If you've been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or are struggling with other difficult-to-manage emotions or life events, you are not alone. Therapy can provide a space to better understand yourself, to navigate relationships with greater intention, to untangle the past from the present, and to work through emotional challenges.

​

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, the effects of trauma, life transitions, grief, relationship challenges, complicated family dynamics, and other interpersonal and emotional concerns. My approach is collaborative, active, and tailored to your unique experiences and goals. Drawing primarily from person-centered, psychodynamic, and systemic perspectives, I help clients to gain insight into longstanding patterns and will also work with you to develop practical ways to create meaningful changes in your life.

​

One of the most important predictors of successful therapy is the relationship between therapist and client. I strive to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported, and aim to build a relationship with you grounded in authenticity, curiosity, and trust. Together, we'll explore what's bringing you to therapy at a pace that feels right for you, with the goal of helping you to feel more connected to yourself and more confident in navigating life's challenges.

​

I have over 18 years of clinical, supervisory, and research experience and have worked in community mental health, nonprofit organizations, inpatient and outpatient behavioral health settings, and a university counseling system. I earned my BA in History from Northwestern University, and my MSW, with a concentration in Mental Health, from the University of Maryland School of Social Work.

 

I am licensed in both Maryland (#18021) and Washington, DC (#LC200003451) and so can see clients located in either of those locations. I am based in Baltimore City.
