Do you feel alone or misunderstood? Are some days especially hard to feel hopeful? I believe every person has strength that can sometimes feel difficult to find. I approach therapy in a way of helping you identify your strengths and make sense of your past experiences so that you can live more fully in the present and begin building the future that you want. I specialize in providing trauma-focused psychotherapy to adults who have experienced or are experiencing trauma/PTSD, are having relationship issues, and/or facing low self-esteem.

In therapy, the focus inevitably turns to the balance between self and others. Being responsible for one's own needs while being responsive to others, whether in a relationship, school, or at work is a dynamic, and sometimes confounding, process. How do you find that balance, being true to oneself and a truely caring person? That's the work of therapy. I work with individuals, couples, families, and students. I have a recognized expertise with severe psychological trauma, depression, anxiety, and marital problems including infidelities. I am proud to have been twice highly recommended by Washingtonian Magazine.

Do you find yourself constantly worried, stressed, overwhelmed, or having racing thoughts? Maybe you fear losing control over yourself and what others might think of you if this happens. Or perhaps you’ve been feeling sad, irritable, having uncharacteristic outbursts of crying, and lacking energy or motivation to engage in pleasant activities. Many people who experience anxiety, depression, stress, and feeling overwhelmed start to isolate, avoid enjoyable activities and engage in unhealthy behaviors but soon find themselves more anxious, worried, and depressed than before. It can leave you feeling exhausted, stuck, and hopeless.

I help clients experiencing burnout reconnect with themselves emotionally, create healthier boundaries, and feel supported without judgment. In our work together, your feelings and needs are the priority.

You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck — carrying more than you can name. Maybe you’re navigating grief, a painful life transition, relationship strain, or the weight of old patterns that no longer serve you. You don’t have to sort through it alone. Therapy can help you move toward clarity, steadiness, and a renewed sense of self. I work with adults, older teens, and older adults facing anxiety, trauma, depression, life transitions, and grief — including the layered, complex grief that follows a suicide loss.

Hello, I’m Dania. I’m a counselor, art therapist, and trauma-focused therapist with over 12 years of clinical experience supporting individuals who are living with the lasting impact of unresolved trauma. Many of the people I work with internally feel anxious, on edge, emotionally shut down, or easily overwhelmed. You might find yourself reacting more intensely than you’d like, withdrawing in relationships, overextending to keep the peace, or feeling a persistent sense of not being fully safe or settled. Often, these patterns are are survival responses that developed in earlier environments where you had to adapt in order to cope.

Our experiences impact the way we see the world. Symptoms often emerge as attempts to adapt. In the context of a supportive therapeutic relationship, we can look at the parts of your life that are no longer serving you. In therapy, I will help you express your thoughts and feelings and listen to you on multiple levels. At times, I may call attention to your here-and-now experience.

Life is unavoidably full of transitions, stressors, disappointments, and losses that create blocks to the life you want to lead. I provide a break from the busyness, to explore where you are and where you want to go. That path to change may include new ways of relating to relationships, work demands, past trauma or other external factors. Additionally, growth may be shifts in internal dialogues that lead to challenges, like anxiety and depression. Whatever your goals, my role is to hold a compassionate space to be curious about your needs, to connect your past to your present, and to find a way forward towards the change you desire.
