When Life is Too Hard: Online Therapy in MD, VA, and DC
Life can be hard in many ways.
Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or ongoing stress?
Do you feel overwhelmed and out of control?
Do you struggle to feel emotions and connection with others?
Do your emotions feel “too strong” or your reactions feel “too intense”?
Do you consider yourself “highly sensitive”?
Are you experiencing loss, grief, or any major life transition?
Have you experienced physical, emotional, or sexual abuse?
Have you tried solving things on your own or tried other therapy that hasn’t seemed to help?
When life feels too hard in any of these ways, it can disrupt your emotional well-being, relationships, and daily functioning, creating cycles of suffering that can feel overwhelming. However, there is hope for healing—it’s within your reach.
How I can help:
I offer therapy that doesn’t just ask you to talk about your problems over and over.
I offer therapy that goes beyond just giving you coping tools to manage your symptoms.
I work with my clients help them uncover and address the underlying factors contributing to your symptoms.
Together we move beyond your daily surface-level struggles to address the problems that drive them.
Whether you are struggling with anxiety, chronic stress, depression, emotional reactivity, anger, low self-esteem, or persistent feelings of shame, I can help.
We can work together to support you in finding a new way forward to greater ease, balance, and confidence.
I also specialize in working with adults who have ADHD and those who have trauma, for whom many of the experiences above are quite common.
My Approach to Therapy
In my work with clients in Maryland, Virginia, and DC I integrate a variety of evidence-based modalities to tailor treatment to your unique needs.
Emotional Freedom Techniques (“Tapping”): Rooted over 2,000 years of traditional Chinese Medicine, this evidenced-based approach involved gently touching acupressure points to shift energy meridians and rewire brain and body.
Brainspotting: This powerful therapy targets and processes feelings and experiences stored in the body, mind, and nervous system helping you release past struggles and move forward with clarity.
Somatic therapy: Using the body’s natural wisdom, somatic therapy helps release feelings and experiences stored in the nervous system, bringing greater calm, regulation, and resilience.
Energy Psychology: This modality uses a combination of powerful techniques to clear energy blockages, support emotional healing, and rewire negative patterns of thought.
These approaches can combine to create an integrative, holistic path to transformation and growth that doesn’t simply focus on symptom management but instead supports you in addressing the underlying causes of your struggles. This method allows for profound shifts in how you relate to yourself, your body, your feelings, your energy, and the people and the world around you.
