Therapists in Washington, DC

Welcome. My practice focuses on supporting clients with difficulties that arise as they adjust to pregnancy, birth and parenting. I have a special interest in the communication and emotional needs of infants and toddlers and in helping parents who are struggling to enjoy their relationships with their young children. I also enjoy working with issues unrelated to parenting, including depression, anxiety, trauma, difficulties with transitions or problems in relationships, as well as working with people who would like space to think about who they are, what experiences have shaped them and how they want to live life going forward.

I believe people have the ability and strength to heal and change, sometimes we just need a little help in getting there. Through an integrative approach, I help clients recognize their strengths, and explore their patterns to help them realize their full potential. I believe that the core of therapy is a strong therapeutic relationship - my practice style is warm and empathic - I truly enjoy getting to know my clients, and I believe the relationship between therapist and client is essential in change.

I believe connection has a transformative power, allowing us to feel heard and understood as we navigate life. Using the power of relationships, it is my privilege to join clients on their personal journeys of looking within, which can lead to growth and healing. I create a safe space for my clients in which they are able to develop the insights and skills needed to enhance feelings of joy, self-compassion, and confidence. As a licensed therapist in the DC metro area, I work with teens, adults, parents, and women in the perinatal and postpartum period - offering a highly individualized approach during every stage.

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.

Together, we will work to explore your concerns and harness your strengths to identify solutions to your stressors. My goal is that you will leave therapy with a range of skills to use in the future. I believe that you are the expert of your own experience, and I am passionate about helping you to build upon your already existing strengths.
