About me

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

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

My can expect and "safe place" during their first session. I aim to provide an environment where clients can be themselves and "come as they" are

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

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.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My ideal client is someone who does not expect therapy to be the "cure all". An ideal client is some one who is able to define therapy for themselves as well as understand the process that it is. This inidividual is more than willing to do the work, ask questions when need be and be excited to work with a "thought partner" in figuring out there lives.
