Great to meet you!

I am a licensed therapist (LCSW) specializing in the treatment of anxiety disorders including (GAD), nerodivergence,couples therapy, depression symptoms, adolescents & trauma.

I provide 100% remote,secure telehealth sessions for individuals, and couples. residing across Washington DC, New York, Nevada, and Connecticut, allowing you to prioritize your mental heath from the complete comfort, privacy, and safety of your own home.

I work with individuals experiencing chronic anxiety, rumination, panic symptoms, emotional overwhelm, burnout, and mood-related challenges. I provide structured support to help clients manage symptoms, improve emotional regulation, and develop effective coping skills.

I also specialize in couples therapy and relationship counseling, supporting partners with communication issues, recurring conflict, trust concerns, emotional disconnection, and attachment-related patterns.

I offer LGBTQ+ affirming therapy and provide a safe, inclusive environment for clients of all identities and relationship structures. My work is collaborative and evidence-based, focused on symptom reduction and relational improvement. I like to consider myself as a "thought partner" that cultivates and provides a "safe space" for individuals, I assist.

My approach to therapy

I have a direct approach to assisting people. I believe in full and effective methods of communication. I also aim to assit all people who i see, with the fullest "positive" regard.

What you can expect from me

They will be able to take away "assignments" that will allow them to gain deeper insight into their behaviors
