I have extensive experience treating addiction issues, working with the LGBTQIA community and also treat a wide range of issues including anxiety and depression.
Grounded in a person-centered perspective, I deeply believe that each of us is the true expert on ourselves. As such, it is important that I provide a space that nourishes trust, self-compassion and exploration. My approach encompasses a variety of evidenced based interventions and my goal is to help identify and nourish strengths, to reframe situations, thoughts or feelings that have previously caused suffering, and to explore meaning and purpose.

I am committed to racial justice and am LGBTQ+ affirming.
Sometimes in life we can get off track or even experience circumstances beyond our control that just throw us off our course. Finding direction and getting back on track can be difficult, just as difficult as finding a listening ear and someone we can trust and depend on. I'm here to say that it doesn't have to be, and I'm here to begin the journey with you wherever you are in that process.

I am LGBTQ+ and poly-friendly, have experience in anti-trafficking and cross-cultural work and conducted research on discrimination among Arab- and Muslim-Americans in the US.
I believe in our innate power to heal and grow from difficult life experiences. Whether you've experienced a trauma recently or many years ago, these experiences may continue to impact you in the present: physically, emotionally, psychologically and relationally. I offer a gentle, collaborative and affirming space to access and work through past events, however they show up, as well as for self-exploration and personal growth. I pay attention to the ways in which issues of identity (race, class, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, ability, size, etc.) may impact your experience. I am licensed in DC, CT, SC, DE.

I bet you've probably spent a good deal of time sifting through the sea of clinicians listed on this website, and let me tell you, it is a beast. Finding a good therapist is like dating. Who looks smart? Who seems warm and compassionate? Who's attractive? Nobody is perfect, but you don't want to settle either. Perhaps they have great insight and are very pedigreed, but don't seem particularly warm or approachable. Or vice versa. What to do? Shop around until you find a proper match. You are unique. Not every therapist may suit you.

Life can be painful; we often lose sight of ourselves and the things that matter to us most while we try to manage our distress the best we can. As your therapist I will help you find your path to a fulfilling, authentic, and meaningful life, even when faced with the suffering that life undoubtedly brings. I believe therapy should be a safe and affirming space for you to explore the context of your troubles, recognize your strengths, and find a path to healing, connection, and value.

I am trained as an LGBTQIA+ individual and family therapist with specialization in gender dysphoria, PTSD and mood presentations.
Engaging in the therapeutic process can be an incredibly rewarding act of self care. Sometimes we may feel overwhelmed with life’s challenges or be struggling to understand our reactions and emotions. It’s easy to get caught up in the chaos of life’s daily challenges, and not take the time to step back and try to ease the worry. By allowing yourself the time, you can begin to renew a sense of empowerment while also reducing feelings of distress.
