Magellan Therapists in Washington, DC

If you are looking for a supportive and approachable therapist to help you, your child, or your adolescent build effective coping strategies and create goal oriented solutions to help you improve your quality of life, I can help. My passion is adolescents and children. Some of the issues I focus on include anxiety, depression, adjustment problems, and social skills enhancement in young people. I have extensive experience in helping children, adolescents, adults, and families with complex underlying medical and/or developmental diagnoses deal with the impact these conditions have on their behavior, emotional happiness, and interactions with others.

As a humanistic psychotherapist, I am person-centered and focus on the uniqueness of each individual. I believe that a positive, empathetic relationship between therapist and client is essential to effective therapeutic change. I respect my clients as equals who are ultimately responsible for their own growth and direction. People find me interactive, easy to relate to, and sensitive to their needs. Along with talk and insight work, I incorporate a wide variety of techniques into the therapeutic process, including cognitive-behavioral techniques, guided imagery, mindfullness practices, communication exercises, relaxation exercises and other awareness techniques.

I am invested in the empowerment of individuals, families and organizations. I believe that within each system, there are natural leaders. The individual has the capacity to maximize their own outcomes. I will focus with each individual to explore that potential. The team also has experience in government, non-profit, and community based settings. I will utilize these experiences to support client success. An ideal client has a desire to believe!!

In a non-judgemental, respectful atmosphere I accompany people along their journey to living richer, more meaningful life. I encourage people to broaden their awareness into their thoughts, feelings, reactions and behaviors to identify strengths and whats working and challenges and how they are getting in the way. Recognizing the the mind-body-spirit connection, understanding healthy and antiquated defenses and increasing capacity for feeling a greater range of emotions at a deeper level is an important focus of the psychotherapy process. Identifying feelings, understanding reactions and learning better, more effective means of communicating with others is integral as well.

I love working with individuals, couples and families who are ready to move forward in life with hope. Progress is enhanced when there is commitment and accountable.

Pain is an unavoidable and a necessary part of life. But suffering -- especially prolonged, "punishing" suffering -- is not. So many people seeking therapy suffer from anxiety, depression, difficulties in relationships, and self-sabotaging behaviors. We use defenses to avoid our emotions. Ironically emotions aren't the SOURCE of pain but in fact are there to HELP us HEAL from the painful losses, hurts and challenges of life. You don't come to therapy to talk about your week. You come for relief from your suffering, for a chance to work through and find meaning in your pain and, just as with a broken bone, heal stronger and better!

Accepting New Carefirst BCBS and Anthem patients! Do you ever feel like you’re doing mental math all the time, trying to balance your needs with what others expect of you and all the directions you’re being pulled? Between work, family, friends, and the pressures of society, it can be difficult to prioritize the care that we all need. Even when we know we need to take care of ourselves first, it can be hard to put this into practice after a lifetime of putting others first.
