I am a Licensed Professional Counselor currently licensed in DC. I am in the process of getting licensed in MD and VA.
My theoretical orientation is rooted in CBT. However, I draw from many modalities to ensure that my services are tailored to each client.
After finding great success with energy psychology during my own therapy journey, I realized my talents and interests aligned well with many of the techniques used in those services. I decided to learn techniques associated with energy psychology and have incorporated them into my practice as well.

Are you constantly putting others before yourself, struggling to say no, or feeling anxious about how people perceive you? You may find yourself exhausted from overextending, yet fearful of setting boundaries. Deep down, you want to feel confident in your decisions, trust yourself, and stop seeking external validation. You want to break free from the cycle of people-pleasing, reduce your anxiety, and cultivate self-worth that isn’t tied to how much you do for others.
