Therapists Beginning With J in District of Columbia

I approach therapy in a direct yet compassionate manner believing that long-term sustained change can only happen when growth occurs on the inside and flows outward. My goal is to help my clients walk their own individual path from self-judgment to self-transformation. I use a cognitive behavioral approach which guides you to understand how your thoughts/beliefs, feelings, and behaviors work together to determine your life experiences. Together, we will identify self-destructive patterns that stop you from getting what you want in life and replace them with constructive and goal-achieving ways of thinking and behaving.

Modern society requires many people to have so many roles, responsibilities, and obligations that they feel fragmented; many develop anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and other emotional problems as a result. I understand how hard it can be to live a life that sustains and honors your values without giving in to 'business as usual,' and I can help you heal the fractures.

We'll explore how to identify and reframe negative thoughts, regulate mood, improve communication, learn and implement new behaviors .

Hello and welcome! I'm Magda. Do you find that even after you've done all that you can think of to bring calm and quiet to your thoughts you still feel anxious and down? Do miss feeling unburdened from thoughts that cause you to judge yourself, and your choices? Do find yourself questioning your choices even when you feel sure of yourself? Do you consistently find yourself in relationships that don't make you feel safe or loved?

You are invaluable, but it doesn’t always feel that way. It seems you must put on a brave face for everyone, meanwhile, you feel as if you’re cracking under the pressure. Perhaps you’ve been taught to disconnect from your emotions, and it is affecting how you see yourself. Maybe people lack an understanding and appreciation for what it means to be you. You want for more but don’t think that you deserve it or engage in negative self-talk. Perhaps even you’ve made some choices you are not proud of and punish yourself as a result. You wish for a different life but it is difficult to let go of what you have known for so long.

Culturally-responsive therapy for everyone, everywhere. That’s my motto.

Struggling to navigate your 20s or 30s? Feeling overwhelmed or stuck in a negative cycle that you can't seem to get out of?
