I currently accept Cigna, Aetna, and Kaiser, Carefirst Bluecross BlueShield and I'm excited to add more insurance providers soon.
My ideal client is someone who longs for change but feels unsure where to begin. They may carry old wounds, feel anxious or stuck, or struggle to care for themselves while caring for others. Deep down, they want to feel whole, confident, and at peace. They come to therapy ready to explore their story, to heal with gentleness, and to find hope again. Together, we create a warm, safe space where they can breathe, grow, and learn to love themselves through every stage of their healing journey.

Accepting New Clients - Sometimes we can move on from our past, but what happens when we can't? I specialize in working with adults who feel stuck in patterns rooted in trauma, early relational experiences or attachment wounds. Using a trauma-informed and culturally-sensitive lens, I integrate an attachment/psychodynamic theory in the work that we do, pulling from a variety of methods. I honor that you know yourself best and what helps one person, may not help another. If anxiety, trauma, or repeated relationship patterns are leaving you overwhelmed or stuck, I can help you build clarity, resilience, and new ways forward.
