Washington, DC 20036
You don’t have to carry everything on your own. I work with young adults and adults navigating anxiety, overthinking, relationship stress, and life transitions that feel harder than expected. If you’ve been pushing through, second-guessing yourself, or feeling off but can’t quite name why, therapy can help you better understand what’s coming up and how to move through it. I’m a Licensed Graduate Social Worker (LGSW) in D.C. Clients often describe me as approachable and easy to talk to. I currently have availability for new clients and offer flexible scheduling.

On the outside, you are capable, responsible, and high-functioning. On the inside, you might feel anxious, self-critical, or stuck — unsure how to quiet your mind or move forward. Maybe your thoughts rarely slow down. You second-guess yourself, anticipate the worst, or feel constant pressure to get it “right.” If you’ve experienced trauma, painful memories or negative beliefs about yourself or others may still shape how safe, confident, or in control you feel. You’ve learned to push through, but it’s exhausting. Psychotherapy offers another way.

I accept fee-for-service Medicare and Medicaid as well as private insurance in MD and DC.
My approach to therapy uses conversation, curiosity, and humor to help clients regain a sense of control of their sensations, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors under stress. I believe that clients have the power to feel safer in their bodies relative to others and their environments by observing their perceptions, reinterpreting them, and accepting what they can and cannot control about them. I also believe that history, culture, and hierarchies of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, spirituality, class, ability, and neurodiversity have a role in influencing such perceptions and how they can be reinterpreted.

You may feel desperate, alone, and misunderstood. You feel like you are floating in the bottom of a lake and cannot see the light above you. Everyday, you feel like you are just going through the motions. If this describes you, then I may be the therapist for you. In my ten years of experience, I have helped people like you reach their potential and achieve the recovery that they needed. There is no set system or quick fix as others may promise, but I will walk down the road with you. My online practice provides care anywhere you are, in the comfort of your own environment.

Many adults find themselves feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, relationship challenges, or major life transitions. They may feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve them, struggle with emotional distress, or have difficulty balancing personal and professional responsibilities. I provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, gain insight into their challenges, develop healthy coping skills, and build confidence as they move toward greater emotional wellness and personal growth.

Clinically, I have experience providing couples and individual psychotherapy. Much of my clinical experience has been with LGBTQIA+ clients, people of color, couples, adolescents, and young adults navigating complex intersections of identity, relationships, and systemic stressors. I bring an affirming, sex-positive stance toward diverse sexual orientations, gender identities, and relationship structures, and I aim to meet clients with curiosity, respect, and cultural humility.

I embrace the idea of being able to help someone in need through therapy. I like the ability to be flexible with my time while focusing on the patient's needs. I like giving homework. :) It helps to continue working on the focus of treatment outside sessions. Identifying treatment goals early also helps to guide the therapeutic interaction; we can focus on what the patient hopes to accomplish in therapy.

Specializing in complex trauma (CPTSD) and mood + personality disorders, specifically borderline and BPD, I work with individuals aged 15+ and couples. I am an effective, educational, honest and unmasked clinical social worker. I am equally warm, kind, empathetic and non judgmental.
While a diagnosis offers a framework to understand you, I take a trauma resolution + interpersonal neurobiology approach that focuses on you and your goals for change.
I am flexible in structure but guided in change. Therapy is a collaborative experience and the goal is you learning enough to be the same expert I am, just over yourself.
