Change
Starts With You
Welcome
I am a clinical social worker (LICSW) in private practice currently working in the Washington D.C. area. My goal in creating this site is to introduce you to my practice, and to my vision for the therapeutic process, in the hopes of making your journey into therapy just that little bit easier.
My Approach
I provide trauma-informed psychotherapy, specializing in adults experiencing or having experienced trauma, PTSD, grief, complicated grief, loss/bereavement as well as anxiety, depression, acute and chronic illness, medical trauma, and existential challenges.
With a sense of humor and collaboration, I aim to create a safe, down-to-earth, and relaxed environment for you to harness your own capacities for healing. Through the use of evidence-based techniques, genuine connection, and mutual respect we will draw on your own innate resilience and capacity for change, and give confidence to the belief that change is possible and that you can feel better.
Evidence Based Methods
Integrating evidence-based cognitive and behavioral strategies (CBT), brain-based modalities including Eye Motor Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Brainspotting, and mind-body approaches including mindfulness (MBSR), I aim to assist you in identifying and reframing unhelpful thought patterns, addressing signs and symptoms that may be troubling, strengthening existing coping strategies, and building new tools to address the issues you face everyday.
Services
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy offers an opportunity to work one-on-one to develop a tailored approach that addresses your needs. By providing education and understanding around current challenges, it aims to alleviate symptoms, and help create a clearer path towards your goals.
Clinical Supervision
Supervision offers an opportunity to work collaboratively to improve your therapeutic techniques and skills, case conceptualization, address transference and the use of self, and ethical and professional practice while developing your own clinical style.
