Great to meet you!

Let’s get right to it! We’ve all been there: pain, grief, trauma, and life transitions that now manifest as depression and anxiety. Guess what? You’ve landed in the right place. Acknowledging that you need support is the first step, so you’re already on the right track. Let me support you in getting back to your best self. Feeling like you don’t know where to start? No problem! Therapy doesn’t have to be rigid, uncomfortable, or daunting. It starts with YOU being open to talking through the things that are keeping you from greatness! I am excited to connect and help you find what you need to navigate challenges in a healthy way.

My approach to therapy

I am licensed in the District of Columbia with seven years of professional work experience helping teens, adults, and couples. I've worked in schools, jails, hospitals, and crisis programs. I’m here to help you navigate stress, depression, anxiety, family, trauma, abuse, motivation, self-esteem, substance use disorders, and confidence—one session at a time.

What you can expect from me

If you’re looking for a down-to-earth therapist who will hold you accountable and listen to you, you’ve found her! I meet people where they are and will tailor our conversations to address your unique needs. Most importantly, I will be compassionate and transparent with you as we navigate the challenges keeping you from being your BEST self.
