Therapy for Women in Virginia & DC
Treatment that is holistic, relatable, & accessible
Life doesn’t look or feel the way you wish it did.
Meeting with a therapist who understands can help. I provide therapy using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization reprocessing), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy). My clients walk away from therapy feeling more optimistic about the future and less distressed about life circumstances. Learn the tools you need to experience peace, healing, and connection with yourself and others in a new way.

Through therapy, you can gain clarity about your values, priorities, and goals, allowing you to make informed decisions and adapt to new circumstances with greater resilience and confidence. Therapy can help with building stronger relationships, establishing healthy boundaries, and cultivating self-care practices that promote well-being during times of transition.

Childhood sexual, physical assault, neglect, and intergenerational trauma issues can leave emotional wounds and impact various aspects of life. Therapy can help process the pain and trauma associated with the past, offer validation, support, and guidance every step of the way. Through evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-focused therapy, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), you can begin to heal from past traumas, develop healthier coping strategies, and build resilience.

Are you finding yourself feeling more stressed, having trouble concentrating, struggling with sleep, and relationships? You may have some days where you feel physically unwell, experiencing fatigue, headaches, and other health issues. Therapy is like a helping hand during difficult times. In therapy you can discover ways to handle tough situations, build strength, develop coping strategies, and reduce symptoms.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, and unable to meet constant demands personally and professionally? People experiencing burnout may notice a lack of energy, decreased motivation, feelings of detachment or cynicism, and reduced performance. I assist with a wide range of burnout related issues. I work with mothers who are burnt out from parenting. I also work with professional women who are burnt out from their jobs due to high demands, micromanagement, or discrimination in the workplace.

Settling in after a move, welcoming a new child, starting a new relationship, or facing difficulties in the workplace? During times of change and adjustment, therapy provides a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore their thoughts, emotions, and concerns. Therapy can help to process the challenges and uncertainties associated with life transitions, offering practical coping strategies, problem-solving techniques, and emotional support to navigate these changes effectively.

Trauma can leave deep emotional scars that impact various aspects of your life, including relationships, self-esteem, and overall well-being. In therapy, you are provided with a compassionate and non-judgmental space to explore and process the past. Together we can address these underlying issues, so that healing is attainable. Through skills training in areas such as emotion regulation, stress management, and boundary-setting, therapy provides a space to learn practical tools to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and self-assurance.

Therapy can provide practical skills and coping strategies to manage depressive symptoms, such as relaxation techniques, problem-solving skills, and self-care wellness recommendations. With the right support, you can develop the resilience and self-awareness necessary to navigate the challenges of depression and strive towards a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Anxiety can lead to emotional and physical symptoms, including persistent worry, fear, restlessness, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. Therapy provides opportunities for you to practice relaxation techniques, mindfulness exercises, and stress management strategies, empowering you to cope more effectively with anxiety triggers.

As a helping professional, you give so much of yourself to others. Whether you’re a healthcare provider, social worker, educator, or first responder, your work is profoundly meaningful—but it also comes with unique challenges. Constant exposure to the pain and trauma of others can take a toll on your emotional well-being, leaving you feeling drained, disconnected, or even questioning your ability to stay in your field. Therapy provides a safe and supportive space where you can process these experiences, replenish your energy, make a shift, and rediscover the balance you need to thrive both professionally and personally.
