As a board certified psychotherapist, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for 10 years, I work with a plethora of inter-generational clients aged 21-90 who are struggling with anxiety and depression and trauma.

As a chaplain, I take a psycho-spiritual approach and work with clients assisting with intercultural issues, blended family dynamics, religiosity challenges and grief & loss.

Sometimes life can look fine from the outside while you are carrying much more than people realize. You may be managing work, family, relationships, or responsibilities for everyone else while quietly dealing with anxiety, stress, past experiences, relationship concerns, anger, or simply feeling stuck. Therapy can be a place where you no longer have to carry all of that by yourself.

I am a Licensed Therapist in Washington, DC and a Licensed Therapist in Virginia. I earned my Master of Social Work from Washington University and my Bachelor of Social Work from Howard University. I bring more than 25 years of experience in human services and have worked with adolescents, adults, and families across behavioral health and community-based settings.

My clinical work is grounded in trauma-informed, person-centered, and strengths-based practice. I am especially interested in supporting people navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, emotional regulation, self-esteem, boundaries, and the pressure that can come from taking care of everyone while trying to take care of yourself.

You do not have to come to therapy with everything figured out. We can start with where you are.

I believe therapy and growth starts with the relationship client and therapist. I'm here for clients when life is going to life. Many of the tools and strategies I use with clients are ones I've successful used and practice in my own journey in therapy. I practice a lot of grace, patience and empathy and respect where clients want to go and the pace they want to grow. I use a combination of a lot of fancy therapy acronyms with clients from DBT, IFS and CBT. I specialize in substance abuse disorder, anxiety, depression and working with teens and young adults.

Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, uncertain, down, and even overwhelmed in their lives. Trying to manage relationships, family, careers, and life responsibilities can lead to pushing away your own needs or putting them at the bottom of the to-do list. Maybe you feel stuck at work, are grieving past losses, or struggle within relationships. Each person ‘s suffering is unique, and therapy should be guided by their individual needs. Whether you are hoping to solve a specific problem by meeting a few times or seeking to address long-standing injuries or vulnerabilities, I will work compassionately and practically to find ways to create paths to relief and develop a deeper understanding of what is troubling you or getting in the way of your endeavors and desires. I am a clinical psychologist with extensive training and experience in working with adults, adolescents, couples, and parents, for therapy, consultation, and life coaching. My primary interests include couples therapy, anxiety, ADHD, cognitive and memory difficulties, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, women’s/men’s issues, and culturally sensitive counseling.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, daily stressors, parenting demands, or relationship concerns begin to take up more space than you want them to. You may find yourself feeling stretched thin, overthinking, or struggling to show up as the person you want to be for yourself and others. Therapy can be a supportive place to slow down, gain clarity, and feel more grounded. I work with adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, parenting challenges, and interpersonal relationship concerns. I offer a compassionate, collaborative approach that helps clients achieve meaningful change.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Washington

Searching for therapists in Washington, DC starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist is trained for it. DC has a wide range of therapists across neighborhoods like Georgetown, Dupont Circle, Adams Morgan, and Capitol Hill, with specialties that may include anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, grief, trauma, and work stress. As you compare Washington, DC therapists, look for profiles that name the concerns you want to address and explain the therapist’s approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or other forms of talk therapy.

In a major metro area like Washington, the number of options can make it harder to narrow your search. Practical fit matters, too. Consider whether you prefer an office near work, home, transit, or a virtual appointment that fits your schedule. You can also compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist structures sessions, communicates, and works with people who have similar needs.

Therapy in Washington, DC can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, accept your insurance, and offer clear next steps. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, review therapist profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
