While I strive to help others, marriage, couples, families, and mental health treatment, my main focus is to make the client feel important.

My specialty is working with children and families to help navigate through everyday stress and provide therapeutic coping skills that repair gaps in the family unit.
Life can knock you down and keep you there if you let it. I have been a social worker for 18 years, working alongside children and families to preserve wholeness and solidity while providing coping skills, intervention, and case management. I believe for every storm in our life, there is a bright rainbow at the end. Sometimes, we need a nonjudgmental person to lend an ear while discussing our past traumas, hurt, and issues we have endured. Therapy should be focusing on the healing of the past and moving forward to become the best version of ourselves, find our purpose and live it to the fullest.

Working with children helps me understand where adult issues originate; working with adults helps me project where a child's behavior is leading.
I work with individuals and couples, as well as children, in both DC and Chapel Hill. I do best with adults who are educated or reflective: many are scientists, artists, health and business professionals, or psychotherapists, and some are not pursuing conventional achievement.Some see me for family or work problems, some for help dealing with a chronic health issue or a loss, some to change longstanding emotional and interpersonal patterns involving anxiety, anger, or intimacy. We may try quick and simple approaches first, because sometimes they work, but if not we can go more deeply into the individual's unique personal narrative.

I have a special interest in working with children and adults with emotional issues such as anxiety, attachment, trauma, and adjustment issues.
People seek counseling for a myriad of reasons. Regardless of what has led you to this path, I believe that the insights you gain through counseling can result in an increased understanding of yourself. Counseling is a safe space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings and allows you the opportunity to develop and practice new ways of viewing yourself and others. I believe that no one person exists as an isolated individual. The work that occurs in counseling results in changes not only to yourself, but your relationships with others.
