I am a licensed clinical psychologist dedicated to creating a healing space for adults and families across Maryland, DC, and Virginia. My work centers on helping people navigate stress, overwhelm, and trauma. I am also deeply committed to providing culturally responsive, tailored care to each person I work with. Whether you are facing a difficult season of life or carrying something you have held for a long time, I am here to help.
My approach to therapy is trauma-informed and rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which means our work together will be both practical and deeply personalized. I believe healing is most effective when we understand how our thoughts, feelings, and experiences are connected. I integrate evidence-based strategies with a genuine attentiveness to each client's cultural background, values, and lived experience, because no two people's paths to wellness look the same. My goal is always to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and empowered to do the work that matters most to you, so that together, we can build real, usable skills to move forward.
Your first session is really about us getting to know each other. I want to understand not just what brought you in, but also who you are, your story, your strengths, and what you hope to experience through our work together. I take the therapeutic relationship seriously because research consistently shows that the connection between a client and therapist is the active ingredient for meaningful change. From the very first session, I am intentional about building a foundation of trust, safety, and genuine collaboration, because that is where real healing begins. You can expect to leave feeling heard, respected, and with a clearer sense of what our work together might look like.
