Introduction

Welcome! I am a licensed therapist in Washington, DC, and a professor of counseling. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and I integrate somatic-based therapy with Gestalt, mindfulness, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) approaches. I specialize in counseling for stress and trauma, with an emphasis on understanding culture, context, strengths, and systemic challenges. I love working collaboratively with clients to tap into their own healing resources and to find more congruence, joy, and hope!
