As a therapist, I aim to create an environment that feels both welcoming and safe to anyone who enters. I most often work with individuals struggling from anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, identity, and life transitions and strive to help individuals identify their strengths, utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and mindfulness-based approaches, to support the therapeutic process. I believe in the importance of meeting someone where they are and I aim to empower clients by teaching skills that help them to manage obstacles that interfere with quality of life and wellbeing.
I have experience in conducting individual, couples and group therapy with clients from diverse backgrounds including: military service members, seniors, young adults, members of the LGBTQ community, and individuals involved in the criminal justice system in the DMV area. My interests include sex therapy, creative therapy, and psychedelic-assisted therapy.
The therapeutic process is not a one-size fits all experience. My role is to support you and if you feel called to work with me, it would be my honor to work with you
