Change can feel daunting, but therapy should feel safe. I recognize that seeking help and embracing vulnerability look different for everyone, whether it’s a journey of self-discovery or finding strength in moments of isolation. Whatever challenges you face, therapy provides a compassionate and guided exploration. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Washington, D.C. and Maryland, with a B.S. in Psychology from The United States Military Academy and an M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University. Currently, I am also a PhD candidate at The Chicago School.

I have four years of experience working with trauma, couples, relationships, sex, adjustment disorder, anxiety, and depression. I am certified in Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Gottman Couples Therapy. Recently, I obtained a formal certification as a Certified Sex Therapist (CST). My passion is helping my clients navigate relationships.

I use an eclectic therapeutic approach that best fits the needs of my clients. My goal is to ensure my clients receive the best care possible at a pace that feels comfortable. Building rapport before diving into an exploration of emotions and relationships is key with my approach. Together, change looks a lot less scary, and your goals are within reach.
