Are you feeling emotionally or physically disconnected from your partner? Is communication not clear? Passion & intimacy gone within your relationship? Are you having some difficulty with your sexual behaviors, urges or desires? Unsure of your sexuality? Are you a therapist or professional helper? Feeling disconnected in a relationship can leave you feeling unloved, undesirable and alone. Having sexual issues can be embarrassing and alienating. Not being accepted due to your sexuality can be hurtful. My affirming and empathetic approach can help you gain a sense of normalcy, dig deeper and begin to make the changes you desire.

Are you in an unhealthy relationship? Is it hard for you to set boundaries with significant others? Do you have difficulty making decisions? Doubting yourself or feeling like an imposter can make tough times (and difficult decisions) even tougher. I can help you explore and develop a greater understanding and appreciation of your authentic self. Our bodies do keep the score, so it’s vital to connect mind and body. Unprocessed trauma can block that connection. Once our nervous system is regulated, everything seems to fall into place: Anxiety decreases, as does pain perception, while cognitive and creative capabilities increase.

Hi, I’m Juli, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) specializing in Addiction and Substance Use disorders, Trauma and PTSD, Anxiety and Depression. In my 10+ years of practice I have developed a passion for helping patients identify, explore, and heal underlying issues and trauma that may be at the root of current life challenges. I work with individuals and families to provide psychotherapy, coaching and sober support. In my practice my approach is to meet you where you are, help you move toward your goals, overcome obstacles, and continue to grow. I believe that through therapy profound and positive change can happen.

The desire to experience relief in your current situation has led you to this very moment. We are here to help you. We work with clients who are ready to disrupt old patterns that no longer serve them and are experiencing circumstances like trauma (stemming from past/recent events), relationship concerns, stress, grief/loss, anxiety, divorce, parenting, transitions in life/work, seeking intrapersonal growth, money relationship/behavior struggles, self-esteem, family conflict, adoption/attachment, anger management and adjustment difficulties.

Are you someone who feels constantly stressed? Are you noticing your sleep isn't the best? Maybe you've been feeling down or distancing yourself from others? Perhaps you've experienced quite a few life transitions over the past couple of years and need space to sort it out? I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the District of Columbia & Virginia, as well as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland who is dedicated to enhancing lives through the many facets of mental health. I believe that creating a space that's warm, welcoming and non-judgmental will help you embark on a journey of mental wellness.

You're a badass go-getter, motivated by working towards your life's goals, but something feels stuck or slows your progress. Your life is mostly together, but you're dealing with anxiety, low-self esteem, or negative self-talk pretty regularly. Maybe you feel like it's hard to form relationships with others around you. There's a chance social media makes you feel inadequate. Maybe you still feel or notice the effects of a trauma in your past. You've considered talking to someone about these things before, but therapy always seemed drastic or a little too extra. (I promise, it's not!) Email or call if this sounds like you!

Is your relationship on the brink of a break-up? We help couples improve their communication patterns, their sex life, or figuring out how to separate amicably. We are LGBTQ+ affirming, sex positive, and kink-friendly. We also help couples navigating interracial / cross-cultural relationships, open relationships (ENM), polyamory, and various other relationship dynamics. If your partner is not ready for therapy, we provide individual therapy to help navigate relationship situations.

Do you want to stop feeling stuck in patterns that cause negative consequences in your life? As a child, did you experience abuse, or feel unloved or neglected? Maybe you are feeling overwhelmed by your past and it keeps you feeling depressed, anxious, or unhappy in your relationships. Do you feel like you are ready to break the cycles and begin to heal your trauma? Are you looking for someone who can help you rediscover your self-worth and self-love?

My specialties include chronic health conditions, grief, anxiety, and life transitions. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the foundation of any healing journey. I bring empathy, warmth, and insight to my clients experiencing transitions and challenges.

There are many reasons why people make the choice to seek out therapy. Sometimes that reason isn't obvious and you might just feel "off", or maybe you've recognized patterns in your life that you'd like to interrupt but aren't quite sure how. Whatever your reason is, it is valid and important, and I would be honored to work through it with you. My experience thus far has centered around helping adolescents and adults navigate eating disorders, trauma, depression, anxiety, body image distress, relationship issues, healthy masculinity development, and emotion regulation, in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

Have you reached a point where your past experiences and beliefs about yourself are impacting your life now? Are you wanting to live as your most authentic self, but having a hard time doing so? Do you want to improve your relationship with your partner(s), but think a guide would be helpful? Then I'm glad you're here! Through exploration and skills-building, I can help you develop greater resilience, and a deeper connection with yourself and your community. I (they/them) am a trans and queer therapist who enjoys working with LGBTQIA+ individuals, couples, & polyamorous folks.

Life can be challenging. Perhaps you are feeling stuck in your marital or relational issues. Maybe, you are feeling hopeless after the loss of a loved one or job. When you need help and direction most, therapy can guide you through challenges. I believe that anyone can excel with sufficient guidance and support. My areas of concentration are couples’ issues, family conflicts, life transitions, self-esteem, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, emotional healing, spiritual issues, and more. Also, I use EMDR to help you with trauma and childhood experiences.

As humans, we all experience hurt, overwhelm, and uncertainty at times. Many of us have had traumatic upbringings that have altered our perceptions of life. Sometimes, we feel as if our past doesn't affect us but somehow we still feel defeated, hopeless, and controlled by difficult emotions, such as sadness, anger, and anxiety. I believe that unresolved trauma and other issues can hinder our progression and cause us to become trapped in areas of our lives that we are unsatisfied with. Because of this, I work diligently to help connect the dots between past and present experiences to facilitate understanding, acceptance, and growth.

Hi, I'm a clinical social worker licensed in Maryland. For over 20 years, I’ve worked with individuals of various ages, ethnic, and socio-economic backgrounds, who have suffered from mild to severe mental health disorders. I have an eclectic and conversational treatment style. I believe treatment relies on strong therapeutic relationships. The aspect of my treatment that I believe consistently helps my clients to achieve their goals, is my ability to use humor, strength, transparency, and kindness to make it safe for them to be honest and kind with themselves about problematic patterns of behavior and thought.

Whether you're in the midst of a crisis or just need to scratch that itch that you just have not been fully yourself, whether this is your first stab at facing an issue or feel like you have battle fatigue, whether you feel like you have not had a minute to think your own thoughts or feel like you've been stuck in your head for days on end, therapy can help. We are not built to go it alone.
