I work with adults who want to better manage anxiety, navigate challenging emotions, and improve patterns in relationships. I also support clients experiencing complex personality traits, helping them build self-awareness, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness in a practical, skills-based way. Many of the clients I connect best with are motivated for change and willing to engage actively in the work of therapy.

​

My approach is grounded in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Sessions are conversational and collaborative, while also educational and direct. I help clients understand why their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors show up the way they do, and together we build concrete skills for coping, communication, and self-regulation. I bring a warm, supportive presence paired with a skills-focused, insight-oriented style — and I have a soft spot for neuroscience explanations that make the “why” behind emotional patterns feel clear and empowering.

​

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Counseling and am licensed in Maryland and Virginia. I am a Certified DBT therapist and provide telehealth-only services. My goal in therapy is to help adults feel more in control of their emotions, more confident in their relationships, and better equipped to handle life’s challenges with clarity and skill.
