Therapists for college students near Howard University

Eudaimonia is a professional mental health practice. We are helping individuals improve their overall well-being through introspection, education, skills-building, therapy, and medication. We recognize that wellness looks different for each individual, so we tailor our approach to suit each client's specific needs. Our wellness practice strives to be a space where patients are comfortable providing some of their most intimate thoughts to their clinicians and reassured by the fact that they are receiving quality care. We hope that through teamwork—a combination of our clinicians’ extensive knowledge in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and the medical factors contributing to how one feels and our patients’ doing the hard work of investing in themselves—positive outcomes will be assured. Our treatment philosophy involves evidence-based mental wellness services that start with therapy and incorporate comprehensive medication management if indicated. While based in the greater DC Metropolitan Area, clinicians hold licenses in AL, AZ, DC, FL, IL, MD, MT, ND, NE, PA, VA, and WI and are available to see patients throughout those states via telepsychiatry. For those with UnitedHealthcare StudentResources insurance (Georgetown University, University of Maryland, & University of Florida), your co-pay is only $10 per session.

I am a dual board-certified family nurse practitioner and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with 11 years of combined clinical experience in working in the outpatient settings. I earned my post master’s certificate as a PMHNP from the University of Cincinnati in 2021 following 9 years of practice as a family nurse practitioner. I have worked in the FQHC settings caring for the underserved population, detention center, nursing homes and community mental health centers in several states. These diverse experiences have shaped me into a well-rounded and adaptable provider. I take a holistic, patient-centered approach, focusing on the whole person rather than just their symptoms. By integrating the latest evidence-based practices with a strong emphasis on patient education and advocacy, I strive to empower individuals to take an active role in their well-being. My passion lies in delivering compassionate, high-quality care to patients from diverse backgrounds and communities. I provide medication management and supportive therapy, as needed, for the treatment of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD and other mental health conditions. I recognize that everyone is unique, and I dedicate time to understanding each patient’s individual needs in order to equip them with the skills and tools necessary for a fulfilling and successful life.

Understanding people to help them authentically see themselves has been my primary objective since entering the field of mental health, specifically dedicating my time to helping enrich the lives of others. In my years of experience, I have met with people of all ages, listening to and absorbing their stories, eventually helping them to make small steps leading into big changes in their lives. I currently provide therapy to various populations (military, children and adults), specializing in CBT, strength-based and solution-focused techniques to address concerns in areas of trauma, ADHD, depression, anxiety, relational issues and adjustment challenges.

As a licensed therapist with experience helping a diverse range of individuals, I specialize in guiding BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and young to older adults through struggles with anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, relationship problems, life transitions, and perinatal issues. My mission is to support you in cultivating healthier thought patterns and behaviors through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), building and improving coping strategies through Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), and assisting in the processing and healing of trauma and life experiences. I take a trauma-informed and empowering approach that is tailored to your unique history and goals. Working together, you can expect a collaborative and supportive environment designed to help you build resilience and enhance coping strategies, with treatments that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Motivational Interviewing, and solution-focused approaches. No matter the treatment, I believe in empathy, collaboration, and honesty, which helps me be a caring, team-oriented, and transparent partner in your therapeutic journey. I look forward to building a strong, reliable relationship that nurtures our time together. My path to becoming a therapist began with work as an immigration paralegal, a victim-witness coordinator, and a guardianship liaison. These experiences developed my awareness of the gap in mental health services for BIPOC communities and deepened my commitment to making a difference within my communities. I now bring a personalized, supportive, and empathetic presence to each session guided by this awareness and dedication for positive change. Outside the office, I love reading – and building book nooks to get lost in novels in comfort. I also enjoy traveling and swimming for fitness.

As a mental health therapist with experience supporting diverse populations, I am dedicated to helping adolescents, adults, and high-performing creatives and athletes in overcoming struggles related to stress, depression, anxiety, identity development, life transitions, attachment concerns, and self-doubt.

I look forward to exploring challenges together, developing practical skills, and guiding you in navigating life with clarity, confidence, and agency. My path to becoming a therapist was built upon my own experiences navigating identity, grief, high-performance pressures, life transitions, and chronic medical challenges. Overcoming the obstacles created from these challenges taught me the value of providing restorative, patient-centered care, a perspective that allows me to better support self-awareness, insight, emotional regulation, meaning-making, psychological flexibility, and behavioral change in each session. When I’m not in the office, I’m out and about in my community! I love thrifting, traveling, running, dancing, and facilitating community events. During quieter moments, I enjoy journaling/reflection and making oddly specific music playlists.

We achieve this together through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and more approaches so you better understand your emotions, your reactions to those emotions, and ways to manage life experiences. The Netflix show Sex Education drew me toward the therapeutic path upon being inspired by the main character’s mother and the type of work she did with her clients. After finding a dual-program with this specialty, I discovered my love for general mental health care and how it intersected with many sexual issues that people experience. This love brings new inspiration to my practice now, where I ensure judgement-free, trauma-informed, strengths-based care with an open mind and down-to-earth vibe. I enjoy a variety of hobbies when I’m not in the office – exercising and playing with my dog to stay active, reading and trying new restaurants to explore new worlds, and spending time outdoors to connect with nature.

I’ve always been drawn to developing personal and professional growth. In my business life, I’ve been a coach, a marketer, a salesperson, a communications expert, and a professional experience developer. This mix of skills is evident in my work with patients now, where I bring a creative and human perspective to each session. When I’m not in the office, I’m out and about, exploring my great city and traveling. I also enjoy yoga, dining in and out, and long walks with my adorable pup.

As a Licensed Graduate Social Worker, I specialize in supporting individuals and couples navigating fertility treatment, infertility challenges, and Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART), including IVF and IUI. I also have a deep commitment to working with LGBTQIA+ individuals and same-sex couples on their family-building journeys, including donor conception, sperm or egg donation, gestational carriers, and third-party reproduction. Whether you’re discerning donor options, exploring co-parenting conversations, or learning how to advocate for yourself within the fertility clinic system, I offer affirming, informed support every step of the way. Beyond fertility care, I work with young adults and LGBTQIA+ individuals through life transitions, identity exploration, self-fulfillment, relationship dynamics, and personal growth. My approach is person-centered, affirming, and collaborative, and I am here to walk alongside you as you navigate some of life's most meaningful and complex experiences. At the heart of my work is a genuine commitment to making you feel truly seen. I believe that the most meaningful therapeutic work happens when you feel safe enough to be honest, so I prioritize creating a space that is nonjudgmental, warm, and unhurried from the very first session. Working together, we’ll use collaborative exploration, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and strengths-based techniques to help you reconnect with your values and move through life's most challenging moments with greater clarity. Because no two people – and no two journeys – are exactly alike, my approach is tailored to your unique story, goals, and pace, in an environment that is safe, affirming, and entirely yours. Therapy is your time, which is why I vow to always show up to each session ready to meet you exactly where you are. My path to becoming a therapist began at the St. Louis City Courthouse, where I had the privilege of supporting survivors of domestic and intimate partner violence. That experience showed me, in vivid and lasting terms, how community resources, advocacy, and therapeutic care can genuinely change the course of someone's life. I went on to spend several years in Washington, D.C., working in international development and political advocacy. That work deepened my understanding of how the world's larger systems shape each of us at a profoundly personal level, a perspective I carry into every therapeutic relationship. As a queer person who has navigated complex systems, policies, and family-building pathways in the U.S., I bring both personal and professional insight to this work. I understand that these experiences are not just logistical; they are deeply emotional, and they deserve thoughtful, informed support. When I'm not in session, you'll find me exploring new destinations, experimenting with recipes in the kitchen, or hosting friends around the table. I also enjoy crafting, getting lost in a good book, and keeping up with my Pilates practice.

I work with clients from a wide variety of backgrounds, who have all come to a shared realization: that their way of life is no longer working for them. Whether they are struggling with addiction or depression or find themselves experiencing relationship difficulties, they all aspire to something new; something more. Together we identify the nature of their particular dissatisfaction, discover how they got there, and develop a more desirable and sustainable reality. I believe that my role is to be a nonjudgmental companion to my clients on their unique journey of self-discovery and profound change. People who seek my help often feel stuck, anxious, depressed, unfilled, or otherwise dissatisfied with life. They are often experiencing relationship difficulties or suffering from the disease of addiction. Together we bring clarity to the particular dilemma they are facing and from there we can work to identify and resolve core issues. I look forward to hearing how I might be of help to you.

As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), my focus is on helping adults ages 18 and older navigate depression, anxiety, OCD, mood disorders, and other mental health concerns. Whether you're looking for relief from persistent symptoms, greater emotional balance, or practical strategies to improve your daily life and relationships, you've come to the right place. Every patient deserves to feel heard, respected, and supported, and that belief shapes everything about the care I provide. Together, we'll take the time to understand what you're experiencing, build a personalized treatment plan, and work toward lasting wellness that fits your life. Care that's compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based isn't just how I work; it's what I believe you deserve from the start. In your first appointment, I'll conduct a thorough psychiatric assessment so we can develop a treatment plan that's truly tailored to you, whether that involves medication management, ongoing support, or a combination of approaches. My style is warm and patient-centered, and I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable being open about what you're going through. There's no judgment here, only a genuine commitment to understanding your goals and helping you move toward them. Becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner was a natural path for me, because I've always been drawn to work that creates real, meaningful change in people's lives. Building authentic therapeutic relationships, seeing patients grow, and walking alongside someone as they move toward their goals is what makes my work so fulfilling. This passion continues to shape how I show up for every person I have the privilege of caring for. Yoga, reading, traveling, and exploring new cities are where I find balance and inspiration. Each keeps me curious, present, and connected to the world around me, qualities I bring with me into every patient relationship.

Finding the right support can be the turning point that changes everything. As a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor, my work centers on helping children, adolescents, adults, and older adults navigate anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and the emotional challenges that can make everyday life feel unmanageable.

Together, we'll work to build the coping strategies and emotional tools you need to feel more grounded, confident, and empowered as you move forward in your healing journey. Creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where you feel genuinely heard and understood is at the heart of everything I do, because meaningful progress begins when you feel safe enough to be yourself. That’s why sessions are always tailored to your unique experiences and goals. Drawing on a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and person-centered techniques, we'll work together to help you better understand your emotions, develop healthier coping strategies, and feel more in control of your life. Whatever you're carrying, my commitment is to meet you exactly where you are and support you with compassion and empowerment every step of the way. My path to becoming a therapist was shaped, in part, by my own lived experience with anxiety and depression. This journey gave me a firsthand understanding of how overwhelming mental health challenges can feel, and how transformative it is to have the right support in your corner. That perspective deepened my empathy and strengthened my passion for helping others navigate similar struggles. It's what drives me to show up for you with insight, genuine care, and a presence that is always open and free of judgment. Outside of the therapy room, I believe that taking care of yourself is an ongoing practice, not a destination. Reading, listening to music, and spending quality time with family and friends all help me stay connected and grounded.
