You want better than "fine". Even though you are (sometimes just barely) keeping your head above water, you hope there is a bigger, brighter life for you, maybe just out of sight. It's exhausting and dispiriting to feel stuck, going around in circles. You know you are ready for something to shift, to gain some real traction for lasting change and you need some help to get there. I'd love to help. Find more clarity & ease in your mind, more trust in your body, and learn to befriend all parts of yourself, especially the parts that have been challenging and that you'd usually prefer to just ditch. Get to way better than "fine".

I take an integrative approach to my work that cultivates gentleness, acceptance, and compassion towards ourselves and others. I provide a safe space for you to process emotions and experiences, self-reflect without judgment, and explore ambivalence to change. My style is sincere, authentic, and direct when needed, placing an emphasis on the importance of self-awareness and how one’s thoughts can impact feelings and behaviors. I view my role in the therapeutic process less as the “expert” in the room and more as a collaborator helping clients move towards insight, authenticity, and lasting change.

Lanham, MD 20706
I could say that I specialize in cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, and existential therapies, but all in all it boils down to what needs to be added in one's life and what needs to be removed.
There's a joke that goes like this: a client was 10 minutes late for a session. When she arrived, she profusely apologized for being late. Maintaining poise, the therapist responded, "No problem. You're only late for your first session." Oftentimes I see clients who probably should have come in 2 years earlier than they did. During that time, they slog it though days and nights where getting out of bed is an achievement. My view is if you're already in pain, it's time to cash it in and get something for it. I've been there myself and have benefitted from the techniques that you and I will do together.

I approach counseling from a multicultural lens and use elements from CBT, DBT, narrative, humanistic, and existential therapies to facilitate meaning-making and self-understanding.
I believe that no person should have to navigate the difficulties of life without the adequate support to facilitate their flourishing. Depression, anxiety, trauma, societal oppression, personal relationships, life transitions, grief, low self-esteem, and so much more can be daunting to manage alone and can get in the way of living the life you want for yourself. Together, we will work on finding what is most valuable to you in life and build skills that will help you work towards that goal.
