Trauma Therapy in Washington, D.C., Virginia & Maryland
Holistic Healing for Motivated Individuals
Do you struggle with any of the following?
Perfectionist tendencies fuel procrastination and anxiety, trapping you in a cycle of self-doubt and overwhelm. You’re always putting other’s first, and it’s wearing you down.
"What-ifs" and past mistakes play on a loop in your mind, stealing your focus from the present and leaving you emotionally drained.
There’s a constant pressure to hide your true feelings or needs to avoid being seen as a burden, which creates loneliness and disconnection.
You didn’t feel seen as a kid, and it still feels that way.
Focusing on everyday tasks feels impossible, and you wonder if ADHD might explain why everything feels so overwhelming.
Past painful experiences still cast a shadow, showing up as intrusive memories, difficulty trusting others, or a constant sense of being on edge.
Creativity feels stifled by the tension in your body—tight shoulders, a racing heart, or a heavy chest—making it hard to express your true self.
You’re in the right place.

Virtual Therapy: Healing from the Comfort of Home
Life is busy, and carving out time for therapy can feel like just another stressor. That’s why we offer virtual therapy—a flexible, accessible option designed to fit seamlessly into your routine.
Imagine settling into your favorite chair, a warm drink in hand, your pet by your side, and starting your session from the privacy of your own space. Many clients find it easier to open up when they’re in a familiar environment, free from the pressures of commuting or worrying about being seen at a therapy office.
Virtual therapy offers all the same benefits of in-person sessions, with added convenience and confidentiality. You can save time, avoid transportation hassles, and focus entirely on your healing. Your sessions will be held over a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform, ensuring your privacy and safety every step of the way.
