Many people today are facing increased levels of stress, anxiety, and depression. My mission is to empower and uplift individuals as they work toward identifying and reaching their personal goals. With over 10 years of experience providing therapeutic services, I’ve had the privilege of supporting clients as they take meaningful steps toward emotional and mental wellness. During our sessions, we’ll collaborate on a treatment plan tailored to your needs and explore practical strategies for managing life’s challenges.

You have a commitment to being provided services that are consistent with the most current clinical research and standards of professional care.

I specialize in helping individuals break free from repetitive and "stuck" thought patterns that may be hindering their personal growth and well-being. Our minds have a tendency to get caught in loops of negative or unhelpful thoughts, which can create distress and limit our ability to thrive. I believe in empowering individuals to challenge and move beyond these patterns, allowing them to embrace new perspectives.

As a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, my role is to provide tailored, evidence-based care that empowers individuals to overcome mental health challenges and thrive. Specializing in the mental health needs of first responders, young adults, and professionals, I partner with clients who are ready to transform their struggles into strengths, whether you're a firefighter processing trauma and stress, a college student struggling with depression and anxiety, or a professional battling burnout and life transitions. Together, we transform struggles into strengths, fostering resilience and emotional well-being.

I enjoy working with individuals who seek to understand and develop their potential. With warmth and directness, I focus on what concerns you today and work with you to explore your present and past for insight as to how you can thrive. With an interest in the mind/body connection, I hope to offer a fresh approach to therapy that is rooted in the reality of everyday life, yet is emotionally / psychologically /spiritually informed, attuned, and supportive.

I am trained in perinatal mental health, EMDR, Polyvagal Theory, DBT, CBT and utilize somatic therapies whenever I can. I am a yoga teacher and find movement to be a valuable tool.

Are you sad or worried about the future? Struggling in a relationship? Do you feel defeated and hopeless because life keeps challenging you? Are you striving for perfection to feel that you’re good enough? Do you often find it hard to access your authentic self? If any of these or similar feelings resonate with you, therapy can help you understand the underlying reasons for these emotions and shape your life in a way that brings you more joy.

After obtaining my MSW from Howard University in 1991, I devoted the next ten years to conducting play therapy and family interventions at a bilingual elementary school in DC. My therapeutic work with children, adolescents and adult clients is rooted in psychodynamic and family system theories.
