Online Therapy for Women in Washington, DC
You Are Incredibly Strong and You Have The Capacity To Heal.
You have been through so much. You have been through trauma, PTSD, medical gaslighting, invasive medical procedures, and surgeries. All to find a diagnosis, a treatment plan, get pregnant, or navigate cancer treatment. Maybe you have chronic pain or a chronic illness and are struggling to manage the flares. Or, you have been through the pain of IVF treatment, a hysterectomy, or the grief of miscarriage.
Emotional Stressors
Perhaps, you are a parent struggling with perinatal anxiety or postpartum depression and anxiety. Or, you have been through the unimaginable and challenging experience of sexual abuse or assault. You've been told how strong you are, but how can you heal, when everything around you is so difficult? As strong as you are, you shouldn't have to do it alone. As a woman and therapist, I understand these challenges, and my therapy practice specializes in addressing the issues women face.

My Approach to Online Therapy for Women in Washington, DC
For therapy, I use evidence-based therapies and treatments that are the gold standard for medical trauma, chronic illness and pain, and perinatal and postpartum mental health issues. I used therapies and techniques such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness and meditation techniques, grounding and distress tolerance techniques, and Cognitive Processing Therapy for trauma and PTSD. I use these approaches to help individualize each client’s treatment plan so that it is accessible, relevant, and meaningful for them.
Above all, I want to walk together through the pain and grief you are feeling, help you cope with anxiety, and feel the fog of depression lifted.
Through online women's therapy, I am here to support you through sitting with your grief and pain. Or, while you're taking committed action steps towards change, acknowledging emotions, and increasing acceptance. I am here to help you heal, remember what you're capable of and that there is hope for a brighter future. You are strong, resilient, and capable of healing.
