Are you feeling stuck or frustrated? Has a recent transition left you with unexpected and unanswered questions? For some people, it could be related to their family. For others it has to do with work or relationships. In these times we can feel confused, aggravated, or helpless. I'm passionate about working with individuals and couples to help them understand how their experiences and relationships sometimes leave them feeling disappointed, unfulfilled, or lonely. With that understanding, they’re empowered to make changes that break unproductive patterns, reduce conflict, and ultimately find more joy in their lives.

Together you and I will reflect honestly on the challenges you face and work collaboratively to navigate a meaningful path forward. I work with a range of individuals, some of whom are brand new to therapy and others very familiar with the process. Clients who are self-reflective and curious about themselves often are a good fit. Usually my clients are struggling with interpersonal relationships and/or disillusionment with their professional circumstances. Many of my clients are struggling with physical manifestations of stress as well.

Are you navigating the intersection of being queer and neurodivergent in a world that doesn’t seem to have been built for you? Learning to love all the parts of yourself is so much more challenging when you’re surrounded by systems and structures that aren’t affirming or flexible. Many of us in these communities navigate issues such as sensory sensitivity, relationship struggles, chronic dysregulation, and executive dysfunction. As a queer neurodivergent person, I understand the complexities and unique challenges you may face. Compassion is at the center of my approach.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor in private practice in Virginia and D.C, I specialize in helping clients with issues that keep them from feeling and performing at their best. Using an holistic and interpersonal approach allows me to integrate aspects of the whole self. I help clients with anxiety & transition issues that surround relationship conflicts, stress, job, grief and health concerns, etc. We can examine feeling overwhelmed, while looking at past and current patterns and how they may be affecting your life. If you are looking for more meaning and purpose in your life, I am happy to walk that path with you, as well.

I'm so glad you're here. Do you feel stressed, overwhelmed, and ready for change? We might be good fit if you want to understand why you feel miserable or anxious despite "doing it all". Maybe you are compassionate to everyone in your life, except YOU. Maybe you have been in talk therapy and you are feeling stuck or ready to try something different. I help my clients move beyond talk therapy toward healing recurring negative patterns in their life, anxiety, depression, anger, overwhelm, relationship issues, trouble getting new habits to stick, compulsively using external things to feel better (i.e. work, people, alcohol), and more.

I am a psychotherapist licensed in Washington DC and Maryland working with children, adolescents and adults. As a graduate of the Psychoanalytic Studies Program at the Washington Baltimore Center for Psychoanalysis, my approach is psychoanalytically oriented and psychodynamic. I believe that developing a narrative of our experience leads to personal growth and a more fulfilled life. We heal by telling our stories through words, play or symbols, in the context of a caring relationship.

I love helping lawyers and other stressed out and exhausted human beings heal, grow, and thrive by reconnecting to themselves and the people they love. As a former BigLaw and in-house lawyer, I know how the overwhelming stress and demands of our profession can take a toll on both us and our relationships. I work with individuals and couples to tame that stress and build lives and relationships full of meaning, peace, and joy.

There are many reasons why people make the choice to seek out therapy. Sometimes that reason isn't obvious and you might just feel "off", or maybe you've recognized patterns in your life that you'd like to interrupt but aren't quite sure how. Whatever your reason is, it is valid and important, and I would be honored to work through it with you. My experience thus far has centered around helping adolescents and adults navigate eating disorders, trauma, depression, anxiety, body image distress, relationship issues, healthy masculinity development, and emotion regulation, in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
