Individual therapy in Washington, DC.

The experiences
we can explore.

• Anxiety, depression, and emotional distress

I work with adults, with particular interest in the experiences of young adults and adults across the lifespan.

Men’s mental health and emotional life

One of my areas of clinical focus is men’s mental health. Expectations about masculinity, self-reliance, and emotional expression can shape relationships and the ways men understand themselves. If you are more comfortable solving problems than talking about feelings, we can begin there. Therapy offers space to explore anxiety, shame, anger, intimacy, and the pressure to appear in control, at a pace that allows trust to develop.

High achievement and the pressure to keep performing

You may be capable and successful in your work while feeling anxious, emotionally disconnected, or never quite good enough. I work with adults navigating demanding careers, perfectionism, and the strain of being someone others depend on. We can explore how achievement relates to self-worth, what happens when slowing down feels difficult, and how to make room for needs and relationships that have been harder to attend to.

LGBTQ+ affirming
individual therapy.

I welcome LGBTQ+ adults, including people exploring sexuality, identity, intimacy, family relationships, and belonging. We can consider the effects of stigma and marginalization alongside the experiences and relationships that are particular to you.

My clinical background includes individual and group counseling at Whitman-Walker and psychotherapy in community and medical settings. You can read more about my training and experience.

What happens when we begin?

We start by discussing what brings you to therapy, what you hope might change, and the experiences that help me understand you. We develop a focus together. The free consultation is also a chance to ask about current availability, fees, and session arrangements.

Individual psychotherapy is $250 for a 50-minute session. I am an out-of-network provider; superbills are available when appropriate. Read about fees and insurance.
