If you're looking for a calm space for yourself amidst the chaos, and ready to give yourself permission to have that, I may be the therapist for you. We all have our own story. Sometimes, we just need someone to help us sift through it. You have the ability and knowledge to make your own choices and decisions. I just help you get out of your own way to find peace in the chaos. I work with individuals, particularly women and those who are multiracial/mixed-race, who are ready to be free from stress and anxiety around their lives, work or relationships.

I am licensed in MD, VA, and DC.

Therapy should be a place to experience being seen and heard and an opportunity for personal growth. My approach is collaborative and builds on one’s strengths. Areas of focus include major life transitions, anxiety, depression, juggling multiple roles (parenting, caretaker, partner, career), health issues, and navigating the inevitability of change and loss. We will work together on a plan that helps generate greater insight, make changes that are difficult, and allows you to live in way that is more aligned with your values.

Life’s challenges can feel heavy when you’re carrying them alone, particularly if you’ve been taught that asking for help is a sign of weakness. The truth is that seeking support is a valid human need. I provide trauma-informed therapy for high-achieving yet anxious individuals who want to heal childhood trauma and reclaim their power. My work centers on the unique experiences of BIPOC individuals, undocumented folks, and children of immigrants. If you feel disconnected from your body, relationships, or sense of self, I can help you slow down and cultivate a more fulfilling life.

Because no two patients are alike, therapy should be tailored to each patient, rather than trying to treat everyone with the same theoretical approach. I believe that a therapist’s job is to guide the patient as they learn to change the behaviors and thinking styles that may have once been helpful, but are now getting in their way. Most importantly, I believe it is a therapist's job to teach their patients the skills necessary to eventually function independent of their therapist, allowing them to eventually leave therapy instead of being stuck with having weekly sessions for the rest of their lives!

As a therapist, I believe my role is to support a patient’s journey toward greater well-being. The struggles and stressors of everyday life can be overwhelming, and it’s essential for an individual’s well-being to have an empathic environment to process it all. If you're looking for a therapist who is compassionate and offers a genuine connection, I'd be happy to connect with you.

Pain is an unavoidable and a necessary part of life. But suffering -- especially prolonged, "punishing" suffering -- is not. So many people seeking therapy suffer from anxiety, depression, difficulties in relationships, and self-sabotaging behaviors. We use defenses to avoid our emotions. Ironically emotions aren't the SOURCE of pain but in fact are there to HELP us HEAL from the painful losses, hurts and challenges of life. You don't come to therapy to talk about your week. You come for relief from your suffering, for a chance to work through and find meaning in your pain and, just as with a broken bone, heal stronger and better!

When telling your story, what are the parts that you leave out? Is it that you’ve been partnered for years and suspect that, at the heart of your low-grade dissatisfaction, is a yearning to live and love as your authentic self but you don’t know how to broach it with your significant other? Or that you believe that your chronic illness has made sexual intimacy unattainable? How about that you came out later in life and no longer know where or how to belong? Do you wonder if your/your partner('s)(s') neurodivergence contributes to your frustration with how you connect or communicate?
