​Psychotherapy  
Live with Greater Intention
I am currently accepting new clients in the District of Columbia, Virginia, and Maryland, and am providing telehealth services through a secure video conferencing program.

It can be overwhelming to look for a therapist, and I understand the difficulty in finding the right fit.  As a social worker, it is my goal to be responsive to all email inquiries by prospective new clients, and to refer you to another provider if I either don't have capacity, or if I believe you'd be better served by a provider with different expertise.
Picture
I operate Therapeutic Services of Alexandria as a licensed clinical social worker who has been working in the DC Metro Area since 2006.  I have over 17 years experience in providing counseling services in a variety of settings and my office is located in Old Town Alexandria.
​
I have heard many reasons for seeking therapy with a trained clinician over the years:  anxiety, depression, loss, life transitions, trauma, coping skills, stress, and relationship problems. There is no wrong reason to reach out.
Whatever your reason for being interested in therapy it's important to pay attention to that part of you who is curious; curious about the possibility of feeling better or living  a more satisfying life.

​I hope the information on my website will give you a better sense of what I do, who I am, and whether I could be helpful to you.​ I provide more specific information about the techniques I use here: My Approach
“When I have been listened to and when I have been heard, I am able to re-perceive my world in a new way and to go on. It is astonishing how elements that seem insoluble become soluble when someone listens, how confusions that seem irremediable turn into relatively clear flowing streams when one is heard. I have deeply appreciated the times that I have experienced this sensitive, empathic, concentrated listening.”
