Therapists Beginning With S in District of Columbia
As you’re looking for a therapist, it’s important to find someone you feel comfortable opening up to, and maybe even sharing aspects of your life that are hard to discuss. My clients often go there with me quickly; they can tell that I will be warm, supportive, nonjudgmental, and honor their trust. My approach to therapy is multicultural, LGBTQ+ affirming, sex positive, and I have a background working with first generation people. Clients who want to better understand and express their emotions have found therapy with me helpful for learning communication and skills they weren’t taught growing up.

If you’re looking for a safe space where you can be heard by an empathetic therapist who's experienced, look no further—that’s me. I provide virtual adult therapy for depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, work stress, and health issues: Chronic Pain, Sleep Difficulties, Coping with diagnoses/conditions, Health Anxiety, Stress, or Burnout. We'd be a good fit for therapy if you're ready to commit to meeting regularly and open to examining your concerns in new ways. I believe most people have what they need to overcome their issues, but they may need a shift in perspective or support through change.
