I am a psychotherapist and life coach with over 25 years of experience practicing in the Washington, DC, area.
I have trained extensively with professional and master coaches and I work with a diverse clientele that include young professionals at the beginning of their careers as well as executives and corporate leaders in the financial industry. I believe that clarity enables us to take a stand for what we want in life. It allows us to make a commitment to take action to create a meaningful and purposeful life.
First session
After initial introductions, we will spend some time talking about values, goals, and desired outcomes. We will then talk about current obstacles and challenges and formulate a plan to work together.
Strengths
I bring a non-judgmental and compassionate approach to my client work.
Ideal clients
I work with clients who are on a journey of healing and self-discovery. Some of my clients are young professionals who are starting out and navigating through career and relationship challenges. Others are seasoned professionals who are going through difficult life transitions. I provide unconditional support from a place of love and integrity, and I believe that the power of transformation is within the clients.
Treatment methods
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Using my experience in life-coaching, I work collaboratively with clients to achieve their life goals, focusing on overcoming obstacles /difficult life situations and pursuing activities that bring happiness and fulfillment.
Compassion Focused
By embracing a compassion-focused approach, I work from a place of non-judgement to allow my clients space to heal from past trauma and embrace choices that are aligned with their life journey and essence.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use this approach with clients who have struggled with past trauma and self-destructive patterns of behavior. Clients are taught the use of mindfulness and emotional regulation techniques to cope with stressful situations and triggering events.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I use this approach to help clients overcome anxiety and depression, by focusing on the present and teaching a mind -body approach to deal with negative energy and thoughts.
Positive Psychology
This is an approach that I incorporate into my practice to help clients focus on self-care and enhance their well- being. By embracing a practice of gratitude and developing healthy relationships with supportive and caring individuals, clients will improve their self-efficacy and develop a more fulfilling life.
