Are you ready to make some changes in your life, but need the right person to get you started, wherever you might be? Taking the first step takes a lot of courage, and I’m committed to helping anyone start making the right changes. No two people are the same, and I believe the most important aspect of therapy is building a therapeutic alliance that enables you to achieve the things you are working towards. Whether that is improved self-esteem, healthier relationships, or finding joy in everyday life. I can support you in exploring and developing goals you create for yourself and break things down into manageable steps.
I specialize in working with adults who experience depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship challenges, identity issues, and anyone struggling to manage day-to-day stressors. I have worked with trauma survivors and those experiencing substance use challenges in the community and in residential programs. I offer a client-centered approach to therapy.
I am licensed in DC and Virginia and have been a practicing therapist for over 15 years. If you’re ready to take the first step, reach out for a free consultation! I accept insurance through The Women's Center and I see any client age 23 or older. Let’s take these next steps together!
