Maybe you’ve tried to explain what you’re carrying and couldn’t find the words. Or maybe you know exactly what’s wrong and just need somewhere safe to say it out loud. Wherever you land, you’re welcome here. I became a therapist because I know firsthand what it means to move through life feeling unseen. My goal is simple: to be the consistent, grounding presence that helps you feel safe enough to do real work — and seen enough to believe it’s worth doing.

I'm in-network with major plans through Headway, including Aetna, Quest Behavioral Health, Carelon Behavioral Health, Anthem EAP, Oxford, Oscar, Sentara Community Plan ( Kaiser Permanente of the Mid Atlantic Medicaid), and Cigna.
I work with a variety of concerns, including ADHD, trauma, depression, anxiety, and attachment challenges. I also have several years of experience in foster care, where I supported children and teens through the unique difficulties that come with that system. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for resilience and the many different paths people take toward healing.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who works with adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, and life transitions. Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed or stuck and could use some extra support. My role is to offer a supportive space where you can better understand yourself, build practical skills, and move toward a life that feels a little lighter and more aligned with what matters to you most.

I help clients understand what drives their behaviors and identify changes that have been hard to sustain alone. Together, we uncover patterns that keep them stuck and create lasting shifts. Clients learn that life isn’t black and white—embracing its gray areas brings clarity, flexibility, and healing. They reframe unhelpful thoughts, gain new perspectives, and feel empowered to move beyond self-defeating beliefs.

My ideal client is anyone who is suffering, hurting, desperate, and motivated for change. I have been practicing counseling since 2004 and have worked in pretty much every scenario possible from prescreening in the emergency room during the pandemic (that was fun), to my early days of group and family work in inpatient psychiatric settings. I started providing Telehealth services in the later part of 2020 and have found this platform to be meaningful and powerful for individual therapy, couples counseling, and family therapy. I believe in a wholistic approach to physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual healing.

I believe that life is a process of becoming. With the passing of time, we all change and so our needs and wants within ourselves and within our relationships also change. Are you eager for positive change that improves your relationships with others and allows for new understanding and compassion for yourself? Increased awareness and clarity of unconscious patterns can provide opportunities to heal old wounds and create new paths and shifts towards fulfillment. I encourage prospective clients to give me a call or email to ask questions that might help you determine if my approach is a good fit for your current needs.

My ideal client is someone facing deep-rooted trauma, attachment wounds, or long-standing patterns they’re ready to break. They want to understand themselves at a deeper level, heal their inner child, improve relationships, and create lasting emotional change. Counseling is most effective when it’s designed around their unique needs and family dynamics.

The professionals listed here have self-identified as accepting Kaiser insurance. That does not necessarily mean that they are employed or in-network with Kaiser. It may simply mean that they can work with you, as an out-of-network provider, if your KP plan allows.
