As a Certified Nature-Informed therapist, I integrate nature-based therapeutic methods into my work with clients. This evidence-based approach integrates the restorative power of the natural environment with other established treatments. Once we’ve developed rapport in the office, I offer outdoor sessions held walking and/or sitting at parks and on trails in Takoma Park and Rock Creek Park. Pushing beyond traditional confines of a physical counseling office or telehealth, together we can utilize space and time in nature to boost emotional regulation and best help work through anxieties, challenging times, and life transitions.

Often we wait until we have exhausted every measure before we seek professional help. You can start on your journey to healing, reconciliation, peace, and joy today. I believe that in times of adversity and struggle, we have the greatest potential for growth. It is often hard to see clearly how the difficulties we face will lead to positive changes, so instead we lose our way and get stuck in places of frustration, despair, and resentment. The change process is a journey-sometimes long and at times short. It is a process that gives us the opportunity to discover new ways of approaching our circumstances.

Life during parenthood can be beautiful but also extremely challenging. Feeling stressed, anxious, hyper vigilant, angry, worried, sad, burnt out, spread too thin, unsupported, or just not like yourself can add to the already challenging job set before you as a parent, but there is hope. You are not alone in feeling this way, and you do not need to continue feeling this way. I understand that you want to be able to enjoy your parenthood journey, and life, once again, and I will guide you to relief, clarity, and healing through warmth, understanding, and treatment methods designed specifically for parents.

Accepting clients for telehealth. Are you considered the one who has it all together making it difficult to get the support you need? Sometimes life's stressors overwhelm our ability to cope. However, I believe the greatest tools we have are within ourselves! We sometimes just don't know how to access them. My passion for therapy comes from empowering individuals to authentically lead the lives they choose to live, with consideration for cultural values and overall wellness.
