Meeting clients where they are is my specialty. I have extensive experience and training working with survivors of trauma and clients who are facing grief and loss. I offer space for holistic approaches that clients embrace and utilize beyond therapy, and encourage them to grow and heal.
I work with people who are living with depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizo-affective disorder, adjustment disorder or are going through difficulties and need assistance moving towards a better way of life. I enjoy working with people to manage symptoms, stress and the everyday challenges of dealing with a mental health issue.
In my spare time I enjoy art, creativity, music, dance, acting and writing. I work with crystals, candles, oracle cards, but am also grounded in science. I do a lot of mindfulness.
I am a member of the MAMCD, the Maryland Association of Multicultural Counseling and Development as well as MASERVIC, the Maryland Association of Spiritual, Ethical, Religious Values in Counseling.
I have thirteen years of experience as a mental health therapist and seven in private practice. What I love most about my work is the privilege of being invited into someone else’s journey of healing. I know it takes courage to share your experiences with someone you’ve just met, and I don’t take that lightly. My hope is to create a safe space where we can build trust, get to know each other, and find encouragement as you explore your story and consider where change may be needed.

Most of us never saw healthy communication growing up—and that makes connection feel harder than it should. As your relationship therapist/coach, I help individuals and couples develop relational competence so you can break old patterns, communicate with clarity, and create more secure and nurturing relationships.

- My online days: Monday afternoon, Wednesday morning, Fridays.
Life can be messy, and I specialize in helping mamas and survivors of trauma navigate through complicated and uncharted waters. I believe we are all working to be our best selves, and with support and strategies you will get there - you are not alone, and there is hope.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Silver Spring
Searching for therapists in Silver Spring starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Some therapists focus on anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, life transitions, or work stress. Others may specialize in areas like couples therapy, family therapy, or identity-related concerns. As you compare Silver Spring therapists, look for training, specialties, and approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed therapy, or another approach listed in the therapist’s profile.
Silver Spring has therapists across areas like Downtown Silver Spring, Takoma Park, Wheaton, and nearby communities, but local appointment times may vary. Virtual therapy can expand your options if office location, commute, or scheduling make in-person care harder to fit into your week. Beyond specialty, consider whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that work for you, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their communication style, session structure, and what care with them may feel like before you book.
Therapy in Silver Spring can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, check your benefits, see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
