Some of my specific clinical interests include processing and healing from religious-based trauma and coming out as LGBTQIA. I am licensed in both Maryland and the District of Columbia.

"You are not a drop in the ocean, you are the entire ocean in a drop." Rumi's words are my view of therapy, connection and growth.  To me, therapy is about discovering resiliency and meeting goals.  My clients make lasting changes in their lives as they gain new understanding of their struggles and expand their vision of what is possible.  I love watching clients of all ages increase happiness in their lives.
