Hi there! I provide support to individuals who are carrying the weight of difficult experiences, whether it’s the impact of trauma, the stress of major life changes, the daily challenges of anxiety or depression, strained relationships, or the unique pressures of marginalization and cultural adjustment. Many are seeking a more fulfilling life with greater clarity and balance, and they want a safe space to process their experiences, find grounding, and work toward meaningful growth.

Many of us face everyday challenges and are at time stuck on steps needed in managing them. Sometimes said challenges are related to relationships (romantic, familial, friendships), employment goals and desires, and/or internal struggles. Often with these challenges people feel stuck, don't know how to communicate needs and emotions, and/or feel that people won't understand.

My practice is designed for individuals seeking a level of clinical expertise beyond general therapy. I specialize in PNES, functional neurological disorders, and trauma-related conditions at the intersection of neurology and psychology. Many I work with have pursued prior treatment without resolution and are ready for a more precise, expert-led approach. I also work with high-functioning adults navigating internal strain who seek deeper, more rigorous work. This is a specialized practice designed for individuals seeking a high level of clinical expertise, engagement, and psychological depth.

I am in-network with Blue Cross, Blue Shields, and CareFirst, but I can also provide a superbill for my out-of-network clients.
I support individuals working through the deep and often hidden impacts of trauma—whether rooted in the past or triggered by life’s most vulnerable moments, like fertility struggles, pregnancy, postpartum, or perinatal loss. I also help couples navigating the identity and relational shifts that come with parenting. My work extends to those facing anxiety, depression, and major transitions. You don’t have to stay stuck. Together, we’ll move toward healing, reconnection, and a stronger sense of self.

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.

The best part about being a therapist is guiding clients in understanding what has informed and shaped them to date and how they can design a future that will meet their needs and confront obstacles along the way. I enjoy helping clients to explore ideas previously overlooked and to discover strengths they did not know they possessed. The first and most important task of any therapist is to listen thoroughly to all aspects of a client's presentation, to engage with the client with curiosity and interest, and to elicit from the client all the feelings and thoughts that come to bear in shaping their world.
