Are you feeling unseen by people you love? Maybe you've completed your to-do list but you’re not sure what YOU really need? You want something different–but you’re stuck? Are you in your 20s, finding your way? Or maybe you're mid-career, juggling all the things? Navigating complex family dynamics? Sometimes we all need support. It’s okay for you to show up messy. My goal in our work together is for you to know that your story and feelings matter. There is deep power in feeling seen. This is the beginning of change, to become new versions of ourselves. I love working with fellow LGBTQ+ folks. Reach out- therapy can help.
Trauma manifests in multiple ways: anxiety; feeling overly responsible; concerns that you are not enough or too much or need to prove yourself. I bring a trauma-informed lens as we explore patterns with curiosity and compassion, drawing from DBT, mindfulness practices, and somatic interventions to nurture your strengths through the process.
Engaging in therapy is a compassionate decision to choose yourself. Together, we will co-create a space for you to explore new ways of being. I am here to support you at every step of your process. I offer free 15 minute consults to see if we're a good fit. I am available to see clients who live in DC and Maryland. I look forward to connecting soon.

I take a relational approach to our work to notice patterns from past experiences that impact your current life. Most of my clients are navigating the world as LGBTQ individuals with complex trauma. I support clients to unpack undeserved shame, grief, and cultivate self-compassion. It would be an honor to get to know you and witness you on your journey.

I appreciate the power of somatic interventions to connect with our bodies' innate wisdom for meaningful transformation. I draw on DBT coping skills and Somatic Experiencing, as well as other trauma-informed evidenced-based interventions.
