I work with teens and adults that are struggling in their lives to feel like they are "enough". They want to be seen by their families, parents, significant others, bosses, the world as worthy; to feel confident and brave, even when their insecurities may continue to pop up. They want to feel connected to their friends, partners, and children. Many of my clients have survived toxic or abusive relationships, struggled with anxiety and depression, and are continuing to deal with issues related to adoption, a difficult childhood and/or other experiences impacting their ability to feel safe in their relationships.
I've been working with teens and adults for nearly 15 years. I specialize in helping you address the root of your anxiety, depression, and trauma responses. I am trained in somatic and attachment EMDR to help heal early childhood experiences as well as adoption competency and needs specific to people with experience in the foster care system and adoption.
Maybe you're prepping yourself to start therapy for the first time or still trying to find a therapist that you connect with and "gets it". We can have a free 15 minute consultation to make sure you find the therapist who best fits your needs. Call or schedule directly on our website anytime.

Groups
Teen Adoptee Group (8th-10th graders)
STARTING MONDAY APRIL 21, 2025. This is a eight week virtual group for 8th-10th grade students who are also adopted. Adoptees struggle even more with identity as we prepare for next steps and maybe moving away from home. This group provides a space for adoptees to come together and support one another, while also learning more about how adoption and early trauma and impact us throughout the lifetime but especially in young adulthood. New clients are required to complete a one time individual session. Participants from DC, VA, MD, SC, and WV welcome!
