differs in its intensity and other key features. Early and expert therapeutic care is incredibly helpful in reducing these symptoms of anxiety and depression and carving out a new identity in the world's most difficult role-that of parent.
