Our approach

If you often put others’ needs before your own, you may feel tired all the time, invisible, or unsure of how to care for yourself. Our practice works with individuals who identify as empathetic, caring, and compassionate, often being labeled “the responsible” ones. Here you will find support and a consistent, safe space where your needs matter as much as the people you care for.

Providing you with a safe space to process and heal.

In-person and virtual options

Our office is conveniently located in the Del Ray Neighborhood of Alexandria, Virginia. If in-person is not ideal, we do offer virtual sessions as well.
