Authenticity is an essential component of the therapeutic environment. I strive to create spaces for individuals to feel safe, heard, seen, and empowered.

I help people to be better focused, motivated, organized, and thrive in life. I specialize in attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD) and executive function challenges (i.e., time management, organization). I often blend traditional psychotherapy with executive function coaching. Through this, I help clients to better understand their difficulties, as well as take concrete steps and actions to make tangible changes in order to see the improvements that they desire. With Psypact, I can see clients in 42 states. With kids and teens, this often involves helping them plan out homework assignments, use a task list or calendar, and better understand how to manage their time, and address challenges with this, such as distractions. For adults, this may involve helping them plan out and execute work tasks, household chores, keeping themselves organized to know where they need to be and when for their kids, and more. In addition to psychotherapy, coaching, and attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD) testing, I run an executive functioning boot camp. This is a two-hour intensive 1:1 or family session geared towards helping kids, teens, and adults jump-start or fine-tune strategies and tools. We work together to make a comprehensive plan of what to do going forward, and set up tools as feasible during the session. Obviously, follow-through is crucial, and can be even harder than knowing what to do. We work on this during the session, and follow-up appointments are also available to assist with this.

Are you struggling with social anxiety, relationship challenges, or a general sense of unease that makes it hard to fully enjoy life? Perhaps anxiety is getting in the way of what is important to you, you are having difficulty finding or maintaining healthy relationships, or you are struggling to understand (much less communicate) your emotions, wants, and needs. As a result, you may be feeling overwhelmed, lost, stuck, unfulfilled, or inadequate. If so, then I can help: I specialize in working with people who are not getting what they want or need out of relationships (including their relationship with themselves). Together, we will explore the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may be influencing your current struggles, while developing new, practical skills. We may work on altering negative self-talk, improving your relationships (e.g., setting boundaries, improving communication), developing tools to help manage anxiety, or exploring what gives life meaning for you. To help determine whether working together would be a good fit, the next step is to schedule a free, 15-minute phone consultation—no pressure, just a conversation. You can schedule online by going to my website, send me a message (best way to reach me), or give me a call. I will get back to you very quickly, usually within 24 hours!

My approach to therapy is largely cognitive/behavioral, with a strong emphasis on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) techniques, specifically learning to be mindful- noticing and accept your thoughts, feelings and physical sensations- while committing to behavior that is consistent with your own values. My experiences both in and out of the work setting are fairly broad so I feel I can address most issues clients present with. My style is engaging and supportive. I view our relationship as a partnership. I will spend the majority of our first sessions together listening to get to know you better. I believe that everything in our lives is interrelated, so at times I may let our focus move to whatever is particularly troubling to you that day. At other times, I may focus you back on the current problem we are trying to solve. I am married with two children and have had two career changes. I have experienced a wide variety of life stressors and have sought help when needed. I believe that these experiences have provided me with empathy, perspective and coping skills that I can use to help you.

Entering therapy can be overwhelming and intimidating. Whether it is your first time or 100th time, reflecting on painful experiences, facing your struggles, and sharing your life story with someone else is extremely difficult. I strive to provide a safe, collaborative, judgment-free environment for individuals to gain support in navigating life's ups and downs. I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to be heard, validated, and reminded of their strengths, so that they feel empowered to achieve their personal goals.

Are you suffering from depression and anxiety or dealing with trauma, grief, or relationship issues? Do you have a sense of emotional overwhelm that leaves you feeling empty and exhausted? Are you dealing with chronic health issues of your own or a loved one? Have the stresses of your life disconnected you from the joy you were once able to feel? The stresses of human existence can become too much to handle on your own. It is in these times that you need the support of a professional. I am a Licensed Psychotherapist, Registered Yoga Teacher, and Ayurveda Lifestyle Counselor. My unique blend of healing modalities called Holistic Integrated Psychotherapy brings a rich tapestry of knowledge to the therapeutic relationship. Merging traditional psychotherapy with yoga, meditation, mindfulness, and Ayurveda practices allows for a deeper level of healing for the mind, body, emotions, and spirit that one will not attain with traditional psychotherapy practices alone. These modalities are not just practices but ways of understanding how we as human beings relate to ourselves and each other. One does not need any experience with yoga to benefit from this mind/body/spirit approach, all you need is to be open to the connection between this trilogy. Holistic Integrated Psychotherapy will guide you to heart based healing. Begin your journey today. Contact me for a free telephone consult.

Many people seek guidance from a therapist because they feel overwhelmed by emotional distress, or they believe they have lost an aspect of control within their life. In a safe and non-judgmental space, I work closely with my clients in order to help them rediscover empowerment, meaning, and direction in their lives. I believe a strong relationship with your therapist is essential for successful treatment. By exploring the strength of the relationship we create together, it will help you to evaluate other important relationships in your life. While this work in therapy can be challenging, this work can help elevate your mood, relieve your anxiety, and contribute to a personal sense of fulfillment. While I offer psychotherapy services to people who are experiencing a wide range of issues, I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, ADHD, relationship issues, chronic shame, trauma, and LGBTQ+ concerns. Please feel free to be in touch with me about how I might be of help to you, and so that we can schedule an initial consultation session together. My office is located in Dupont Circle.

I believe every individual has their own strength and weaknesses. It is my hope to provide a safe and secure environment in which people can explore their emotions and reach their personal goals to find happiness. In my experience having safe and secure connection with the therapist allows individuals to truly work on their inner feelings and achieve progress.
