Do you feel uncertain or overwhelmed with where you find yourself in life? When navigating through transitions, relationships, intersectionality, and other challenging aspects of life, you may find that you encounter new or unfamiliar emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. These moments in which you are faced with change require intention and care. Long-term psychotherapy allows you to enter a warm and compassionate space to address the experiences that have brought you to where you are today. Over time, we will work together and build upon your strong commitment and dedication to invest in yourself to help you gain insight, develop your identity, and deepen your understanding of what makes you, you.
With my integrative style, I utilize a psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and relational-cultural approach that prioritizes the client-therapist relationship. My belief is that we grow in relationships and thus, my approach also involves authenticity and playfulness to facilitate discovery through awareness, acceptance, and empowerment. I enjoy the blend of Western evidence-based treatments with Eastern mindfulness-based practices to result in a holistic mind-body approach to mental health and well-being. I specialize in working with high-functioning adults, working professionals, and couples from diverse backgrounds facing mood disorders, trauma, attachment issues, and multicultural concerns. I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist and EMDR trained therapist holding a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional credential and providing trauma-focused interventions along with couples therapy. In addition, I offer cognitive-behavioral interventions including CBT, DBT, and MB-CBT.
I’m very excited to launch – BIPOC Children of Immigrants –
This is an 8-week process-oriented support group. BIPOC individuals 18 or older are welcome to join. Can’t wait to see you there! Please see the attached flyer here for more information.
Forming a connection with a new therapist is a process. My aim is to listen closely and gently challenge, guide, and support you as we build and expand our long-term therapeutic relationship. Your desire to feel seen, heard, and understood comes first. We will begin with a free phone consultation to determine when to meet for our initial sessions. Next, we’ll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy, along with identifying a consistent, weekly time to meet. From there, our work begins. I look forward to hearing from you. I serve Washington, DC and Maryland and practice under the supervision of a licensed psychologist.
