Hello and welcome! Sometimes our lives are stable; however, there are times where we are suddenly confronted with traumatic experiences or losses, such as health problems (dx. of cancer or terminal illnesses), the death of a loved one, separation of the family, loss of work, problems with our children, or academic struggles. These situations can make us feel unsure of our own capacities and emotional strengths which can lead to increased vulnerability, and can cause us to start experiencing high levels of depression and anxiety, or other emotional pain/fears.

Today you or your family are one step closer to a new you, where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. I see therapy (individual, couples and family) as a collaborative effort to figure out what obstacles are getting in the way of you and your family's happiness. We explore past and current behaviors, thoughts, relationships, and make connections between past and current experiences to help create change. We can work together to create a new experience that not only gets you through the storm to the calm, but can help you or your family thrive.

TELETHERAPY For more than 15 years I've worked with adults, couples, families, and adolescents in Illinois, DC, and Maryland. I often use a diverse and ethnically sensitive and relevant approach to treatment. It is my goal to provide a non-judgmental and welcoming space for clients to ultimately experience joy, develop more effective coping strategies, and best understand their life's purpose. I value the therapeutic connection and relationship that includes a non judgmental and empathetic environment.

I am an interactive therapist, interested in helping clients reduce symptoms of distress, usually anxiety or depression and explore with them the roots of their distress. I find whether it is addiction, eating disorders, chronic pain, or straight forward relationship issues, understanding the "why" as well as the "how" to fix it, helps the problem and symptoms subside. Clients that work with me finish therapy with a greater awareness of themselves which helps them avoid difficulties in the future as well as a host of healthy coping strategies to help get through the rough times ahead.

Psychotherapy with me will provide you a safe place to process life’s challenges, work through the impacts of significant life experiences & relationships, grieve from losses & disappointments, learn to untangle the past from the present & future, gain freedom from unhealthy patterns/behaviors, manage upcoming or recent life transitions, identify your strengths/values/goals, & find more pleasure & fulfillment in your life. You will learn to treat yourself with kindness, acceptance, & respect, & discover what changes you want to make to live your best life.

I do particularly well with teenagers and young adults, and I also really enjoy working with professionals who want to create more balance, health, & wellness in their lives.

Relationships can be hard work but they are also rewarding if you're willing to build a strong foundation of commitment and trust. As a couples counselor, my goal is to help you learn better ways to communicate and build emotional connection with your partner as well as assisting you both in identifying and describing your needs and wants in a respectful way. Above all, I’m a systems therapist and I love helping my clients draw the connections between childhood relationships and their current relational challenges.
