So nice to meet you.

I am a marriage and family therapist licensed in Maryland and Washington DC. I am passionate about helping my clients feel their feelings, let go of old ways of functioning, make decisions rooted in their values, and view themselves and the people around them more compassionately.

In our work together, I draw from a wide range of modalities—including acceptance & commitment therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and emotionally focused therapy—to tailor our sessions to your needs. My goal is to always use your strengths and values as our foundation.

I was born and raised on the west coast of Florida. I earned at Bachelors degree at the University of Florida and a Masters degree in Couple & Family Therapy from the University of Maryland. In my free time, you can find me reading, playing guitar, or on hikes with my partner & pup.

I believe strongly in using our values as a guide to create more fulfilling, meaningful lives. Below are the values I bring with me into the therapy room.

 
 

Compassion

Doing the work in therapy is hard! My hope is not only to be a source of compassion for you, but also for you to be able to extend that kindness to yourself and to others in your life.

Growth and Balance

Our goal in therapy is often to grow into calmer and kinder versions of ourselves. For me, growth goes hand in hand with balance: ensuring that we don’t try to overcorrect, but find a middle ground that feels natural and sustainable.

Teamwork

I see our work together as being part of a team—I’m here to coach you through a challenging time, but you will always be the expert in yourself and your relationship.

 

Creativity

Maybe we’re working together because what you’re doing isn’t working for you. I use creativity to tailor our time together to be of most use to you, knowing everyone has individual needs and unique strengths. This is not a “one-size-fits-all” space.

Curiosity

Curiosity and openness to the process is crucial to the success of therapy. Together, we’ll explore what got you to this place, with curiosity and without judgement, knowing that the ways we think and act came about for a reason.

Respect and Awareness

We are all impacted by our context, which includes the systems in which we operate and the multiple identities we hold. I am constantly seeking to understand the areas in which I have privilege and it is my goal to try to understand your experience so we can best address your needs.
