Psychodynamic and psychoanalytic psychotherapy in Washington, DC for anxiety, depression, shame, trauma, and relationship difficulties.
A brief, no-pressure conversation to see whether we’re a good fit.

A persistent sense of inadequacy or shame, a feeling that you’re somehow not enough
A low, flat mood, as if life has lost its color

Working constantly, when part of you longs to feel lighter and more playful
Anger or irritation that seem to arrive from nowhere
The same difficulties surfacing in relationship after relationship
