Deep listening to your story is central to my practice. I work with people who are suffering, including those who have had feelings or experiences of “otherness.” I have had several careers and lived in various places, so I am sensitive to the rich diversity of lived experience. I have worked with various types of people, including adolescents, college students, and adults, individually, in couples, and in groups. My approach to therapy is integrative, with elements of psychodynamic, humanistic, and existential orientations.

Change can be scary, but therapy shouldn’t be. Receiving help looks different to everyone. It can appear like self-exploration for some, while for others it looks like support when standing alone seems impossible. No matter what impacts you, therapy can offer a guided exploration of what it means to be human. I am a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor (LGPC) in Washington, D.C. and Maryland, with a B.S. in Psychology from The United States Military Academy at West Point, a M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University, and a pending PhD from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology.

Therapy offers a dedicated time for you to pause, see yourself, and remove some of the old layers of protection that no longer serve. Anxiety, depression, and relationship issues make it hard to see clearly and take the next step. It takes a lot of courage to say “I don’t want to live this way,” and get help to make a change. As your therapist, my goal is to help you create the life that you want to live by identifying areas of growth and building skills to solve the challenges that get in the way. I believe that change is possible and therapy can help.

I feel that it is important to explore each client's reality and make sense of his/her experiences. I work with clients who experience depression and anxiety. My role is to help clients identify triggers to their symptoms, explore their unexpressed feelings that contribute to these symptoms and teach coping skills. Additionally, I also have experience conducting couples and family therapy. I help these clients identify negative communication styles by exploring the interactional cycle and helping them repair this cycle.

If you're looking for a therapist, there's a good chance you feel like "something" in your life isn't working -- perhaps within yourself, a relationship, or your career. Sometimes it's hard to know what that "something" is, and, other times, the feeling may be directly connected to a specific event, relationship, or personality trait. As your therapist, I will work with you at a pace that feels manageable, and together we will reflect on what feels like it's not working and identify possibilities that may bring relief or change.

My approach to therapy is that “no one size fits all,” and to meet you where you are at in a non-judgmental space. I work with adults in individual, group, and couples therapy, with people struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, and other mental health issues detrimental to a fulfilling life. All of my client relationships begin with an opportunity for you to talk and to have someone listen. Whether you are a young professional or recent graduate, or undergoing a transition that finds you stuck at a crossroad, I have the experience to support you as you take the next step.

Many clients I work with are struggling to find comfort and balance due to sudden events or long-standing dissatisfaction with aspects of their life. While I believe every stage of life brings opportunities for growth, times of transition may bring uncertainty, conflict, and loss. I strive to be gentle and empathic, as I encourage clients to go at their own pace, to seek their own truth, and to find their own voice. I provide a warm, non-judgmental, interactive therapy relationship that aims to help people deepen their insight, break unhealthy patterns, and create more satisfying and fulfilling lives.
