My approach to online therapy in Maryland and DC is grounded in evidence-based practices and compassionate guidance. This page on evidence-based therapy in Washington, DC outlines the modalities I use in virtual care.
The therapeutic approach is rooted in two clinically validated models:
- Helps clients explore and integrate inner emotional parts, reduce internal conflict, and build self-leadership.

These methods are supported by neuroscience and attachment theory. They are especially effective for clients dealing with anxiety, trauma, relationship distress, and identity-related challenges.
