Struggling with boundaries, people-pleasing, or emotional overwhelm? Maybe you put others first, avoid conflict, or fall into self-sabotage even though you're highly self-aware. Perhaps it shows up in your relationships or your work, and you're emotionally exhausted and done with just venting. That's where I come in. My approach is active, collaborative, and focused on real change—not just talking. I work with clients to break out of self-sabotaging patterns, set and maintain healthy boundaries, and strengthen emotional regulation and relational awareness using DBT and trauma-based therapies.
I specialize in trauma-informed therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and other evidence-based approaches. I help adults in Towson, Maryland, understand and change longstanding patterns related to trauma, codependency, insecure attachment, and emotional dysregulation, so they can build a life that feels connected and authentic.
You deserve a space where your full story is seen and honored. In our work together, I consider your identity, relationships, health, culture, and personal history, because healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. If you’re ready to shift from surviving to actually living a life you deserve, I’d be honored to walk with you.

Clients often come to me feeling stuck in painful relationship dynamics, emotionally drained from always meeting others' needs, and burnt out from trying to fit into a culture that doesn't fully accept who they are. Whether it's attachment wounds, boundary struggles, or identity stress, I help people create real, lasting change from the inside out.

I am a human, too, and therefore, I know that using just one modality with our vast uniqueness will not work. I work mainly from a Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) perspective, and I bring in a trauma-focused lens that includes internal family systems and somatic therapies, as well as a present-centered focus with a sprinkle of feminism.
