I work with clients to help them develop the understanding, resilience, and coping skills necessary to live a rich, meaningful life. I have experience helping people with an array of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, anger, OCD, insomnia, relational difficulties, and major life transitions, as well as people whose experience does not fit neatly into categories - helping clients to take a forward-looking approach to the type of life they want to live. I also use my experience working in several private-sector organizations when working with all my clients, but particularly those who find their work lives impacted.
I use a tailored approach to your specific needs and personalty, blending various evidence-based treatments and philosophies, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Responsive Prevention, Stoicism, and acceptance-based therapies. I take an active role in treatment in order to help clients meet their goals for treatment and life.
I understand that it can be daunting to take the leap into treatment, so I am always happy to provide free consultations to answer any questions you may have and ensure I am the right fit for you. I see clients in our Friendship Heights office and virtually throughout the DMV.

I typically work from a Cognitive-Behavioral foundation, but I will flex from and augment this foundation by integrating other evidence-based modalities and techniques to meet the needs of my clients.
