I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the District of Columbia, New Jersey and Delaware. I have been providing therapy since 2016. Many of the clients that I see do not know where to start when it comes to their therapeutic journey. They arrive with a full load and I support them with slowly but surely unloading that weight that they have been carrying. I do this with kindness, compassion, humor, and a healthy dose of reality. I take a strength-based and cognitive-behavioral approach when working with clients.

Therapy is a choice that may allow for insight, personal awareness and change. Therapy allows you to increase self-awareness so that you can be accountable for you thoughts, feelings, and actions and learn to avoid triggering situations, unhelpful patterns of behavior and overcome challenges you are facing. I firmly believe in a person's potential for growth by integrating aspects of their past into the present in an effort to heal. As you learn to externalize parts of your self, it is my hope that you become more comfortable with vulnerability and present in your daily life.

Working with families and couples to connect with each other, while helping individuals learn about themselves and helping them feel grounded in their identity is my passion. I work with single parents, teenagers, and children as young as 4 years old. In my work with my clients, I offer positive parenting skill-building to help parents connect more with their children and build greater empathy, trust, and respect. It is really important to me to offer you and your family a safe space to heal and reconnect.
