Therapists Beginning With M in District of Columbia

If you are reading this, you have already taken the first step! Starting therapy can be overwhelming, especially if you have been sitting with difficult feelings on your own, but here’s the thing, some of the scariest things are the most rewarding; and I am here to move into that with you. My practice is informed by my identity as a black woman, and I view the therapeutic relationship as a space that fosters a collaborative environment. I navigate spaces with openness, humor, and empathy, seeking always to understand others with grace and an appreciation of their autonomy.

I work with clients to create a safe and affirming relationship so that there is room for healing and growth. My work with each client is unique, however central to my work is respect for your issues, concerns, and the challenges you face in your life. I see therapy as a partnership where we work together to create the changes that you are seeking in your life. I am comforatable working with a wide variety of issues from career and work life to recovering from childhood trauma and abuse.

Therapy helps us cope more effectively with challenges and encourages growth even in difficult circumstances. A strong relationship between therapist and client can make the process significantly more enjoyable and productive. I strive to be genuine and authentic in sessions, incorporating humor and warmth to create a safe, nonjudgmental, and respectful space for support. Together, we will explore your ways of thinking in order to facilitate insight into your experience and gain new skills and strategies to create long-lasting, positive change in your life.

Does life constantly feel overwhelming? Do you have past or present trauma that seems to affect everything you think or do? Do you feel like your partner never listens to or understands you? Or does it feel like they just don’t care about you or your needs at all? These are all common experiences for individuals and couples. The good news is, there is hope and help. I can help you work through that trauma so it does not affect you constantly. I can teach you and your partner how to communicate more effectively so that you can meet each other’s needs and get back to that loving place you were in at the start of the relationship.

Life is a journey, and often we get lost along the way. Psychotherapy is a transformative process that helps you to locate your internal compass, so that you can live a more fulfilling and productive life; navigate difficult periods and transitions; and ultimately feel more comfortable in your own skin. As a clinical psychologist, I have years of experience and training working with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, career obstacles, self-esteem, family discord, grief and loss, defeating patterns of behavior, and the process of coming to terms with difficult and traumatic life situations.

My goal as a therapist is to help you find the best ways to navigate your needs in a safe space. I will help you to engage in and to incorporate self-care into your day to day life. Have you recently felt like your life was changed forever? Have you experienced a loss of a job or a loved one or are currently in crisis? Have you experienced trauma in your life or are you feeling lost or anxious?

My goal is to provide a warm and inviting space so you can come as you are and feel safe as we work together.

Todavía están tensos y con rabia por otra pelea a gritos que acaban de tener. Ni siquiera están seguros de qué se trataba esta vez. Últimamente, cualquier cosa pequeña puede desencadenar una batalla total entre ustedes. Ayer discutieron por sus suegros, el día anterior fue por dinero. Ha llegado al punto en que han comenzado a evitarse porque no pueden estar en la misma habitación sin pelear. ¿Sería mejor si simplemente separamos? No están listos para renunciar al sueño de un futuro compartido , pero las cosas solo empeoran. Quiere salvar esta relación, pero no está seguros de cómo hacerlo. Están ya desesperados sin saber que hacer!

Many of us face difficult times in our lives, which may lead us to seek out help from others. I believe that psychotherapy can facilitate gaining a better understanding of ourselves, helping you to become more resilient and improve your sense of self. Those who engage in therapy often find that as a result they are able to live more open, genuine, and fulfilling lives.

Do you long to move past circular fights with your partner about the dishes and who does more? Are you exhausted from pushing down your own feelings and needs due to feelings of guilt? Do you desire to move past the surface level conflict and get to the heart of your repeat arguments and feel deeply emotionally connected and best friends with your partner again? Welcome, you're in the right place. I offer traditional, weekly therapy for women as well as customized Intensive (Extended) Therapy options for Premarital Counseling and Couples Counseling for busy couples who want to skip the start/stop of weekly therapy and see change.

As most of us have learned, life presents us with many opportunities for stress, anxiety and emotional turmoil. Sometimes we need professional support to help us navigate challenges in our life. Each of us is unique and therapeutic treatment must also change based on this quality. Therapy is simply a tool that can help you steer the course of your life to the best of your ability so that you can achieve your goals. I provide supportive therapy at a non-judgmental stance and hope that you will find me open and easy to talk to.

Hi there! I’m happy that you’re here and willing to take a look at things in your life through a perspective of change. Change is the only constant in life. Change is uncomfortable but if you’ve made it to this point, I encourage you to continue to choose yourself and take charge of your life. I’m here to take clinical words or taboo ideas and see how they might firstly, make sense in your situation and secondly, apply to your day-to-day in concrete ways. I am not here to give you answers rather ask the right questions that help you discover or accept answers yourself. Let’s move forward together!
