Life can feel exhausting when you’re carrying anxiety, sadness, self-doubt, relationship struggles, or the pressure of trying to hold everything together. Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or unsure of how to move forward. Others simply know that something needs to change, but they’re not sure where to begin. We specifically work with adolescents, men, members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community, adoptive and foster parents, clinicians, and healthcare workers. We understand that our identities, relationships, and life experiences shape how we move through the world.

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.

Most of the people I work with come to me after trying multiple approaches that haven’t worked—and they’re frustrated that nothing has led to real change. They may be dealing with ADHD, autism, anxiety, challenging behavior, or burnout, along with difficulties with focus, motivation, and emotional regulation. Some are parents seeking help for their child, while others are students and adults managing increasing academic, work, and life demands. With experience across clinical and school settings, I help them move forward by providing clear direction, practical strategies, and a structured path toward meaningful progress.

Making the decision to help a child or teen who is struggling academically, behaviorally, socially and/or emotionally may be the most important decision you make. I see each child/teen as a puzzle. Sometimes the pieces fit together perfectly and other times it is necessary to work really hard to find the right piece to complete the puzzle. I use a variety of techniques - CBT, DBT, CBIT, ERP, and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy . I believe that a child is part of a larger system, including parents, siblings, and schools. I strive to work with all aspects of a child's world.

I've dedicated my life to guiding young people and families on a journey toward emotional wellness. As a child, I was sensitive and often felt misunderstood. I had intense emotions and did not know how to express them appropriately. As I grew up, I learned more about managing my emotions and learned to understand and accept myself. It is my goal to give young people the same tools that have helped me so that they can grow up to be able to manage their emotions and self-regulate, leading to happy and healthy adult lives.

I work with adolescents,adults, and couples using the Family Systems approach by considering individual relationships between family members in the context of the whole.

This collaboration of information from both the past and present is important in helping each person realize that he/she contributes to the way his/her life functions. It is my goal to help individuals recognize the impact of their unique roles in the family so that they may improve the quality of their interpersonal relationships.

Sometimes anxiety and emotional pain can’t simply be talked away. You may understand where your anxiety comes from, know what you should do, and still find yourself caught in the same patterns, reactions, or feelings. Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy offers a way to gently and go beneath the surface and get to the heart of the problem. Rather than viewing anxiety, fear, self-criticism, or other difficult emotions as something to eliminate, we become curious about the parts of you carrying these experiences and the roles they may have developed to protect you and work together to free these parts of the pain they carry.
