I will serve as a guide as you work through grief, anxiety, depression, difficult life transitions, and challenging relationships. In time, you will learn to turn toward the vulnerable, angry, and fearful parts of yourself so you can feel grounded and calm, even in difficult situations. When working with couples, I take a balanced, non-judgmental approach to make space for each partner’s voice and perspective. Through our work, couples can reconnect, interrupt frustrating and ineffective communication patterns, process grief or infidelity, and learn to turn toward one another with empathy and curiosity.

Life can be tricky. Maybe you’ve encountered a rut. Perhaps you’re doing just fine, except that you’re afraid of the other shoe dropping. This may be your first foray into individual therapy, or you may be a seasoned patient in need of a new therapeutic voice and perspective. Regardless, I am here to listen and help you discover solutions, whether immediate, long-term, or anywhere along the continuum.

Greetings sunshine! As a licensed therapist in Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia, I long to be the support for the most vulnerable, the unheard, and for those who desire change. Despite one's race, economic status, education, and sexuality, we all will or have been presented with situations that appeared to be insurmountable. Once the problem has been identified, we will work to develop attainable goals that change one's personal perspective and provide hope for the future.

I think of therapy as a way of freeing ourselves from the obstacles which prevent us from moving forward in our lives. Frequently these obstacles present themselves to us in the challenges of the outer world--in problems at work, in difficult relationships, in adapting to life changes, or in the sudden impact of a traumatic event. And sometimes what stands in the way of our freedom and happiness lies within us, as negative thought patterns, conflicting or confusing emotions, and unexpressed feelings--all of which can result in depression, anxiety, chronic illness, low self esteem--burdens we often carry alone.

You want to live more fully as yourself while carrying the weight of past pain, identity, and relationships. You may be exploring queerness, intimacy, or belonging while also moving through stress, grief, or shame. At times you long for closeness yet fear rejection, or worry that your needs are too much. You’re ready to feel grounded, trust yourself, and experience relationships that truly nourish you. Your hope goes beyond relief, you want joy, freedom, and deeper connection.

I work with people who long for deeper, more reciprocal relationships, a life that actually fits, and a way of being that doesn’t require so much effort to maintain. You know how to hold it all together. You show up, take care of others, work hard, and keep moving, regardless of what you need. Externally, all looks well, but internally, you feel stuck in patterns that leave you feeling drained, unseen, weighed down by pain, burned out, or always chasing. I specialize in working with high-performers, perfectionists, people pleasers, or anxious attachers who seek greater satisfaction, connection, peace, and balance in their life.

You’re doing your best but something still feels off. Maybe you’re exhausted from trying to keep it all together, or questioning whether your life aligns with who you really are. I often work with adults who are navigating anxiety, burnout, and identity struggles, all while juggling demanding careers and relationships. It can be difficult to cope when you are overwhelmed and anxious. Even when you know the tools, using them can be hard. Therapy gives us space to uncover what’s getting in the way and work through it together.

I'll work to help you better understand your inner experience, to act more effectively, and to treat yourself kindly. I will support you as you build the skills needed to meet current challenges, or as you go about reducing impulsive or avoidant trends. Because turning against oneself after not performing well compounds one's emotional burden, it is important to learn to replace self-condemnation with a self-affirming stance. I can assist you in acquiring the know-how and power to move steadily toward these goals. The reward for making progress internally or behaviorally is greater self-control and an increase in self-esteem.
