About My Clients
My clients are high-functioning on the outside and exhausted on the inside. Professionals, executives, creatives — people who are good at managing how they come across and tired of it. They've often tried therapy before. It helped some. It didn't change much. They come to me when they're done with maintenance and ready for something that actually moves. They're self-aware enough to know the pattern. They just haven't been able to stop it yet.
My Background and Approach
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of clinical experience, licensed in Washington DC and North Carolina. I offer telehealth therapy throughout DC, specializing in trauma, EMDR, anxiety, burnout, grief, and therapy for professionals navigating high-pressure careers. I'm trained in EMDR through EMDRIA, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction through UMass Medical School, and draw on IFS, psychodynamic, and attachment-based frameworks. I don't lead with modality. I lead with what's actually in the room. Sessions are direct and precise. I notice what's unspoken — patterns across relationships and time, not just what brought you in this week. If you've been in therapy before and left thinking "that was fine," I want to know what was missing.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe most people don't need more coping strategies. They need someone willing to look directly at what's running underneath — the pattern that keeps the anxiety fed, the relationship dynamic that keeps repeating, the identity that was built for survival and outlived its usefulness. Therapy should change something. Not just make the week more manageable. I'm not interested in being a pressure valve. I'm interested in getting to the thing that keeps requiring one. I also believe the body holds what the mind has learned to skip over. That's why EMDR works when talk therapy stalls — it gets to where the material actually lives, not just the story built around it. Good therapy requires honesty from both people in the room. I'll tell you what I notice. I'll name the thing circling the conversation. I'll track you across sessions, not just respond to whatever you bring in that week. That's what precision looks like. That's what I offer.
