Financial Therapy for Clients in Washington, D.C
Support for professionals, globally mobile families, and thoughtful clients navigating money, identity, and transition.
In Washington, D.C., success often comes with pressure, responsibility, and a level of complexity that is not always visible from the outside. For some people, that may look like the emotional weight of leadership. For others, it may be the tension of public service, global mobility, family expectations, or wealth that does not feel as simple as it appears on paper.
I provide financial therapy and psychology-informed support for clients in Washington, D.C. who want to better understand the deeper patterns shaping their relationship with money, achievement, identity, and change.
As a board-certified psychologist and Certified Financial Therapist™, I work with people who value depth, discretion, and a thoughtful approach to emotional well-being.
Common reasons clients reach out
Money stress that does not match the numbers
You may be doing well and still feel anxious, avoidant, or unsettled when it comes to money.
High-responsibility roles
Leadership, diplomacy, policy work, consulting, and other demanding careers can create chronic pressure that shows up in the body, relationships, and decision-making.
Global mobility and transition
Foreign Service families, expats, and globally mobile professionals often carry added layers of identity shift, reinvention, and re-entry stress.
Family and cultural expectations
Money can carry obligation, guilt, pressure, and unspoken roles that become harder to ignore over time.
Success that feels heavier than expected
Sometimes the issue is not a lack of insight. It is that old patterns are still driving how you respond to safety, achievement, and self-worth.
How financial therapy can help
Financial therapy goes beyond budgeting or surface-level behavior change. Together, we look at the emotional, relational, cultural, and nervous system patterns that may still be shaping your choices.
This work can help you:
understand money anxiety, avoidance, or overthinking
work through guilt, pressure, or scarcity patterns
make sense of the emotional side of major financial or life transitions
build a steadier relationship with money, identity, and decision-making
My approach is warm, thoughtful, and grounded in clinical depth. I draw from evidence-based modalities such as EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and other trauma-informed approaches when appropriate.
Virtual therapy for clients in Washington, D.C.
My practice is fully virtual, which allows me to offer secure teletherapy for clients who are physically located in Washington, D.C.
