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.
