Therapy for Washington, DC clients
Washington, DC runs on achievement. The career you've built, the position you hold, the way you show up — it all matters here. What doesn't show is the calculation that follows you through the day: what you ate, what you didn't, what your body looks like, whether you earned rest. You've managed this alongside everything else for long enough that the two have become hard to separate.
DC clients access this practice virtually. No commute, no waiting room where you might see a colleague. Sessions via a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform from wherever you have privacy.
In-person sessions are also available in Silver Spring, MD — about 20 minutes from central DC via Georgia Ave or the Red Line.
Specialties available to DC clients
For DC professionals at any stage. Understanding what the eating disorder has been doing for you — not just what it's been doing to you — is where the lasting work happens. Full inpatient-through-outpatient background.
Therapy for anxiety and perfectionism
DC anxiety rarely looks like falling apart. It looks like a schedule that never empties, a standard of preparation that's become unsustainable, and an inability to rest without guilt.
In DC, professional presence and appearance carry real social weight. Body image concerns often become entangled with professional identity in ways that make them harder to address and easier to rationalize.
Especially the kind that doesn't look like sadness — that looks like going through the motions while delivering at a high level, feeling strangely far from your own life.
Who seeks therapy at this practice from DC
Many of the people I work with in DC are professionals in their 30s and 40s who are succeeding at a high level and privately managing something the people around them would never guess. Policy analysts, lawyers, physicians, academics, government officials, nonprofit leaders.
They're often not in crisis. They're exhausted. And they've usually tried to handle it on their own for a long time before reaching out.
Why clients in DC choose this practice
My background spans the full continuum of eating disorder care: inpatient, partial hospitalization (PHP), and outpatient. This means I understand the high-functioning eating disorder at depth. The high-functioning presentation is one of the most commonly missed. This practice is specifically built for the person who looks fine from the outside and isn't. I hold a master's from Harvard in Human Development and Psychology and a bachelor's from Johns Hopkins.
