I work with individuals navigating identity, intimacy, addiction, and their relationship to sex. Many clients come in feeling disconnected from their bodies, carrying shame, or struggling to find spaces where they feel understood, especially around kink, non-traditional relationships, or sex and substance use.
My practice is inclusive by design. While I bring a lens shaped by queerness, race, and disability, I welcome people of all backgrounds. Together, we focus on unpacking shame, reconnecting with your body, and building a more grounded, honest relationship with yourself.

I’m a trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirming, relational therapist, supporting individuals and couples struggling with trauma, grief, relationships, mood, self esteem, and identity exploration. I specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ clients, those in polyamorous and nontraditional relationships, and clients navigating multiple cultural identities.

I am passionate about serving all women, specifically African American women in the District of Columbia. My approach is to utilize the lens of self-compassion to create an inner world that is more joyful, more accepting, and more conducive to growth and tranquility. I tailor my approach to each client, but my first step is always to inventory your strengths, goals, and dreams. Amplifying client strengths and grounding therapy in client values accelerate your healing. Next, we will explore the patterns and thoughts that align with your highest self and those that do not serve you in this phase of your life.

Pet loss can be just as (if not more) devastating than losing a human family member or friend. The bond you share with your beloved animal may be one of the deepest, most unconditionally loving relationships of your life. Losing that connection can feel like you are untethered and lost.
Unlike with human loss, society often fails to acknowledge the depth of grief that follows the death of a pet. There’s little space given to mourn, and even less support. But pet loss grief is real. It’s profound. It’s scientifically recognized. And it deserves to be taken seriously.

We also discuss the importance of cognitive reframing and nervous system regulation as tools for addressing presenting issues.
Many young adults find themselves feeling anxious, overthinking relationships, or unsure how to navigate dating and life transitions in a way that feels aligned. This can show up as second-guessing decisions, feeling stuck in relationship patterns, or struggling to manage the pressures of school, work, and the future. I work with college students and young professionals—especially women—who want to feel more grounded, confident, and clear in how they move through relationships and life transitions.

I use cognitive-behavioral therapy and exposure and response prevention therapy for clients who experience intrusive thoughts and repetitive compulsive behaviors.
Some of the fears that I help clients manage are: fear of contamination and illness, fear of harming family members and friends, fear of committing crimes, fear of making mistakes and being fired from work, and fear of making moral transgressions.

For 25 years, I have specialized in the cognitive-behavioral ( CBT) treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) as well as a range of anxiety and depressive disorders in late adolescents and adults.
Problem-focused, solution-focused CBT targets the thoughts, emotions, and behavioral responses that maintain anxiety and depressive disorders. In treating OCD, I gently use a combination of exposure and response prevention (ERP) and mindfulness-based tactics drawn from Eastern (Buddhist) philosophy. My approach is warm, compassionate, and highly interactive.

I work with a wide range of clients from a variety of cultural backgrounds in person and remotely. Clients learn to reduce stress and work with their feelings in ways that lead to personal growth and development. Mindfulness, deep breathing body awareness and Jungian dream work are used to reduce anxiety, depression, excessive self-criticism, perfectionism, detachment and emotional flooding. These problematic feelings can lead to growth, greater empathy for self and others as well as greater kindness towards others in their life when worked with creatively in psychotherapy. A more positive and secure sense of self will develop.
