Waitlist for new clients
I am passionate about helping people facing relationship struggles that manifest as anxiety, depression, and difficulty with intimacy. My experience and training (EFT: Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy, Imago, PACT) taught me that most emotional challenges are tied to how we function in our personal relationships. I've been told that my real strength is helping people feel safe and reflective enough to recognize, think through, and either accept or change the way they approach the relationships that matter most.
I am a Certified Emotionally-Focused (EFT) therapist, a credential requiring several years of training and supervision to integrate attachment-focused repair tools into my relationship work. The Washington Post has quoted me as a "relationship expert" because I make conversation about couplehood feel connected and productive.
I use the Enneagram personality assessment with most clients and offer EMDR, a short-term modality that helps process traumatic experiences, often with immediate, lasting results. I wrote for Counseling Today on subjects like facing infertility, LGBT issues, and college life adjustment. I served as The Georgetowner newspaper's advice columnist for 7 years.
