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.

Are you currently struggling with substance use and/or considering sobriety? Have you had enough? Maybe you have legal issues, mental health concerns, family and financial stressors, or experience shame and guilt regularly. Perhaps you love someone who struggles with substances and feel like your needs get lost in the mix. I have personal experience with this as my spouse is in recovery. Much of my work centers around adults and their families as they navigate substance use and legal involvement, bringing both clinical skill and grounded real‐world experience. My goal is to help you understand yourself or your situation more deeply while you learn to navigate a healthy life.
