I believe that freedom from emotional hijack is found in noticing, naming, & knowing. I am a licensed clinical therapist (VA, DC, NC, VT, & WV) specializing in counseling adults, teens, and relationships, of all identities, orientations, and lifestyles. My areas of focus include trauma, abuse, anxiety, depression, adjustment challenges, grief/loss, stress reduction, LGBTQIA+ concerns & identity issues, family disruptions, polyamory/ENM/CNM, & relationships challenges. Those preyed on online, catfished, or who have experienced DNA test revelations will also find a welcome home here. Reach out to see if we are a good fit!
I help people who worry that they are broken feel capable of handling distress by addressing trauma and other challenges in a judgement-free environment. I employ an eclectic mix of methods grounded in psychodynamic psychotherapy. You don't have to know what that means! You'll find the best fit when you meet potential therapists, not read about them.
I believe our emotions tell us a great deal about how we experience our lives, and that by knowing ourselves and our emotions better, we can have freedom. I believe the healthiest people have been to therapy. It is a sign of strength, not weakness. I am active in fights for social justice and believe therapy can help with systemic abuses clients experience.
