You're a badass go-getter, motivated by working towards your life's goals, but something feels stuck or slows your progress. Your life is mostly together, but you're dealing with anxiety, low-self esteem, or negative self-talk pretty regularly. Maybe you feel like it's hard to form relationships with others around you. There's a chance social media makes you feel inadequate. Maybe you still feel or notice the effects of a trauma in your past. You've considered talking to someone about these things before, but therapy always seemed drastic or a little too extra. (I promise, it's not!) Email or call if this sounds like you!

Does it feel hard to find a therapist who gets it? I specialize in helping high EQ/IQ individuals move to their next level of thriving. My areas of focus include anxiety, couples counseling, ADHD, OCD, addiction, and trauma. I help you tap into your innate wisdom so that you can create goals and begin to consider your legacy, using your gifts to better your community. Many clients I work with were told they were "too sensitive" as a child. They might struggle now with gifted kid burnout. I can guide you in reconnecting with younger parts of yourself and shift unhelpful core beliefs. I am licensed in Virginia, DC, and Maryland.

My ideal client is an individual who realizes they are navigating a season of change and everything feels heavier than it should. Maybe anxiety shows up as constant overthinking or tight chest that just won’t go away. Maybe you’ve been feeling low, unmotivated, or like you’re just going through the motions. You may be juggling a career, relationships, and caring for others while quietly wondering, “What about me?” Whether you’re adjusting to a new role, grieving an old one, or simply feeling lost in the in-between, you don’t have to do it alone.
