Words can be difficult some days, especially when they are locked in our minds. Expressing oneself effectively can be challenging. Thoughts may be unclear, feelings hard to identify, or needs tough to articulate. I believe people possess inner wisdom and the ability to navigate these situations with greater clarity. My role is to guide people with a strengths-based approach. Together, we explore their inner world, develop practical coping strategies, and build their ability to manage psychological entropy. Clients can expect to feel empowered, gain insights, and learn skills for a balanced and fulfilling life.

" Ask me about EMDR, IFS, brainspotting, and we can explore what would work best for you.
If only the image you have perfected projecting were true. Everyone seems to buy it; that you are as calm, confident, and competent as you portray yourself to be. Meanwhile, you walk around feeling like a little girl wearing her mother’s heels. The worst part is always worrying about being “found out” as the fraud that you know yourself to be. It makes it hard to be really emotionally available and honest in your relationships and you always end up feeling so alone. All the success in your professional life just makes you feel like you have that much more to lose when someone really sees what you are desperately trying to hide.

I am results-oriented and believe that healing begins within a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship. My work is grounded in knowing that the past—whether shaped by trauma, regret, or missed opportunities—doesn’t have to hold us back. Instead, it can become the very foundation for growth, and lasting change.
Certified in EMDR, I help individuals process and move through traumatic experiences in a safe, supportive environment. My work also includes helping those caught in cycles of overthinking, doubt, or fear-driven habits—stuck in mental loops, compulsive or ritualistic behaviors they can't stop, no matter how hard they try.

I'm licensed in DC, Virginia, & Massachusetts with specialized trainings in trauma, EMDR, IFS, and brainspotting.
Do you have a sense that something about your childhood is affecting you as an adult? Maybe you can put your finger on exactly what it is, or maybe you are just seeing patterns in your life & relationships that have you wondering if there’s something deeper behind it. Past therapy experiences may have been helpful in some ways, but you seem to keep getting stuck. It feels like anxiety and self-doubt are the ones controlling the direction of your life, not what is true and authentic to you. You’re ready to address these things at the source, so you can finally work with your inner critic and regain control of your life.

Perhaps you are feeling chronically alienated, stuck, unseen, empty, or wrong in some way. Our work will help you to become more present and fulfilled by understanding barriers to emotional intimacy, addressing behavior patterns, and working toward your version of self-acceptance. I have helped individuals and couples to make meaningful progress by creating an environment in which even the most painful or uncomfortable fears, desires, memories, and behaviors can be brought into the light. This alone can bring relief and create possibilities for change. The effort and intentionality you bring to our work will also be essential.

Brain- and body-based therapies, such as Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, and Brainspotting can help.
Our bodies contain our histories- every chapter, line, and verse of every event and relationship in our lives- Caroline Myss.
Challenging life experiences have left you feeling disconnected from your body. You've done everything you can to get on with your life and leave the past behind. Still, you find yourself struggling with thoughts such as, " I'm not good enough", "I'm a failure", or "something is wrong with me". Or, you find yourself stuck in repetitive patterns which you can't seem to break out of. Talk therapy can be helpful, but sometimes it's just not enough.
