Accepting therapy clients in MD, DC, and VA. I offer EMDR, trauma-informed, relational therapy with a focus on complex trauma and eating disorders. I integrate DBT skills to support emotion regulation, mindfulness, and healthy relationships. My approach is compassionate, inclusive, and grounded in social justice. Areas of Concentration: -Complex trauma (including childhood abuse, sexual trauma, and intimate partner violence) -Eating disorders -Military mental health and support for veterans/their families -Young adults navigating life transitions -Athlete mental health and performance concerns
I tailor my therapeutic approach to each client's individual needs. I am an EMDR trained clinician and often use this modality to treat clients who have experienced trauma. I also offer talk therapy, often using components of DBT to help clients improve coping & mindfulness skills, distress tolerance, and interpersonal relationships.
If you are a client looking to connect with a therapist who uses a relational approach and practices from a social-justice and decolonized lens, please reach out today to get started on your therapy journey!

I use a relational approach, and often use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in my practice. Once establishing treatment goals, we will collaboratively identify the most effective ways to help you make progress. With EMDR, we can identify specific protocols that tailor to your needs and experience, and explore other modalities that may also be beneficial to overall improvement.
