My ideal clients are adults navigating stress, depression, anxiety, academic/professional concerns, ADHD, life transitions, and cultural or relationship challenges. They may feel overwhelmed by academic or career pressures, struggle with focus, or experience conflict with family or significant others. Many are seeking to improve their coping skills, manage emotions, better understand themselves, and build healthier relationships. They want practical tools and genuine support to gain clarity, build confidence, and make positive changes in their lives.
I work with graduate students and professionals dealing with stress, anxiety, ADHD, and identity concerns. In addition to individual counseling, I provide couples therapy to help partners improve communication and deepen connection. I also specialize in conducting comprehensive ADHD and Autism full battery assessments in the DC area.
Reaching out for support takes courage, especially when life feels overwhelming or uncertain. I strive to create a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel truly understood. If you’re ready to take the next step toward greater clarity, resilience, and self-understanding, I welcome you to connect and begin your journey of growth with me
