My website

I am licensed in the District of Columbia and Virginia. I work with individuals navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, identity exploration, life transitions, and the weight of everyday stress. These challenges can leave you feeling disconnected, uncertain, or stuck. Therapy can help you reclaim your sense of direction and empower you to move forward with confidence.

I see therapy as a journey we take together through the muddy, heavy parts and into clarity, healing, and growth. Therapy is a space where we can step into the deeper parts of your story together. With compassion and challenge, we can help you connect past and present, untangle what feels overwhelming, and build tools to move forward with strength and ease.

Therapy is not about fixing you because you are not broken. It’s about uncovering your resilience, reconnecting with your inner wisdom, and finding new ways forward. Wherever you are in your journey, I’ll meet you there, and we’ll take the next steps together. Where connection builds, light shines, and restoration begins.
