ART Therapists in DC - TherapyTribe

I’ve spent a lot of time developing expertise in the issues I work with; however, I rely equally on my heart and gut sense in working with each client uniquely. I have a straightforward, common-sense style and know the value of elbow grease in making life changes. Trauma in all its forms is the thread that connects the different life problems I specialize in working with. I don’t believe in having only one tool in my toolbox, any more than I believe in having only one trauma treatment available to help you. Let’s figure out what tools work best for you, whether that be EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Brain Spotting, Deep Brain Reorienting, or the Safe and Sound Protocol. We currently have openings for intensives, men's and women's groups, and online workshops.

Feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or stuck can make it hard to move forward—but meaningful change is possible. My goal is to help you gain clarity, reconnect with your strengths, and develop practical tools so you can approach life’s challenges with greater confidence and direction. Therapy is a collaborative process, and together we focus on what’s getting in your way while building skills that support lasting growth and a more satisfying present. My work is grounded in a strengths-based, evidence-informed approach that emphasizes insight, action, and measurable progress. I help clients identify patterns that no longer serve them and replace them with healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and responding. Clients often appreciate that treatment is focused, intentional, and designed to create real-world change rather than remaining abstract or open-ended. Cultural awareness and inclusivity are core values of my practice. I have experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and am committed to providing care that is respectful, affirming, and responsive to each client’s unique context. Above all, I prioritize creating a safe, supportive environment where you feel understood and empowered—because a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation for meaningful and effective change.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in genuine connection—with a touch of humor along the way. I support clients through life’s challenges, including anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, relational struggles, and major transitions. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that support your well-being and those that may be holding you back, always with a focus on your unique values, needs, and goals. Drawing from evidence-based therapies, I tailor our work to help you feel empowered, deepen self-understanding, and move toward meaningful change. Taking this step toward healing is courageous, and I’m here to walk alongside you as you create the life you want.

Choosing to begin therapy is a deeply personal and meaningful decision, and we are dedicated to making your experience warm, supportive, and effective. Our focus is creating a safe, welcoming space where healing can take root. We offer a variety of therapeutic approaches—including EMDR, IFS, and somatic therapies—carefully tailored to each client’s individual needs and goals. For those who benefit from animal-assisted therapy, our therapy animals are available to offer added comfort and support. Every person who comes to our practice is seen, heard, and valued, and we collaborate closely to identify the path that feels most aligned.

I am a great fit for people who: a) need to be functional for work; b) feel more comfortable with an informal professional style; c) know they need to do "the work" but aren't sure where to start.

Washington's identity as the center of American political life creates a distinct mental health environment where therapists frequently address political burnout, moral injury, and the psychological toll of careers in government, advocacy, nonprofit work, and public policy. The city has a highly educated and driven professional demographic, and therapists specializing in perfectionism, ambition-related anxiety, and navigating high-stakes careers are consistently in demand. DC's large Black professional community and its diverse immigrant population from Africa, Central America, South Asia, and East Asia make culturally affirming and multilingual care especially important. MedStar Georgetown University Hospital and GW Hospital provide institutional mental health anchors alongside the city's dense and sophisticated independent therapy community.
