I believe there is no one "right" way for therapy and healing, so I offer multiple pathways—talking, movement, art-making, and body-based practices, like EMDR and somatic therapies. Working together we will find what works for you.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Washington, DC and Maryland with over 10 years of professional work experience. I have been practicing for 6- years primarily helping clients with stress management, anxiety, coping with addictions, increasing motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I also have experience working with depression and assisting in mood regulation and stabilization. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey.

At MyTherapist DC you will receive a free consultation to provide increased knowledge of therapist, build therapeutic rapport, and enhance a joint understanding of the treatment goals. Together we will explore your strengths to overcome your challenges. Every session begins with a reminder of your treatment goals, weekly update, review of last week's homework, processing current symptoms and learning a new intervention, summary of the session, and new homework. I use current events, research based data, assessments, guided meditation, and etc. to track progress from one week to the next week. My clients have expressed that the most enjoyable aspect of therapy is the connecting of meaningful childhood experience to the current self.

I implement a strengths-based perspective methodology. This means I take a holistic and individualistic approach by working through your personal history, environment, lifestyle, and spirituality. Your past is not indicative of your future. Everyone has a personal story that needs to be heard; therefore, I hope to build a partnership that's rooted in a judgment-free environment.
