Does it look like you've got everything together on the outside, but on the inside you're going through the wringer? Dealing with stress, anxiety, or negative self-talk? Having a tough time at home, in school, or on the playing field? Life can be hell sometimes... but you're not alone, and I'm here to help. I typically work with teens, college students, and young adults who are looking to get more out of life and push through challenges.
In our work together on the journey to better mental health, you'll find a non-judgmental, collaborative approach to whatever is going on. I typically incorporate aspects of CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and psychodynamic theory in my work. I'm also trained in EMDR and Mindful Sport Performance Enhancement (MSPE).
Outside of my work as a psychotherapist, I have worked as an adjunct professor at George Mason University and the University of Maryland School of Social Work. I also coached high school soccer for seven years. Send me an email or give me a call today - I look forward to working with you!

I typically work with clients experiencing anxiety, relationship/family issues, and trauma. It's a person-centered, eclectic approach where our relationship comes before any particular treatment modality. Lots of my clients start feeling better within the first few sessions.
