Hello! My area of focus is providing culturally competent counseling to individuals of varying mental health difficulties. I work with clients with various presenting issues, including anxiety and depression, OCD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, and addictions. In addition to being a therapist, I am completing my PhD in counseling. My intersectionality as an Arab-Asian woman from a Muslim background allows me to experience understanding and empathy for those from varying identities.
Hi there! I have been a therapist for about 25 years (MSW- Western Michigan University). I feel grateful to have such meaningful work and honored to walk alongside such a variety of people on their journeys. My clients have described me as irreverent, honest, and caring.
Many folks come to therapy in times of crisis and others come because they are looking for a neutral place to talk and process a wide range of life experiences including trauma, anxiety/depression, substance concerns, and relationship issues.
In my non-work hours you'd find me spending time with my elementary age kiddo and our dog, listening to live music, swimming in Lake Michigan, or finishing up a good jigsaw puzzle!

My goal is to empower, affirm, and build individuals to reach their maximum potential. I will never impose religious beliefs on my clients and will always value and support their individual perspectives.

Hi, I'm Robin a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Central Florida. I work with teens, young adults, and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life's bigger transitions. My style is warm and collaborative, I pull from a mix of approaches including IFS, attachment, and CBT, but at the heart of it all, I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my job is to help you reconnect with that. If you're ready to do some real, meaningful work in a space that feels safe and judgment-free, I'd love to connect.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Washington, DC
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.
