Your journey in this life is just as unique as your fingerprints. The mental health services I provide are not one-size fit all. I take the time to learn about your journey and customize your treatment to suit your needs and the goals you chose to meet to make therapy beneficial to you and your journey.  

I work with professionals who find themselves torn between the life they have & the life they want to have. You’ve been playing it safe & doing what’s expected of you, but you’re not quite satisfied. You’re afraid to give your all because you don’t know if you will be able to handle what comes next. The judgment. The pressure. The spotlight. You’ve read lots of self-help books, & tried to DIY the process of change with lackluster results. You’ve tried medication or at least thought about it, but you know it’s just a tool & not a cure-all. You haven’t really had the therapy experience that you needed, but you’re ready to try again. I know that you are doing the best that you can. Even if no one else can see it. Carving out time for yourself can be a challenge when you are always on the go and being pulled in a million directions. Working with me will allow you to leverage my knowledge and expertise as a psychologist so that you can achieve ten times more with less internal conflict, resistance and emotional disturbance. Let's connect and talk more about steering you in the right direction.

Working wit with me, you will be able to make the changes you want in a relatively short amount of time. This is NOT "talk therapy." We do talk, but MOST of the transformation is on the unconscious level. Unlike psychotherapy, which goes on week after week for months or even years, most of my clients find resolution in 3 or 4 90-minute sessions (though some issues, like weight loss, require longer-term follow up). My methods are highly effective and many of my clients are amazed at the positive changes in themselves in such a short time.  

With years of experience doing Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Therapy, EMDR, Mind/Body Work, Energy Therapies, Crisis Intervention, and Couples Therapy, I can often facilitate my clients' recovery faster than with traditional psychotherapy alone. If you want to feel better about yourself, your relationship, or simply find a sense of peace, contact me.  

Are you experiencing difficulty with life adjustments or social connectedness? I am passionate about working with those who are struggling with eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, grief, relational and social difficulties, and members of the LQBTQIA+ community. I believe that the foundation of developing an authentic self is understanding the body's response to life experiences and understanding how it functions under stress. Together, we will create a safe, supportive, and trauma-aware space to begin healing. In settings such as partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient, I have worked with adults and teens experiencing binge eating, purging, anorexia, orthorexia, excessive exercise, OSFED, ARFID, and body image issues. Throughout sessions, I complete evaluations to determine whether you or a loved one requires more intensive/supportive eating disorder treatment. In addition, I complete bariatric evaluations that are required for the surgical process. This service helps determine readiness, address any concerns about underlying eating disorder behavior, provide pre/post therapeutic support, and explore alternatives to surgery. I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to assist patient's needs and use collaborative methodologies to facilitate supportive communication, reconnection, problem solving, and positive decision-making with teens, adults, and families. I hope to hear from you and look forward to jump starting your mental health journey.  

I have a special interest in addressing various challenges, including Trauma and PTSD, Career Counseling, Anxiety, Depression, Self-esteem/Personal Growth, Life Transitions/Adjustment, Relationship Conflict, Multicultural Issues, Religion and Spirituality, Self-harm, Suicidal Ideation, and Bipolar/Mood Disorders. In my therapeutic approach, I incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), having completed the foundational training through the Linehan Institute and contributing to CCG's comprehensive DBT team. My toolkit also includes Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Client-Centered, Solutions Focused, Trauma-Informed, and Psychodynamic modalities, with a willingness to integrate faith and spirituality into sessions upon client request. As a Resident in Counseling in Virginia and a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor (LGPC) in Maryland, my priority is to establish a secure and collaborative environment, drawing on my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Marymount University. Being a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and a member of the American Counseling Association (ACA) and Chi Sigma Iota, I bring a wealth of expertise to my practice. My professional journey includes serving diverse populations at a group practice, where I supported first responders, medical staff, military personnel/veterans, international humanitarian workers, law enforcement, and journalists. I've worked with individuals facing fertility and prepartum/postpartum challenges and implemented social-emotional learning for refugee children in Germany. Beyond my counseling role, I find joy in outdoor activities, travel, culinary exploration, and quality time with my husband.  

Are you an adult or adolescent that is struggling with anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, addiction, mood and personality disorders, relationship issues, trauma, or major life transitions? These are my areas of expertise. Whether you are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, depressed, isolated, burned out, or stuck, I can help you get through the challenges and difficulties you face. My passion is helping my clients find meaning and purpose in their lives by alleviating suffering. My skills, support, and compassion will guide you as you navigate the path of seeking help and making change, no matter how difficult it may seem. Developing a strong therapeutic relationship is essential to achieving positive and lasting outcomes for clients. It is my goal to cultivate our relationship by providing a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where you can feel understood and heard. To find the method that works best for each individual client, I draw from psychodynamic, humanistic, and existential perspectives. Additionally, I incorporate a variety of modalities into my work with clients including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing.
