Introduction

Mental health is the core of wellness. If that isn’t cultivated, everything else in life becomes ten times harder. I have been a therapist since 2018 and have broad experience in many areas. I possess excellent communication and rapport-building skills, as well as a strong background in trauma-informed clinical care, research, and advocacy. The most rewarding aspect of being a therapist is the connection I make with clients and the trust they put in me. It is an experience I am both deeply humbled by and truly grateful for. I am licensed to practice in Washington DC and Virginia. If you live in another state and are interested in my services, please reach out and we can schedule a free 15 minute consultation. If you decide you'd like to work together, we can discuss options regarding obtaining licensure in your state. Outside of my professional life, I enjoy spending time with my rescue dog (Tova), doing anything outdoors, trying new food, and cheering on the Green Bay Packers. Fun Fact: I’ve been skydiving and am terrified of heights, so you can imagine how well that went! Treatment Approaches: Trauma Focused, Integrative, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Solution-Focused Therapy, Attachment, Positive Psychology, Compassion Focused
