I am devoted to helping all individuals to achieve their life goals while improving their relationships with others. My experience includes providing individual and group therapy with adolescents and families in the Montgomery County school system. I also work with individuals, couples, and families around issues of anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, self-esteem, trauma, and family conflict.

In a culture increasingly tipped toward productivity and distraction, I invite you to let therapy be a place to slow down and be with yourself. This slowing down can feel both like a relief and a challenge! But I believe it’s key to developing a more conscious, compassionate relationship with yourself, which often leads to more authentic relationships with others and a more visceral sense of connection to life. In my experience, a strong, safe, collaborative bond between therapist and client is one of the surest environments for this process to come alive and unfold. It would be my honor to engage in this process with you!

Do you feel “stuck” in repeating patterns? Do you long for a change but can’t seem to make it happen? Or have you recently made a big transition and need help adjusting? Has trauma – either a one-time life event, or an ongoing stressful situation – stopped you from living fully? I help individuals and couples identify goals and the barriers to reaching them. With a collaborative and supportive approach you will find purpose, confidence, and belonging. My approach emphasizes self- determination and collaboration, drawing on evidence-based talk therapies and mind-body approaches like EMDR, mindfulness meditation, and yoga.

Healing is a Practice! Welcome.

When human beings experience trauma or constant stress it is normal for them to feel like their lives are beginning to unravel. Reaching out for support is the first step to healing. I am a therapist who believes that we all possess innate strengths that can lead us to the life we envision. My goal as your therapist is to help build the toolkit that will enable you to get unstuck, conquer the overwhelm, find your voice and move forward toward your vision for a more vibrant future.

It can be hard to change our habits and ways of relating with ourselves and with others even when old patterns are causing significant emotional pain. For real change to take place, something beyond motivation and a commitment to change is often needed. What can make a real difference involves finding a receptive person and an accepting environment that fosters a deeper understanding of one's self. I strive to provide such a receptive and safe environment to my clients with the hope that they feel listened to, understood, and recognized in their desires to get to know themselves, to connect with others and to feel alive in the world

Have you tried therapy before but it didn't really stick? A lot of people think what they're dealing with is anxiety or depression, because that is what it feels like to them. But if you also notice recurring emotional patterns, like feeling rejected, abandoned, not good enough; or behavioral patterns like pouring yourself into work or hobby, avoiding something or someone, or striving for perfection and people pleasing, these could be signs that common therapies for anxiety and depression just aren't going to cut it for you.

Yay you! This is the start of something big! Prioritizing your mental health is a decision to be commended and I am glad you're here. I believe in a unique approach that is tailored to the specific needs of individual clients. As a native Washingtonian, mother of five, and career educator, I have a wide range of experience from which to guide, advise, and assist clients in their personal pursuit of happiness and self-fulfillment. I have a special affinity for women’s issues, young adults establishing independence, empty nesters, and women who are re-establishing personal identity after major (sometimes traumatic) life transitions.

If you were to write a story about your life, what would the title of each chapter be? Our lives are a series of chapters that begin at birth and continue until death, each filled with a mix of experiences and responses to events. These chapters capture our highest achievements and deepest struggles. Imagine writing that story and sharing it with someone who can explore the content with you. What would it be like to write that story, reflect on it, and then re-write it with newfound understanding?

Are you a professional level over thinker? Do you wish you could get out of your head? Are you frustrated that you always want to make a change, but just can't seem to make it happen? At Cope & Calm, we specialize in treating those with big ideas and a never ending list of "what-ifs" that prevent them from moving forward. We will identify what you are doing right, work on building those strengths, and explore the events or relationships that have made those mental road blocks, so that you can cope, calm, and move on to better things (see what I did there). At Cope & Calm, it’s more than therapy; it's about real connection.

Relationships are hard work and can be tough to navigate through. Just like our bodies, our relationships require regular maintenance to keep them running well. When life brings about unexpected challenges, it is best to repair them as soon as possible to prevent further complications in the long run. Oftentimes we can do general maintenance and repairs ourselves. Other times, despite our best efforts, we need someone to look at our relationships, listen to us and help us make the best decisions. I am committed to helping you gain insight into your relationships, resolve conflict and improve your relationship satisfaction.
