I believe we are all works in progress. Seeking therapy is a brave choice to help better carry your load and further you along your journey. I visualize therapy as a collaborative journey we take together. In our first appointments, I will get to know the roads you have taken and what has guided you along your way. We will identify what is working and what is not, then work together to establish your goals for treatment. Growth can be uncomfortable at times and you may be challenged in the process. You can expect me to be aware of this and to approach it directly and with sensitivity.

In 23 years of clinical experience, I have helped clients learn how to manage anxiety and depression due to work stress, a cancer diagnosis (and other chronic Illnesses), as well as other significant life changes. Medical illnesses are stressful, and we often need support through these difficult times. I also specialize in working with medical professionals as well as other professionals who have found themselves burned out because of their experiences during the pandemic. In the DMV, we tend to define much of inner self by our career. Learning to find balance in this part of our lives helps us to improve our sense of self.

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.

I have a passion for walking people through the therapeutic process, for healing old wounds, solving problems and seeing profound changes in my clients' lives. All of my clients are my ideal clients. I love the psychotherapy process, both personally and professionally. In my opinion psychotherapy is both a necessity and a luxury in staying sane. Taking the time to care about yourself and/or your family, children or loved ones, focusing on what is hurting and not working well and trusting me to offer perspectives, insights, connections, ideas, advice, and understanding can turn most challenging situations around.
