We all have a story and experience to share. I am here to sit with you in yours. I believe in compassion and personal empowerment as the doorway to change and real growth. If you are struggling with expressing emotions, managing behavior, speaking up for yourself, finding personal value, struggles in your relationship or with your confidence, identity, or faith, you do not have to do so alone. I believe in providing you with a safe place to explore, set goals, and to be heard.

Going through life's challenges can be overwhelming and confusing. No one is immune to hardship and struggle. I will work collaboratively with you to create positive change and focus on issues which impair overall functioning and movement forward. Together we will identify what is most distressing and create the coping tools necessary to move toward a healthier, calmer, and more balanced future. I have worked in an acute counseling environment for the past twelve years with children, young teens and adults, and have offered a compassionate focus to my counseling.

I have been working with individuals, couples and groups for over 25 years. I see psychotherapeutic work as a collaborative process in which we thoughtfully consider the past personal history and how that impacts present feelings and behaviors. In a therapeutic environment of safety and compassion, we explore how to use that information to construct healthy relationships and a satisfying life. Recently, I have been working with Animal Assisted Psychotherapy. My 9-pound Shih-Tzu dog, Stella, is certified as a "Pet Partner" and she is in all individual, couples and group sessions assisting in the therapeutic process.

I focus on empowering them as they embark on these journeys with me, so they are equipped to thrive when they are ready to navigate without me.”

Do you have high hopes for your life, but feel there is a part of you that is keeping you stuck? Do you know what you want, but have trouble understanding the blocks or patterns that get in the way? As Carl Jung stated, "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate." Imagine living your life with insight into your unconscious, and alignment with your true-self. No more unwittingly repeating the past, thinking early conditioning/survival techniques are reality. Instead, live from who you truly are and watch life flow easily as you enjoy being with yourself and living.

As a fellow truth seeker and meaning maker, I know firsthand how challenges in life can seem inescapable at times. I also personally understand the layered impact that a history of trauma has on our physical, emotional, and spiritual selves. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about supporting women to learn to connect, cultivate, and honor their deepest sense of self, from the inside out, and what I like to think of as on a soul level. I want to support you to learn how to own all parts of yourself - mindfully, without judgment, and to honor your soul.

Many of us face difficult times in our lives, which may lead us to seek out help from others. I believe that psychotherapy can facilitate gaining a better understanding of ourselves, helping you to become more resilient and improve your sense of self. Those who engage in therapy often find that as a result they are able to live more open, genuine, and fulfilling lives.

I help clients achieve their goals by utilizing research-based interventions within a warm, nonjudgmental, and supportive therapeutic space. In this fast-paced and often high-pressure region in which we live, having a place to talk about the things going on in your life without having to worry about how it might impact others can be a relief within itself. I specialize in working with children (ages 10+), adolescents, and adults.

Do you love your partner yet hate your recurring conflicts? You ask yourself “why” only to come up empty-handed, or blaming your partner. It is not a mystery. A tandem approach to relationship conflict management and resolution is in order: effective communication leading to understanding and conflict management through principled collaborative negotiation. You and your partner are evolving beings. The resulting friction in the form of arguments/fights can be addressed by learning strategies to allow flexibility for growth while strengthening the foundation of your togetherness.

Do you find yourself overwhelmed with stress or worries in your daily life? Is it having an impact on your work, relationships, or how you feel about yourself? Often, we can manage stress on our own, but other times, it's helpful to seek out a therapist for support. In therapy, we can work to improve self-awareness and understand our reactions to triggering events. We can learn specific skills to help with stress and coping, practice new ways to think about situations, find courage to make important decisions, and adjust our behavior in ways that may lead to more positive outcomes.

I am a Resident in Counseling in the state of Virginia with Arlington-based eating disorder nonprofit, Rock Recovery. We offer individual and group therapy across DC, MD and VA, as well as support groups nationwide, to help people find freedom and healing in their relationship with food and their bodies. Our services are offered on a generous sliding scale, because we believe finances should never be a barrier to care. My goal is create a space for clients to feel comfortable and safe, encourage self-exploration to resolve core issues regarding their disordered eating/negative body, and help clients to evolve in their authenticity.
