Preteen Therapists in Washington, DC

Welcome and thank you for taking the time to visit my page! Whether you are just beginning your therapy journey, find yourself searching for help with continued healing or are you getting back in touch with yourself after time away from therapy, I would like to be there for you to help! I work with clients aged preteen-adulthood who have experienced trauma, mood disorders, ADHD, and learning disabilities. Additionally, I work with individuals in transitional life stages and caregivers who want to work through challenges in parenting/caretaking and also hope to prioritize their own mental health or life challenges.

I believe that most people struggle at some points in their life. Many people find a way through that struggle, but it can take a while, and some people get stuck in the struggle. I can help you get to the root of what’s holding you back. One of my strengths is helping people dig through the clutter to find the real reasons they are stuck. Therapy is a place to process emotions and examine ways of thinking that hold us back from living a fuller and more fulfilling life. My priorities are to meet you where you are, figure out what’s going on together, and develop effective plans for change, to conquer challenges and nurture growth.

Working with families and couples to connect with each other, while helping individuals learn about themselves and helping them feel grounded in their identity is my passion. I work with single parents, teenagers, and children as young as 4 years old. In my work with my clients, I offer positive parenting skill-building to help parents connect more with their children and build greater empathy, trust, and respect. It is really important to me to offer you and your family a safe space to heal and reconnect.

Overcoming mental and emotional challenges can be difficult, but even more when you feel like you are dealing with them alone. It's not always easy finding someone who's willing to listen and understands from a culturally responsive lens, especially when discussing personal challenges that have been discouraged outside of the home. Stress can come from many different avenues of life (career, family, relationships, society, and culture, etc) and can bring about depressions, anxiety, anger, isolation, and low-self esteem. It's not easy learning healthy ways to cope, managing your symptoms, and even recognizing that there's a problem.

No matter how much you do, that inner-voice insists, “you could be doing more.” You convince yourself you just need to work harder, sleep a little less, spread yourself more thin. Then you’ll finally feel that sense of accomplishment. But the more you do, the louder the voice gets. The weight of the constant stress is exhausting. The tension headache at the base of your skull won’t go away. You can’t control your emotions– the other day you blew up at your best friend. Your mother keeps calling; she’s worried about you. You’ve sacrificed so much, but don’t know what it’s all for. This can’t go on.

Are you new to the Washington, DC area? Are you starting a new degree program or a new job? Have these changes and transitions caused change to your relationships, or caused you to feel more isolated? Whether you’re feeling down, overwhelmed, or stuck, my goal is to help you navigate these feelings and discover a renewed sense of self. Life presents many challenges, but understanding the connection between our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, can significantly impact our well-being. I strive to provide an authentic and positive environment where you feel safe and empowered to create meaningful change.
