My approach to therapy is that “no one size fits all,” and to meet you where you are at in a non-judgmental space. I work with adults in individual, group, and couples therapy, with people struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, and other mental health issues detrimental to a fulfilling life. All of my client relationships begin with an opportunity for you to talk and to have someone listen. Whether you are a young professional or recent graduate, or undergoing a transition that finds you stuck at a crossroad, I have the experience to support you as you take the next step. In our sessions, we will explore different chapters in your life, considering how that past has shaped your present, and how to set the stage for a fulfilling future. I take a solutions-oriented approach, incorporating talk therapy with mindfulness, and and as a classically-trained pianist I also employ therapeutic interventions using music. Coming to therapy for the first time may feel intimidating, which is why I strive to create a safe, accepting space where we can work together. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming, and welcomes all gender identities, sexual orientations, and cultures. Feel free to reach out for a free consultation or for more information.

Is your past preventing you from experiencing a joyful and fulfilling life? I am a holistic therapist who provides support, tools, and knowledge for the healing and reclamation of your whole self- mind, body, and spirit- to free you from the burdens of your past so that you can thrive in your present and future. While I serve many communities as a mental health care provider, my work centers the unique mental health experiences of Black women. I specialize in working with individuals who feel held back and weighed down by trauma, anxiety, stress, depression, and low self-esteem. Traditional therapy takes a mind-first approach, but the path to healing isn't always so straightforward. You are more than your mind, and adverse life experiences can impact all parts of you. I utilize mindfulness AND embodiment-based modalities, such as EMDR and somatic therapy, to bridge mind and body and invite your whole self into the healing process. As your therapist, I will provide a safe space for you to undertake the challenging yet deeply rewarding work of healing and transformation. It would be an honor and privilege to support you on your journey towards wholeness, fulfilment, and self-actualization.

No matter your past or present, your haves or have nots, life can be difficult. I believe that people want and need to be understood – to feel validated and acknowledged in the midst of their troubles. Without these moments of understanding, life can feel mundane, lonely, or deeply confusing. At the most troubling times when stress, depression, or relationships overwhelm, change can seem impossible. Yet change is made possible through a trusting therapeutic relationship and a careful understanding of oneself and others. As we journey through life, our past is present with us always. Yet, there are large parts of our experience that operate in the background, beyond our awareness, impacting our thoughts, behaviors, and everyday life. Therapy offers the opportunity to learn about yourself, unpack your life's story, and uncover a deeper, more complete truth about your life. Self-understanding grants the freedom needed to change. Through careful listening, cultural sensitivity, honesty and effort, I offer an affirming space where you can learn and heal. Areas of focus in my practice include anxiety, depression, trauma, and relational distress. I also have advanced training in issues pertaining to race, gender, & sexuality.

As a psychologist, my goal is for my clients to live the lives they want to live. I work collaboratively with clients to build the tools and insight they need to make positive changes. My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and related evidence-based practices like Exposure and Response Prevention (E/RP). My goal for all of my clients is that they feel comfortable and confident living life on their own terms. To do that, we work together to identify what's keeping them stuck and what they want to change, explore their thoughts and feelings, and find practical solutions that work for them. My teletherapy practice specializes in serving young adults (age 20s-30s) experiencing issues like anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, and life stress in DC, Maryland, and Virginia. I individualize treatment based on each client’s unique needs, background, and goals using evidence-based practices (like CBT) as the core of treatment. I take a warm and empathic but straightforward approach so clients can gain clarity on their experiences and make changes. I love helping people tap into their own strengths to overcome challenges, build confidence, and live authentically. A good fit is important, so contact me to set up a free consultation to learn more. I look forward to hearing from you!

Every one of us, at some point in our lives, encounters difficulty and hardship. At times, the challenges we find ourselves facing seem insurmountable. Perhaps you had a difficult and painful childhood that interferes with your ability to find happiness and comfort. Maybe your current or past relationships have been draining and confusing—full of conflict and hurt. Have you recently experienced something life-altering or traumatic? Or, are you struggling with unwelcome feelings and behaviors that impact your health, relationships, or career? Whatever obstacles you’re facing, therapy can be an invaluable and freeing experience. I believe that therapy works best when clients feel comfortable, understood, safe, and accompanied. My approach is highly focused on the therapeutic relationship and building trust with my clients. From this foundation, I may use a combination of interventions that are best suited for our work together and honor your individual needs, such as CPT and DBT. Whether you’re seeking therapy to heal from painful past experiences, to find solutions to problems which no longer seem manageable alone, or to simply better understand yourself, I would be honored to be a part of your journey.

Life can be challenging at times. Whether it’s from patterns of thinking or behaving we’ve carried with us since childhood, or relationship dynamics we’ve forged, or hurdles we’ve encountered in our day-to-day journey, or lingering trauma, sometimes we can feel stuck. We may even lose a sense of our own identity along the way, and that “lost” feeling brings experiences of anxiety, stress, sadness, fear, physical struggles, or more. It can be helpful to find a safe space to explore our thoughts and feelings, and counseling can offer an objective perspective, thought-provoking questions, and help in discovering the way forward. I see counseling as a collaborative process in which I support and empower you to explore perspectives, beliefs, and behaviors in a safe, non-judgmental context. I'll also challenge unhealthy patterns that arise and help you grow in self-awareness to embrace new possibilities. I’ll also integrate mindfulness, contemplation, communication skills, & self-care. I have counseled individuals and couples for over 30 years in a professional pastoral role. In recent years, I've expanded my clinical therapeutic development so that I might offer more specialized assistance with various issues. I have also served as Adjunct Faculty in a university Clinical Mental Health Counseling department.

If you are feeling stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed, therapy can be a safe, non-judgmental, space to process your emotions and gain clarity on what might be contributing to your distress. I would seek to understand your unique situation and perspective, and we would uncover thinking and behavior patterns getting in your way. Whether it's having the tools and skills to cope with daily stressors, managing anxiety, improving relationships, increasing your self-confidence, to living a more purpose-driven life, together, we would develop customized strategies to help meet your desired outcome. My practice is informed by my diverse experiences from working with children and families in crisis to leading and managing others in organizational and community-based settings. I am uniquely positioned to understand that we don't operate in a vacuum. I am dedicated to ensuring the skills gained in therapy are transferable to your everyday life. As a South Asian American growing up with immigrant parents, I understand the nuances of belonging, identity, overcoming stigma, and negotiating family and cultural expectations. I seek to help clients to find a balance between their vision of themselves and outside pressures, carving out boundaries and finding their true voice.

Our experiences impact the way we see the world. Symptoms often emerge as attempts to adapt. In the context of a supportive therapeutic relationship, we can look at the parts of your life that are no longer serving you. In therapy, I will help you express your thoughts and feelings and listen to you on multiple levels. At times, I may call attention to your here-and-now experience. I have particular experience working with internalizing issues such as depression, anxiety, anger, self-esteem issues, and perfectionism. I also welcome couples in my practice and have completed a post-graduate training program in couples therapy through the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis. By gaining insight into not only the concerns that brought you to therapy but also yourself, you will be freer to make choices that align with your goals. My aim is to help you feel better at work, love, and play, and to face life's ups and downs with resilience and freedom.
