I'm so glad you're here

I’m a licensed psychotherapist based in Washington, D.C., where I offer a space for deep, compassionate inquiry into the mind, body, and self.

​

My work is grounded in both psychoanalytic and Buddhist-informed traditions, and supported by my background as a yoga teacher. This integrative lens allows me to explore the full range of human experience with clients—emotionally, somatically, and relationally. I pay close attention to the interplay between the mind and body, and how past experiences continue to shape the present moment.

​

I understand that for many, the body has not always felt like a safe place. Whether due to trauma, disordered eating, or self-harming behaviors, the body may feel more like a battleground than a home. My work is about helping people return to themselves with more steadiness, curiosity, and compassion. Together, we cultivate a sense of safety—internally and interpersonally—while developing concrete tools like grounding, breathwork, and emotional regulation to support that process.

Eating Disorder Treatment

​

Recovery is not simply about symptom reduction—though we will certainly address behaviors like restriction, bingeing, purging, compulsive exercise, and body preoccupation. It's also about understanding why the eating disorder took root in the first place: what it has protected you from, expressed on your behalf, or helped you survive.

​

Often, disordered eating is intertwined with deeper feelings of unworthiness, isolation, and disconnection from one’s own emotional life. I work relationally and compassionately to help clients uncover the emotional and developmental needs underlying their symptoms, and to begin meeting those needs in new, sustainable ways. This is not a quick fix—but a process of returning to wholeness.

​

Trauma Treatment

​

Because eating disorders are so often woven with histories of trauma, I’ve expanded my work to focus more broadly on the lasting impact of trauma on the nervous system, relationships, and sense of self.

​

We might be a good fit if your trauma has led to instability in relationships, emotional numbing, mood swings, or self-harm. My approach is attachment-focused and body-aware, drawing from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-sensitive yoga, somatic experiencing, and—soon—EMDR. I aim to offer a holding environment where trauma can be met with gentleness, curiosity, and care.

​

Group Therapy

​

Group therapy holds a special place in my heart. While individual therapy offers one lens, group invites something richer: a live, relational field in which long-standing patterns can be seen and felt in real time.

​

Many of our earliest relational templates were shaped in childhood, often in environments where needs were unmet or misattuned. In group, we have the rare opportunity to revisit those blueprints and experience new kinds of connection. This attachment repair group is ideal for those who are ready to explore themselves more deeply through relationship—with others and with the parts of self that come alive in group dynamics.

​

Yoga Integration

​

As both a therapist and yoga teacher, I hold deep respect for the intelligence of the body. For clients living with eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, or depression, the body can often feel foreign, overwhelming, or even dangerous.

​

Through somatic practices and yoga-informed therapy, we gently reintroduce the body as an ally in healing. This means moving beyond cognition—beyond talking about change—and into a direct, embodied experience of presence, calm, and integration. For many of my clients, this body-level work is essential to their healing process.
