Trauma Therapy in Washington, D.C. & Maryland
EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, IFS-Informed Parts Work & Relational therapy for adults seeking lasting change.
Approach.
I support adults in Washington, D.C. and Maryland navigating trauma, anxiety, self-esteem challenges, relationship concerns, and life transitions. My work centers on helping you build a more secure and compassionate relationship with yourself (and your nervous system) while addressing the root causes of persistent symptoms and relational patterns. Together, we’ll take intentional steps toward meaningful, lasting change—not just insight.
I’m especially passionate about the connection between therapy and neuroscience. Specifically, how the brain and nervous system can adapt and heal. I bring this lens into my trauma-informed work by cultivating nervous system awareness, expanding capacity, and supporting resilience & neuroplasticity. My approach blends evidence-based practices with creativity, warmth, and real-life relatability. Together, we’ll address the core wounds driving your symptoms, helping your nervous system shift out of chronic dysregulation and into a more grounded, embodied sense of safety and connection.

How I Help
EMDR Therapy
EMDR helps the brain process experiences that may still feel emotionally “stuck,” reducing the intensity of memories, triggers, and beliefs that continue to impact you in the present.
Somatic Experiencing®
A body-based approach that focuses on creating safety in the nervous system first. SE can help you build greater capacity to navigate difficult emotions and experiences without becoming overwhelmed or disconnected.
IFS-Informed Parts Work
Parts Work helps us understand the protective parts behind patterns like self-criticism, avoidance, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or pulling away from connection—with curiosity rather than judgment.
