You've never walked into a room unprepared. You've just stopped walking into yourself.
Attachment-centered, trauma-informed therapy for high-achieving DC women navigating anxiety, burnout, and the exhaustion of being composed in every room except the one where you're alone.
In this city, competence is currency. You read the room before you walk into it. You know exactly how much of yourself to show and how much to hold back. You have built a reputation on never looking rattled.
But that same vigilance that serves you at work doesn't turn off when you get home. You are still performing, for yourself now, convinced that if you ever stop being impressive, you'll stop being worth keeping.
You are not broken. You are exhausted from surviving.
Sessions are held by secure telehealth. You must be physically located in Washington, DC during each session.
You are the woman who:
- ✦Has mastered reading a room, and quietly lost track of how she actually feels in it
- ✦Works in a high-stakes, high-visibility field, law, policy, government, media, consulting
- ✦Treats rest as something to be earned, not something she's allowed
- ✦Wants a therapist who understands the specific weight of this city, not generic burnout advice
How we work together.
My approach is integrative, relational, and depth-oriented. I draw from Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), narrative therapy, and somatic practices, and I'm a trained EMDR therapist for clients ready to move beyond talk therapy alone.
Sessions are paced with care. I am engaged, direct, and present, not a blank screen. Healing here is relational, collaborative, and built around your nervous system's capacity to integrate change.
