Life can and often does present us with challenges which create distress and make it difficult for us to feel satisfied. It can be very helpful to speak with a well-trained, experienced, and supportive person when facing such challenges. Whether you are looking for extra support during a stressful period of time or you are interested in focusing on longstanding difficulties, I offer to create a space that promotes symptom relief and results in greater awareness, satisfaction, confidence, and fulfillment.

I believe that each individual that seeks therapy makes an important decision to create a change. I understand that asking for help and taking the first step feels difficult. I am qualified with professional and life experience for 30 years to assist you in making the desired change. I am sincerely committed, enthusiastic, dedicated, and available to assist you to take charge and create that positive desired outcome to discover the road to recovery. My mission is to provide quality psychotherapy and recovery services for late teens, adults, couples, and families for them to reach their fullest potential and personal growth.

My clinical focus includes helping teenage and adult clients explore, understand, identify and apply mental strategies to help manage immigrant and/or identity stress, transitions, overwhelm, pressure etc. My expertise also includes grief, depression, anxiety, trauma mood disorders, ADHD and more. I have developed exceptional skills for working with trauma, identity, school and career issues, grief and loss, as well as emotional and behavioral issues. I use CBT, person-centered, strength-based, culturally sensitive and solution-focused therapeutic frameworks.

We see individuals, families and couples in DC, MD, VA, PA, and FL. We provide an encouraging, warm and open environment to help learn more about yourself and heal from the root up. We identify when negative patterns began and guide you to lead a happier and more peaceful life.

Are you ready to heal, overcome mental health barriers, and make meaningful changes in your life? If you are feeling lost in life, unsatisfied, stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, low motivation, burnout, or unhappy and want to find a safe, inviting, and welcoming space for you to start dedicating time to your own healing, and personal growth, then stop waiting and say hello!

Unexpected challenges, loss, or the simple momentum of life can sometimes make it hard to feel solid or know how to respond. Inner distress or outward behaviors can make it difficult to feel good about oneself or get along with others. At these times, one can benefit greatly from the support of a trained therapist to explore experiences, feelings, and concerns. I create a confidential supportive space where clients have the opportunity to draw upon their inner strengths and capacity to grow, discover new perspectives, tools, and options for behavior, and develop as individuals to improve their quality of life.

Welcome to my site. Finding the right therapist can be daunting, so let me give you a sense of how I work. Most appreciate how engaged & active I am, We will explore not only the reasons for your difficulties, BUT more importantly, how stress affects your body; how you internalize thoughts of self & others. Thoughts lead to-> Beliefs -> Habits; automatic responses. I will give you tools to help with difficult emotions. I specialize in: 1) postpartum, 2) trauma/grief, 3) non-traditional family formation, 4) adoption, 5) ThirdCultureKid, 6) LGBTQ. I am open to explore non-traditional methods to assist you in the healing process.

I currently work with adolescents and adults of all ages in individual therapy and specialize in working with clients with marginalized identities (e.g., racial/ethnic, sexual, and gender minorities). My ideal client is willing to bring as much of themselves into the room (e.g., social/cultural identities, personal experiences, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors) to foster more self-awareness and growth and make meaningful life changes.

My passion is teaching people how to realize their potential. I can help you let go of old patterns and fears and develop more of your SELF. I bring 30 years of experience helping people face their challenges in more constructive ways. Adversity can unleash creativity and new parts of your SELF rather than leave you cynical, isolated and exhausted. I have significant expertise in treating trauma and other mental health issues that perpetuate unhealthy patterns. With an integrative, gentle approach, I will support you in building your own internal and external resources to make vital changes in your life.

As children, we are learning from interactions with our parents who we are and how to fit into the world around us. After we leave home, we become our own parents as we continue to learn about ourselves and how to find our own place in life. And when we have families of our own, we are now parents both for our children and for ourselves, as we continue to understand more about who we are. I provide a warm, empathic and accepting environment where you can explore your current life challenges, as well as address past issues that impact your everyday life.

Life can sometimes turn difficult and painful, and at these times, reaching out for help can be reassuring and powerful. If you are feeling depressed, distressed, or anxious I can help. Together you and I will sift through the layers, untangle the thicket, and emerge more certain and clear. As we understand you better, we can use that knowledge to carve out a new path for you, one that offers greater ease and contentment.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and certified group psychotherapist (CGP) with expertise in group dynamics and trauma. My organization, Therapist Beyond Borders, is a social justice consultancy that examines how to help organizations thrive. Starting with an evidence-based assessment, our work always begins with top level leaders. Systems change begins at the top. Staff can only do work that their leaders are willing to do. Our interdisciplinary team consists of practitioners who have one or more historically marginalized identities. The lived experience of marginalization gives each of us a personal lens into the work.

I work with a wide range of clients from a variety of cultural backgrounds in person and remotely. Clients learn to reduce stress and work with their feelings in ways that lead to personal growth and development. Mindfulness, deep breathing and body awareness are used to reduce anxiety, depression, excessive self-criticism, perfectionism, detachment and emotional flooding. These problematic feelings can lead to growth, greater empathy for self and others as well as greater kindness towards others in their life when worked with creatively in psychotherapy.

My main goal as a counselor is to provide you with the emotional support you need while helping you regain full self-reliance. I will devote time and energy in understanding you in the context of your relationships, your character and the psychological distress you are experiencing. Through a transparent and collaborative approach I will help you set treatment goals, take the first steps toward change and work towards establishing a long-term improvement of your quality of life. By focusing on psychoeducation and relapse prevention I will help you acquire new skills and knowledge that will make you more resilient in the future.

I believe that psychotherapy provides the opportunity to develop self-awareness, improve our relationships with others, and alleviate distress and suffering. Whether you are struggling with anxiety or depression, dealing with life’s transitions and challenges, or seeking to improve your overall well-being, I can help you develop the strategies and insight to do so. Together we will identify patterns of relating to yourself and others that are no longer working for you and figure out how to replace them with more fulfilling and satisfying ones.
