I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in the DMV with over 12 years of experience and I've worked with individuals navigating a wide range of concerns from anxiety and relationship trauma to life transitions and unexpected turns. I’ve earned a Master's in Mental Health Counseling and a Nonprofit Management, and that dual background shapes how I work. I care about outcomes as much as I care about the therapeutic process which means you'll leave sessions with more than just insight. You'll leave with practical methods to apply to your everyday life.
Through a mind, body and soul approach, my clients find solace through self-exploration, defining their values, and aligning their actions towards their values.
First session
The first session is an intake; it's a chance for me to learn more about you, your history, and what's bringing you to therapy. We'll go through some background questions, talk about what you're hoping to work on, and start setting goals for your treatment.
Strengths
I believe healing starts with understanding; understanding yourself, your patterns, the stories you've been carrying, and how they're showing up in your life right now. Therefore, my approach is integrative, which means I draw from multiple evidence-based frameworks depending on what you need: CBT, DBT, ACT, attachment-based work, and trauma-informed care. What that looks like in practice: Sessions that are structured but not rigid, warm but direct, and always focused on helping you move from overwhelmed and reactive to intentional and emotionally aware.
Ideal clients
A lot of my clients come to therapy already doing the work exercising, reading the books, doing all the right things. But something still feels stuck. Their successful on paper but emotionally depleted beneath the surface. Anxiety follows them to work and stress shows up at home. The same patterns keep resurfacing in their relationships and their tired of it. They want more than coping. They want to live with intention. That's usually where I come in.
Treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I help my clients accept their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while pursuing their values and living a meaningful life.
Attachment-based
I help my clients address early attachment relationships between individuals and their caregivers and develop secure and health attachment in their adult relationships.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I help my clients identify and challenge negative thinking patterns and behaviors to improve their emotional state and responses to stressful situations.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I teach my clients skills to manage intense emotions, improve interpersonal relationships, and tolerate distress.
Trauma Informed Care
I consider my clients past trauma to provide appropriate mental health services.
