About
Congratulations on taking the first step towards change. We are living in difficult and scary times. I know for many, taking the first step in seeking therapy may seem scary; but we will work together to support you and the changes you are seeking. Whether you are experiencing stress from your everyday life, depression or life transitions, I am here to help you. We will work together to help you find your inner happiness, strength and stability as you navigate the chaos of the world. At the core of my practice, I offer empathy and understanding. I use trauma informed care by using CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and other evidence-based methods to help you build on your strengths, gain insight, and create lasting change. I tailor treatment to your needs so you feel supported, understood, and empowered every step of the way. You don’t have to face this alone - together, you’ll move forward with support and care. I offer a free 15 minute consultation, reach out when you’re ready. Credentials & Experience: With over 20 years of experience, I help adults navigate life's challenges, whether you're in crisis or just need extra support. I'm licensed in MD and DC and ready to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.
