Feel like you're on the edge of burnout? Those same skills that once propelled you forward at work now seem insufficient against life's onslaught. Your inner fixer, relied upon by everyone, including yourself, is depleting you. It's time for a change. You can't continue shouldering it all alone, secretly craving recognition for your efforts. Resentment brews as you start to realize the futility of expecting others to change, casting shadows of doubt about the future. Despite previous rounds of CBT therapy, self-help books, and podcasts, you remain trapped in anguish. Let's break this cycle together!

It may be that life deals us the unexpected, or perhaps things just slowly begin to feel “off”—whatever the case may be, we can find growth and healing by exploring the ways our past affects our present. Scary? Definitely! But accessing these versions of ourselves that have been dormant is what helps us shift from surviving to thriving. Whether you’ve been experiencing anxiety, depression, life transition, trauma, or feeling burned out, I can help become a truer version of yourself. For your convenience, I offer online appointments for clients located in DC and MD, or in person appointments at my office in Farragut Square, DC.
