“I strive to be the most genuine version of myself, and I want my clients to feel like they know the real me.”
Therapy with Me
Seeking counseling services can feel scary and overwhelming but I’m here to assure you that you are not alone. I believe that all each of us really needs is a space to be seen, heard, and accepted for who we truly are.
This is the space that I strive to provide for my clients. I am warm, empathetic, and encouraging with a great sense of humor. I believe there are times when humor can bring lightheartedness and relief to an otherwise emotionally burdensome process of self-discovery and healing.
As a therapist, I am very conversational and want all my clients to feel like they are able to take an active role in guiding our time together.
I believe one of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my authenticity.
I strive to be the most genuine version of myself and I want my clients to feel like they know the real me, not a curated version of me, even if only in the limited capacity of the therapeutic relationship.
Authenticity also requires honesty and communication. As your therapist, I will always be your biggest supporter. I will also let you know if I believe there is room for growth and self-reflection.

Training & Education
I received my masters’ degree in Education and Human Development from George Washington University. I completed two clinical internships in the provision of individual and family therapy at the Community Counseling Services Center and subsequently at The Renfrew Center, an intensive treatment center for eating disorders such anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder (BED) and ARFID.
Since graduation, I have mainly worked as a School-Based Mental Health Therapist providing low-barrier access to care for children and families at a K-8 school in Washington, DC. I provide individual, group, and family services as part of my work in the school in addition to supporting prevention and early intervention initiatives at the classroom and campus level. Additionally, I work with children and families who are experiencing a wide range of socioemotional challenges.
The majority of my post-graduation training/continuing education has focused on grief and loss, play therapy techniques, and navigating high-conflict divorce.
