Are you grappling with intense emotions or painful memories, navigating life transitions, or seeking a space for open conversation and self-discovery? Do you experience anxiety, tension, or overwhelm, or wonder why you feel irritable, tearful, or unable to enjoy your usual activities? In times of stress, people often withdraw, avoid, or adopt other unhealthy habits, only to find it makes them feel worse.

I am in-network for any commercial Blue Cross Blue Shield (CareFirst) plan.
The Diathesis-Stress model of psychology suggests, GENETICS load the gun and the ENVIRONMENT pulls the trigger. As human beings, we are all biologically vulnerable to experience mental health disorders, although they may manifest in different ways and to different levels of severity. At the same time we are all exposed to environmental stressors that can interact with our predispositions. With any therapist, it is important to develop SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timely) goals that allow us to gain insight into our vulnerabilities and surroundings, to better understand why we react the way that we do.

My ideal client is someone who has experienced trauma and is seeking a therapist who truly holds space for the depth of their experiences. They may be navigating the lasting effects of abuse, struggling with their identity, or working through challenges related to current policies, sexuality, or sex work. They need a space where they feel safer, affirmed, and met with genuine compassion—where they don’t have to educate their therapist or fear judgment. Their goals might include processing past trauma, building healthier relationships, affirming identity, developing coping skills, or simply feeling more at home in themselves.
