I typically provide longer-term treatment aimed at more extensive personality change, and my therapeutic approach is fundamentally psychodynamic and emotionally focused.

Additionally, as a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist, I enjoy working with folks who have a loved one experiencing addiction and need support. We might be a good fit if you often feel responsible for the emotions of others around you, or find yourself in people-pleasing cycles that leave you feeling resentful and drained.

Therapy has the potential to be tremendously helpful. I have over 25 years of experience working in the counseling field. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor as well as an NCAC.

I am a licensed therapist practicing in Maryland, DC, and South Carolina. I approach my practice through a lens of anti-oppression, feminist, and queer theory. Recognizing the healing potential of the therapeutic relationship, I emphasize client-centered therapy that values and honors all aspects of my clients' identities. I continuously strive to address my power and privilege, serving as an ally to BIPOC, disabled individuals, sex workers, those living in poverty, fat/larger bodied individuals, immigrants, houseless individuals, the aging population, individuals under the age of 18, and those who are or have been incarcerated.

The therapeutic process is unique to the client. For some it involves deep reflection and questioning old idea's, and for others a problem solving collaboration. For me it is the excitement of the journey you will embark on, and the endless possibilities for growth. Transparency is paramount, and key to the process for both client and therapist. Work is progressive and tailored to the individual. As issues emerge, treatment plans are re-assessed and revised to meet client needs. For trauma I am trained in Trauma focused CBT and Functional Family Systems,for addiction CBT and 12-step and for couples family systems therapy.

Feeling lost and overwhelmed by all the decisions and choices you are faced with daily can be stressful and exhausting, and stress can be magnified by the constant changes everyone experiences. These changes in relationships, your roles in school or workplace, family situations, and demands from others can all make you feel anxious, depressed...helpless. The isolation and loneliness we experienced during the pandemic did not evaporate when the crisis was contained, and now we are forced to cope new stressors. Depression, anxiety, increased substance use have been noted. But help & healing are available .

Relationships are complex. We frequently identify ourselves through our relationship with others. We are parents, children, couples, coworkers, bosses, employees, friends. These relationships continually impact our thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and actions. Perhaps your relationships involve stress, anxiety, sadness, grief, confusion, and unhealthy dynamics.

It is often that when you have difficulties managing your emotions, they have a negative impact on your closest relationships. My goal is to support understanding of where these symptoms originate and how we can work to manage them. I specialize in working with people who have difficulties with their mood, relationships, and having the life they want. I also have expertise in conducting psychological assessment for diagnostic for school accommodations, by assessing for learning disorders and ADHD, as well as for diagnostic clarification and treatment recommendations.

Psychotherapy provides an opportunity for self-exploration essential to our growth. It provides an arena to understand our current struggles and to heal from the hurts and traumas of current and past experiences. I provide a safe space in a relational context that facilitates discussion, expression, and understanding to increase our freedom from depression, anxiety, and other symptoms and generate emotional well-being.
