For those exploring gender identity, I understand this journey of self-discovery can feel both exhilarating and vulnerable. Whether you're navigating questions of identity, healing from societal pressures, or simply wanting space to breathe and be seen, our sessions become your judgment-free zone – a place where every facet of your identity is not just accepted, but celebrated. I’m honored to work with transgender, gender-expansive, as well as neurodivergent individuals. My practice is built on years of walking alongside these communities, learning how to nurture growth through truly personalized care.

I seek to empower each client's unique movement towards emotional and physical well-being, mindfulness, wholeness and spiritual awareness. Through encouragement, compassion and mutual respect this co-creative therapeutic process enhances each person's self-esteem, potential and growth. Together we will explore possibilities and new directions, thereby releasing stress, inner conflicts, dis-ease, self-defeating cognitions and dysfunctional relationships. Embracing change leads to feelings of joy, aliveness and at the same time peacefulness and calm.

Have you noticed that your child is struggling with anxiety, or just not acting like themselves? Maybe you have tried everything, and yet their anxiety or behavior just seem to be getting worse...
As a therapist and professional school counselor, I know that every parent wants their child to feel loved, understood, and supported. And with over a decade of experience working in public education, I understand how valuable it is to view each child through the lens of their strengths. My goal is to create a safe and inclusive space where your child can get help, through my direct and genuine approach to counseling.

My current availability is mornings on Thursday, Friday, and Sunday and lunch time on Wednesday. My experience is primarily working with adults with ADHD and/or trauma. I love to help clients with ADHD build systems to help with executive dysfunction challenges and meet them head on. As a person with ADHD myself, I understand the unique challenge of feeling like you're fighting your brain to make things happen. I have also trained in providing EMDR therapy to help reprocess traumatic experiences and negative thoughts. Trauma means different things to different people, but whatever it means to you is valid.

My ideal client is someone who feels overwhelmed and trapped by the pressures of everyday life—whether it’s the demands of work, family obligations, or societal expectations. Often, they carry the weight of past trauma that amplifies these feelings and makes change feel daunting. Despite this, there’s a deep desire for transformation and a longing for a more fulfilling life. They must feel heard and validated as they work through family conflicts and improve their communication skills. They seek practical strategies to cope with their challenges while addressing the impact of their past experiences.

Are you naturally introspective and seeking clarity on how to better understand yourself, your relationships and your inner world? Have you had to deal with unique challenges in your life such as neurodiversity, chronic pain, or being "too sensitive?" As a neurodivergent clinician, I aim to provide a safe space to explore these questions to help you get to a place where you can approach your life from a more confident and stronger sense of self. While I predominantly operate from a client-centered, attachment based approach, I also enjoy implementing IFS, or parts work, psychodynamic therapy, I-CBT for OCD and somatic exercises.

My ideal client is insured by Maryland Medicaid and is anyone seeking help, (adults, adolescents, couples, etc). If you're someone who desires to improve your quality of life, regardless of diagnosis, develop coping skills, and interact more effectively with the world around you, I'd love to work with you. I'd like to show you that it is possible to connect with a provider, to build trust, feel safe, and move forward into personal growth. Without those things, true progress is difficult to achieve.

After someone you love dies the world changes. You may even wonder how you will continue to live on carrying your grief that can be so heavy. Finding space to make sense of complex feelings such as love, regret, anger and sadness can be a difficult task. Grieving can feel so painful and so lonely. It can also feel messy or too quiet. Grief is a deeply personal experience that is also meant to be shared, so that you may find a path forward on your healing journey.

Do you find yourself spending more of your free time than you'd like stuck inside staring at the clock and a teapot like “The Beast” or doom scrolling to Matt Matthew’s chicken banter, ‘cause throat punchin’ a bitch will catch you a charge?

Living in perpetual survival mode is exhausting and immensely difficult. Perhaps you are wondering if you can ever overcome a painful or scary experience, or perhaps you are tired of spinning your wheels and feeling stuck. It's also very common to feel anxious, irritable, or just plain emotionally drained - but not know why. Trauma comes in the form of a wide range of very common human experiences, and I encourage my clients to embrace curiosity and gentleness toward themselves as they progress along their journey of self growth.
