As a psychotherapist, my mission is to create a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your inner world, heal from past wounds, and discover new pathways for growth. I believe in the power of connection and self-awareness, and I’m committed to walking alongside you on your journey towards greater well-being, resilience, and personal transformation. Together, we will work to uncover your strengths, navigate life’s challenges, and cultivate a sense of peace and fulfillment that aligns with your authentic self.
I offer a wide range of therapy and counseling services, including individual counseling, couples counseling, family therapy, and more. Our work together will be tailored to meet your unique needs. I am licensed in Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia.
My approach as a therapist is rooted in warmth, empathy, and a genuine belief in your ability to heal and grow. I strive to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and accepted, knowing that healing happens best when we feel truly understood. I bring a blend of compassion and humor to our work, using lightness when appropriate to ease the weight of difficult conversations, while always honoring the seriousness of your journey.
With training and experience in various evidence-based modalities, I tailor my methods to fit your unique needs and goals. Whether you're navigating life transitions, managing stress, or exploring deeper patterns, I aim to provide practical tools, thoughtful insights, and unwavering support. Together, we'll build a partnership that fosters both healing and meaningful growth.
My individual counseling services are designed to help you overcome personal challenges and achieve your goals. As a licensed clinical social worker, I provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, gain insights into your behavior, and develop strategies for positive change.
Couples counseling services can help you and your partner improve communication, resolve conflicts, and build a stronger relationship. Whether you are facing challenges related to intimacy, trust, or other issues, as a licensed therapist, I can help you work through them and achieve greater satisfaction in your relationship.
Family counseling services are designed to help families overcome challenges related to communication, conflict, and other issues. I provide a positive, strengths-based approach to working with families to identify strengths and weaknesses, improve communication and problem-solving skills, and develop a stronger sense of cohesion and support.
My child and adolescent counseling services are designed to help young people overcome a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, and more. In my work with children and teens, I use evidence-based techniques to help them develop coping skills, improve self-esteem, and achieve greater success in school and other areas of life. As I am currently offering counseling services via telehealth, we should discuss whether this will be an approach that is appropriate for your child.
These are some of the themes that I work with clients on whether in individual, couple, or family therapy. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your feelings, gain insights into your behavior, and develop strategies to manage the challenges and growth and move forward.
Life can be busy, and it's not always easy to make it to in-person therapy sessions. I am currently offering teletherapy services exclusively to allow you to connect from the comfort of your own home. I am licensed in Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia.
