Online therapy for people in Washington DC

I offer online individual therapy through a secure, confidential platform for people living in Washington, DC. 

If you have made your way to this page, it’s likely that you’re going through something and looking for some support. Therapy isn’t just for people with mental illness. Life is hard for all of us. Unexpected changes happen. We lose people. We get disconnected from who we truly are and what we believe in. Daily tasks become overwhelming. We stop taking care of ourselves. Soon enough, we’re just surviving life, instead of thriving in and savoring it.

Working with a therapist can help you attain true wellness: in your mind, body, and spirit. The benefits of therapy are research-backed, and often profound when you personally experience them.

What’s important when looking for a therapist?

I often tell people that the magic of therapy is in the relationship. At points, therapy should be uncomfortable. It’s important to have a relationship with your therapist that feels safe and supportive.

Here are some questions to ask me (or another therapist) as you’re working to determine if we would be a good fit: 

  • What’s your training (what certifications or degrees do you hold)?
  • How long have you worked in this field?
  • What are the advantages and disadvantages of the different approaches, including medication?
  • How does the treatment work?
  • How will we assess my progress?
  • What should I do if I don’t feel better?
  • Do you take insurance? How much should I anticipate treatment cost?

What treatment modalities do I use?

Internal Family Systems Therapy
Internal Family Systems Therapy, or IFS, helps individuals understand and integrate the different “parts” of themselves that may be in conflict. It views the mind as made up of various subpersonalities or “parts,” each with its own perspectives and roles. IFS aims to create harmony within by fostering a compassionate relationship with these parts, helping people access their core Self, and guiding them towards healing and self-acceptance.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on accepting difficult emotions and thoughts rather than trying to change them. It emphasizes being present in the moment and aligning actions with personal values. By developing psychological flexibility, individuals learn to handle their inner experiences more effectively and commit to actions that enrich their lives, even in the face of discomfort.

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy explores how unconscious processes and past experiences influence current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It emphasizes understanding the influence of early relationships and unresolved conflicts on present-day issues. By bringing these unconscious elements into awareness, individuals can gain insight into their internal conflicts, develop healthier patterns of behavior, and achieve emotional growth.
