I offer relational, trauma-informed psychotherapy to adults, couples, and small groups. My approach is warm and tailored to each client; I believe everyone can benefit from support in tending to the more difficult, uncertain, and worry-inducing aspects of their lives. I am currently accepting new individual telehealth clients in Maryland. I have two open spots and accept Cigna insurance. Without insurance, clients pay an out-of-pocket fee of $130/session. I also have limited in-person availability in NYC for individuals and couples. I work with NY clients to submit claims to apply their OON benefits.

From the outside, you appear successful - capable, dependable, even thriving. You’re used to performing under pressure, pushing through, and getting things done. But beneath the surface, you may feel disconnected, unfulfilled, anxious, or uncertain about what’s next. You might be struggling with self-doubt, burnout, or relationship patterns that leave you feeling unseen or misunderstood - all while continuing to hold everything together.

The right therapist can make all of the difference in one's journey to healing. A well matched therapist provides confidential, non-judgmental guidance, comfort and a sense of safety to their clients. I believe that every person holds their own answers to attaining their best life, and therapy is a way of unlocking, processing and experiencing those answers to create positive change. It is a relationship that helps you grow in a comfortable way. I am a licensed clinical social worker, and I have over 15 years of experience empowering adults from diverse backgrounds to make desired changes for a better, richer, more fulfilled life.

I've worked with and loved learning about clients from many different backgrounds and walks of life, as well as helping my clients learn about themselves and their own needs. Many of my clients are neurodivergent or LGBTQ+, and struggle with motivation, communication, and the effort of being human in a stressful and sometimes unfriendly world. Some are goal-focused, while others just need someone to help untangle complex thoughts so they can move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

I offer virtual counseling for young adults wrestling with identity, ​adjusting to personal change, and the weight of expectations in modern life​, complicated relationships with family-of-origin, negotiating the imprint left by parental influence, or adapting to the emotional and practical consequences of illness, disability, or long-standing substance use. Others arrive feeling overwhelmed by the relentless ​s​tress of life—its demands, comparisons, and silent pressures. My approach is collaborative, systemic relationship and process to examine patterns, trace their origins, and consider how they shape you.

You are the one others rely on for strength, insight, and healing. As a therapist, healer, or highly self-aware individual, you hold space for others but may quietly carry your own unresolved trauma, emotional exhaustion, or difficulty fully relaxing. You understand your patterns, yet parts of your nervous system remain in survival. You may struggle to receive support, trust others, or set boundaries without guilt. I specialize in helping healers and helpers resolve trauma at its root, release survival patterns, and finally experience emotional safety, clarity, and peace.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in self-doubt? On the outside, it may look like you’ve got it all together, but inside, you’re battling feelings of overwhelm, sadness, and insecurity. You find it hard to say "no" and often put others' needs ahead of your own, leaving you drained. Perfectionism and people-pleasing keep you in a cycle where setting boundaries feels impossible. You wonder if you’re ever truly enough. In your relationships, you may feel emotionally disconnected, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or longing for deeper intimacy.

I am passionate about helping people feel at home in their own skin and reclaiming what you feel trauma, depression, anxiety, or the challenges of regular old life might have taken from you. The approaches I use do not require the retelling/re-experiencing of trauma to bring transformation. We will work gently, curiously, and creatively with your unique nervous system, highlighting where you feel joy, pleasure, and strength. In this process your natural inner resilience, compassion and wisdom will become more available to support you through whatever life brings. Clients often describe the process as feeling like magic!

Have past experiences made it painful to trust and accept the care you deserve? Have trauma, fear, and doubt prevented you from being the person you hope to be? The pain of feeling deeply misunderstood can be haunting. You are finally ready to feel some relief because, deep down, you know that you have so much more to offer the world. I want you to know that you are allowed to feel important and valuable– to have your authentic self welcomed and cherished. It's time to take a chance on yourself, test the waters, and become the person you want to be.

I have immediate morning availability on Weds and afternoon on Thurs. I specialize in working with adults with ADHD and trauma, helping clients create practical, sustainable systems to manage executive functioning challenges and move forward with greater ease and confidence. As someone who lives with ADHD myself, I understand how exhausting it can feel to constantly push against your own brain to get things done. I am also trained in EMDR therapy, which aids clients in reprocessing traumatic experiences and negative beliefs. Trauma looks different for everyone, and no matter what the experience was, your response to it is valid.

My favorite clients to work with are those impacted by addiction in someone close to them.
