I have worked as a therapist in several U.S. states including New York, Michigan, California, and now in the Washington DC Metro Area. I view my work with clients as fighting together for freedom from oppressive situations and narratives. I advocate for social justice, peace, healthy living, and believe in adding fun and humor to life.
I provide structured, evidence-based psychiatric care for adolescents and adults with anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, and complex mental health conditions. I specialize in treating individuals who have had limited response to prior treatment and require a more personalized, clinically guided approach. I also have extensive experience supporting individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in both community and residential settings.
I am passionate about mental health and always finding ways to break stigmas. I love helping my clients tune into their inner wisdom.
I hold space for people to talk, grieve, cry, laugh, express themselves, reflect, learn, and grow.
