As you encounter life and its many hurdles, you can be presented with challenging situations, transitions in life, and unforeseen circumstances. If you are struggling with the weight of anxiety, depression, burnout, or traumatic memories, it can be helpful to have the space and a person at your side to walk with you in navigating these challenges. Some of my specific clinical interests include processing and healing from religious-based trauma and coming out as LGBTQIA. I am licensed in both Maryland and the District of Columbia.
In the therapeutic setting, I approach clients from a person-centered and strengths-based perspective. I utilize a collaborative approach with my clients and use principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and somatic-based exercises. My clients have described me as engaging, empathic, warm, and good-humored.
My approach is always to meet clients with unconditional positive regard. I want to ensure that my clients feel empowered and that they are given a safe space to both process and face their challenges in a supported manner. If you are ready to take the next step, I would be honored to walk with you on your path of wellness and healing.

I utilize principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in my practice to work towards the acceptance or validation of our emotions, rather than denying, avoiding or altering them. I also work with my clients on implementing mindfulness strategies, becoming more aware of our thoughts, how our bodies feel, and how we can hold space for ourselves.
