TPBHN is in-network with MultiPlan, Aetna, Carelon, Quest, CareFirst/Anthem/BlueCross BlueShield, CIGNA/ EverNorth, and United Healthcare health plans (except CareFirst/Anthem/BlueCross BlueShield Medicaid, Medicare plans and/or Employee Assistance Program (EAP) programs.
I work with individuals navigating chronic illness who may be struggling with grief, isolation, shame, loss of identity, changes in relationships, and the emotional impact of limitations that feel outside of their control. Whether you are newly diagnosed or have been managing a condition for many years, therapy can provide a space to process the challenges that come with adapting to ongoing changes and uncertainty. Together, we work toward building practical coping strategies, increasing emotional resilience, improving communication and boundaries, and creating a life that feels meaningful despite ongoing challenges.

I currently have daytime and evening telehealth openings for adults and older teens (16+) in Maryland and D.C. You’re capable and motivated, but still feel stuck—your mind won’t shut off, focus is harder than it should be, relationships feel strained, or alcohol/cannabis use has become more costly than helpful. You may be dealing with anxiety, burnout, ADHD, divorce, or major life transitions. I work with men, women, and older teens, with particular focus on men and young men who are often slower to ask for help. Therapy can help you feel calmer, clearer, more connected, and less overwhelmed.

For over eight years I’ve had the honor of walking alongside individuals and families as they navigate some of life’s most difficult and meaningful transitions. My background is rooted in social work, but my passion lies in helping people feel seen, supported, and empowered—especially when dealing with systems that can feel overwhelming or impersonal. My work has taken me across a wide range of settings, including child welfare, healthcare, education, the criminal justice system, and elder care. In each space, I’ve focused on helping clients make sense of their experiences, advocate for themselves and access the support they deserve

My goal is to care for the whole person by teaching the individual coping skills to handle stressors caused by medically, mentally, or spiritually challenged life. Are your health issues or that of a loved one weighing you down and interfering with your relationships? You can have PEACE of mind and JOY even amid these challenges. Working as a Nurse/Midwife was fulfilling. Currently, applying psychotherapy to the nurse/midwife experience is impressive, and working with a Doctor of Professional Counseling (DPC) degree is like icing on the cake. I love what I do. I make well-informed decisions about caring for my clients.

Many of my clients are women who have spent years being the strong one for everyone else and are now feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected from themselves. They may be navigating life transitions such as motherhood, relationship challenges, career stress, or questions about identity and purpose. I also work with couples who feel stuck in repeating conflicts or struggling to reconnect emotionally. In our work together, we identify the patterns that keep people feeling stuck and develop practical tools that help individuals and couples move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and stronger relationships.

Hi, I’m a licensed clinical professional counselor with over 20 years of experience in mental health and education. While I began my career working with children and adolescents, I’ve spent the last decade helping high-achieving adults navigate anxiety, ADHD, life transitions, and workplace challenges. I specialize in supporting professionals who are juggling a lot and still wondering if it’s them (hint: it’s not)—by helping them feel more confident, grounded, and clear about their next steps.

I am in network with Aetna, Cigna, and Optum plans through the Alma platform.
Do you feel stressed, overwhelmed, and stuck in your own head? Do you struggle with feelings of not being enough, feeling lost, or just going through the motions of daily life? Many of us go through our days feeling numb and disconnected or struggle with anxious and low moods. Unfortunately, in these overly busy and stress filled times, the loss of joy and vitality is all too common. When things are hectic and we are just trying to get through the day, it is easy to lose sight of our true values and our lives can veer off course, leaving us feeling empty and lost.

I believe that it is impossible and unhelpful to keep politics out of the therapy room. The personal continues to be political and it has become increasingly clear to more people how politics directly impact mental health. While individual therapy is exactly that, we also live within larger systems that shape how we feel. When these systems are in a state of chaos and instability, feelings of helplessness, anxiety, exhaustion, anger, and guilt are all normal responses.

I'm a blind, loving, funny, and sincere person. I'm imperfect and have learned to be (mostly) okay with it. Growing up with a degenerative eye disease left me with a weight on my chest of fighting what my body was doing and trying to convince everyone I was fine, when I wasn't. I think we're all trying to hide ourselves from ourselves and from others and it is complete nonsense. Every part of you is welcome, even the parts you hate about yourself or that others find difficult. Often the parts of us we fight against are there for a very good reason. Once we show those parts love and respect we can start to be okay.
