My ideal client is someone—child, teen, or adult—who feels overwhelmed by emotions or experiences that have been difficult to manage alone. Many are navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, or patterns that keep them stuck. Some come to therapy after noticing changes in behavior, mood, or relationships; others simply feel “off” and want support making sense of it. Clients often need a safe, steady space where their feelings are validated and their experiences are taken seriously. They may struggle to express what they’re going through, or they may have learned to hide their pain to keep moving forward

La vida es una cadena de transiciones que muchas veces a las personas se nos hace un poco complicado sobrellevar o resolver. Y aunque los cambios nos dan la oportunidad de crecimiento, es muy cierto que estos mismos cambios nos traen mucha angustia y desequilibrio emocional. Yo puedo ayudarte a descubrir y desarrollar las habilidades necesarias para que puedas mantenerte enfocado(a) en lo que es la prioridad para ti y para todos aquellos que te rodean durante estos procesos naturales de transición.

I work with children and teens and their families. I address issues including problematical attachment with parents and/or caregivers, negative self-image, trauma, depression, anxiety, anger, oppositionality, poor communication and social skills, acting out behaviors, sibling problems, and difficulties in school. As a therapist, I establish a safe "container" in which to work with children and parents together in order to strengthen a child's positive sense of self, reinforce the family system and bonds of attachment, and promote behavioral and emotional regulation. I work with teachers and school administrators to help children learn and thrive in school

Hi prospective client, let’s figure out if this is a good fit. I work with clients who need support, a clearer understanding of themselves and their environment, and are ready for change. Clients struggling with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, PTSD, grief, schizophrenia, bipolar, and personality disorders, as well as relationships, career support, aging, and other life issues are great candidates for therapy with me. I see individual clients of any age, families, and couples (however if under the age of 15, parent/caregiver collaboration is required). I offer a kind, supportive approach, with plenty structure and self-empowerment.

The journey toward healing begins with a safe space to be truly heard. I provide compassionate, individualized therapy for children, adolescents, and families navigating social, emotional, and behavioral challenges. Many clients face life transitions such as relocation, adoption, identity exploration, body image concerns, or loss, which can contribute to anxiety or depression. Using a trauma-informed, solution-focused approach, I help clients build coping skills, resilience, and insight. My goal is to create a nurturing, collaborative environment where clients feel empowered to grow and create meaningful change.

We believe your experiences deserve to be met with compassion, skill, and respect. Our care is grounded in safety, dignity, and trust, creating a space where you are not rushed, judged, or reduced to a diagnosis, but supported as a whole person with a meaningful and valid story.

Since childhood, I've had a strong desire to help people. That desire grew to helping people identify what they need to create a fulfilling and enriching life through self discovery and acceptance. As a licensed therapist in Maryland and D.C., certified infant and early childhood mental health provider for over 11 years, I understand that in creating the life you want, sometimes, healing and restoration must take place. Helping people acknowledge and understand the integral parts of themselves through acceptance, self love and security in who they are is the focus of my practice and at the core of the work we will do together.

We all have the ability to grow, heal, and move forward. I have over 20 years of experience providing individual and group therapy, focusing on parent coaching, family systems work, and navigating depression and anxiety. I have sat across and heard many stories of loss and courage with an open heart - let's work together to explore yours.
