Are you feeling overwhelmed by the routine and rhythms of motherhood? Perhaps you’re navigating postpartum anxiety, struggling with mom guilt, or noticing burnout as you juggle the needs of your family with your own. I specialize in supporting women through the perinatal period—fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and early motherhood—so you don’t have to carry these challenges alone.
As a licensed therapist in Maryland, I offer a warm, collaborative space where we can explore what feels heavy and create strategies that help you feel more grounded.

At some point in most of our lives, we will need mental health support, often at times of change or transition. From a wellness perspective, I do not see a client as a diagnosis or as defined by their llness, but rather as an individual with their own story, which has shaped their overall quality of life. I believe in the need for a radical paradigm shift, that healing and recovery are possible and that individuals often need to tell themselves a different story about living with illness, which can easily become a limiting center of their life. I strive to create a caring relationship grounded in humor, warmth and compassion.

I work in DC and throughout Virginia to help clients understand their strengths, achieve a clearer understanding of obstacles that hold them back, and help promote resilience and joy. I respect the individuality of my clients and target problems using cultural sensitivity, coping strategies, and treatments that speak best to each person and their life experiences. I work collaboratively with couples, families, educators, and treatment providers to make recommendations to enhance every client’s personal strengths and goals. Lastly, I write about mental health as both accessible and pragmatic at embolden.world.

Many of the clients I work with are highly capable, thoughtful people who are used to holding a lot of responsibility. They often appear put together on the outside, but internally experience constant pressure to perform, overthinking, difficulty relaxing, and a sense that they are never quite doing enough. Or you want to be understood. You are looking for a space where you don’t have to explain your identity or defend your existence; you just want to heal. Your goal is to feel grounded, authentic, and whole, moving away from "just getting by" and toward a life that empowers you. Let's connect today!

Are you and your partner stuck in patterns you can’t name, disconnected from your emotions, or unsure how to communicate your needs? Perhaps you’re navigating a life transition, grieving a loss, healing from trauma, or struggling with emotional intimacy. My philosophy is rooted in the belief that you already hold the wisdom you need to grow and that healing begins in safe, compassionate relationships. Deep down, you want clarity, connection, and a sense of peace. You’re looking for therapy not because you’re “broken,” but but because you’re ready to deepen self-awareness and build meaningful relationships.

I'm a mental health counselor who works with adults and adolescents, especially people who have a hard time managing their anger. Anger is an emotion many people have never been given permission to really feel, and an emotion many people have not been taught how to feel. My job is to help you make space for it, work through it, and figure out what to do with it when it shows up.
I like to meet people where they are. That means starting from where you actually are — not where you think you should be — and helping you move toward what matters to you.

I believe that we are all wired to connect, change and heal. As a therapist, I work with adults (18+) who want to spark and kindle these innate abilities. Consider reaching out to me if you want help with anxiety, shame, low self-esteem, and/or depression. I aim to heal the root of pain, such as adversity, trauma, grief/loss, and toxic messages from society. I also enjoy working with clients who want help expanding on growth and change and effectively integrating them into existing life and relationships.

I work with adults or teens carrying the weight of past experiences, navigating career, school or life transitions. I support clients who experience mental health struggles or struggling to balance expectations, relationships, and self-care. There may be a need to feel relief, clarity, and a sense of stability; or simply understood, safe, and supported as a whole person.
