A brief, no-pressure conversation to see whether we’re a good fit.

Does any of this sound familiar?

You may be carrying more than the surface lets on.

  • A persistent sense of inadequacy or shame, a feeling that you’re somehow not enough

  • A low, flat mood, as if life has lost its color

  • Anxiety and tension that won’t switch off, even at rest

  • Working constantly, when part of you longs to feel lighter and more playful

  • Anger or irritation that seem to arrive from nowhere

  • The same difficulties surfacing in relationship after relationship

It’s possible not only to feel better, but to thrive.

With over a decade of practice in Washington, DC, I’ve found that lasting change rarely comes from managing symptoms alone. When we make room to understand where these patterns come from — slowly, honestly, and without judgment — they begin to loosen their hold.

With over a decade of experience working as a psychotherapist in Washington, DC, I can foster a space of careful listening, emotional honesty, and genuine reflection.

I provide psychodynamic and psychoanalytic psychotherapy in downtown Washington, DC, and am licensed in the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Virginia.

My work is grounded in contemporary psychoanalytic thought and shaped by ongoing advanced clinical training. I offer a setting that is both thoughtful and reliable, where complex or difficult experiences can be explored in depth.

I offer psychoanalytic and psychodynamic psychotherapy for adults in Washington, DC, including downtown DC, Dupont Circle, Logan Circle, Georgetown, Capitol Hill, Arlington, Alexandria, McLean, and Northern Virginia.
