My therapy office is located in the American University Park neighborhood of Washington, DC, near Spring Valley, Tenleytown, Chevy Chase, Kent, the Palisades and Cleveland Park.

Yes. I also offer secure, HIPAA-compliant teletherapy for DC residents. Telehealth makes it easy to access therapy from your home, dorm, or office - whether you’re balancing a busy work schedule, parenting, or away at school.

I'm a therapist in Washington, DC specializing in anxiety, career stress and burnout, postpartum depression and anxiety, perfectionism, and parenting-related challenges. I work with adults, young adults, and older adolescents (16+), including high-achieving professionals and students throughout the DC area.

Teletherapy sessions are held via a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. You can join from your laptop, tablet, or phone. This is especially helpful for clients with full schedules, students away at school, or parents who need flexibility.

My approach as a DC-based therapist draws primarily on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), two of the most well-supported, evidence-based treatments for anxiety. Rather than just managing symptoms, we work together to build psychological flexibility, quiet self-criticism, and take practical steps aligned with what actually matters to you.

If you’ve been feeling anxious, burned out, overwhelmed, or just not like yourself, therapy can be a safe space to sort things out. You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit—many clients come to therapy because they want to feel more grounded, make clearer decisions, and live with more purpose.

I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington, DC (License #LC50082695), with a Master of Social Work from the University of Toronto and over 15 years of clinical experience across outpatient and inpatient clinics, private practice, and work with executives at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business.

I am an out-of-network provider, which means I do not bill insurance directly. However, I can provide you with a monthly superbill that includes the necessary information and CPT codes (90834 for in-person sessions or 90834-95 for telehealth) to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

Many of my clients find that their insurance reimburses anywhere from 60–90% of session costs once their deductible is met.

If you’d like to check your benefits before starting therapy, here are a few helpful questions to ask your insurance company:

• Do I have out-of-network mental health coverage?

• What percentage of the cost is covered for CPT codes 90834 (in-person) or 90834-95 (telehealth)?

• How do I submit claims for reimbursement?

Yes. As a therapist in Washington , DC specializing in maternal mental health, I work with postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety, as well as the emotional impact of fertility struggles, pregnancy loss, and difficult pregnancies.

Yes. I work closely with professionals navigating career transitions, workplace stress, burnout, and imposter syndrome, including attorneys, consultants, executives, and government and nonprofit professionals in the Washington, DC area. I also work with high school, college, and graduate students figuring out their next step.

If anxiety, burnout, or overwhelm are getting in the way of your work, relationships, or day-to-day life, that's usually enough of a reason to reach out to a therapist. You don't need to wait until things feel unmanageable or reach a crisis point. As a therapist in Washington, DC with a specialization in anxiety therapy I am happy to connect and help you reduce the anxiety you are feeling on a day-to-day basis.

I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so we can talk about what's bringing you in and whether it feels like a good fit before scheduling a first session.

It depends on what you're working through, but many clients notice some relief within the first several sessions of working with a therapist. We'll check in regularly on how things are progressing and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
