I help children, teens, adults, parents, and families navigate anxiety, ADHD, trauma, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, emotional regulation, and self-esteem concerns. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck in unhealthy patterns, struggling with parenting, or finding it difficult to manage work, school, or relationships, therapy can provide a space to better understand yourself and create meaningful, lasting change. Many of the behaviors and coping strategies that once helped us survive can begin to interfere with the life and relationships we want today.
Together, we'll identify those patterns, explore the experiences that shaped them, and build healthier ways of coping, communicating, and connecting. I specialize in helping individuals strengthen emotional awareness, improve communication, establish healthy boundaries, manage anxiety and ADHD symptoms, heal from trauma, and develop greater confidence.
Whether you're seeking therapy for yourself, your child, your teen, or your family, my goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, understood, and equipped with tools to create lasting change. I offer virtual therapy for clients throughout Maryland and Virginia, making quality mental health care accessible.
