I am a licensed mental health clinician serving Washington, DC and Maryland. I am dedicated to helping you become the best version of yourself. My work centers on fostering mental resilience, self-awareness, and self-efficacy. In our sessions, we’ll explore both your challenges and strengths, develop effective coping strategies, and create a personalized path toward growth and fulfillment.
Using a Person-Centered approach, I support clients facing challenges with mood disorders, anxiety, substance abuse, trauma as well as grief and loss. My integrative, eclectic framework, rooted in psychoanalytic principles, empowers individuals to overcome obstacles and thrive in their personal journeys.
I understand that reaching out for support can be a big step. My goal is to empower you to navigate life’s ups and downs with clarity and confidence—while cultivating a deeper understanding of yourself and building the future you envision. We’ll focus on exploring your strengths and finding solutions.
