Life in DC can be intense. High expectations, constant pressure, complex relationships, and the feeling that you're supposed to have it together- even when you don't. Many of my clients are high-functioning adults navigating anxiety, chronic stress, dating/relationship challenges, complicated family dynamics, spiritual concerns, and major life transitions. Outwardly things may look "fine," and internally you may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Therapy can be a space to slow down, get honest, and understand your self without judgment or pressure to perform.
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Relationship and Intimacy Coach. I work with individuals struggling with high stress, anxiety, adhd, communication issues, relationship struggles, family of origin patterns, self esteem, and life transitions. I have extensive experience working with diverse populations and complex relational dynamics.
My approach is person-centered, empowering, collaborative, and practical. I'm down-to earth, engaged, and welcome humor when it helps therapy feel approachable and human. Together we will focus on gaining insight and creating meaningful change- helping you build clarity, confidence, and healthier ways of relate to yourself and others.
