Individual Psychotherapy in Washington, DC
A Personalized Path to Healing and Growth
Life can feel overwhelming at times.
Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, identity exploration, or major life transitions, individual therapy offers a safe, supportive space to pause, reflect, and grow.
Together, we’ll work to uncover the patterns that shape your thoughts, feelings, and relationships — helping you move toward a more intentional, fulfilling, and authentic life.
My Approach
I believe therapy is more than talking; it’s about creating meaningful change and learning to live fully. Some guiding principles of my work include:
Living with intention and agency – supporting you in making empowered choices that align with your values.
Cultivating self-understanding – fostering curiosity and deeper self-awareness.
Healing through connection – honoring the therapeutic relationship as a foundation for growth.
Facing difficult emotions – recognizing that healing often requires courage to explore discomfort.
Integrating mind and body – understanding how psychological defenses can block natural healing.
Honoring identity and culture – affirming the importance of your unique background, experiences, and expression.
In our sessions, I take an active, engaged role — offering feedback, tools, and accountability — while also listening deeply to your story.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Often Should I Come to Therapy?
A common question I hear is: “How often should I come to individual therapy?”
I typically recommend starting with weekly sessions. This frequency helps build trust, consistency, and momentum, which are key for meaningful progress. That said, I understand that life circumstances, schedules, and finances vary. We’ll work together in our initial sessions to set a pace that feels sustainable for you, and we can adjust as your needs evolve.
When Will I See Change?
Beginning therapy can bring a sense of hope and relief right away, simply by taking the step to seek support. Lasting change, however, takes time and a willingness to engage deeply with the therapeutic process.
The pace of growth depends on your goals, the challenges you’re facing, and the strength of the collaborative relationship we build together. My role is to support you, challenge you when needed, and walk alongside you as you move toward greater self-acceptance, resilience, and fulfillment.
