Whether this is your first session or 100th, searching for a new therapist can feel overwhelming or daunting. Picking a person you trust to hear your struggles from a picture and a paragraph is no small thing! Here’s a little bit more about me to help guide your decision. PLEASE NOTE: currently all my evening slots are full. I do apologize, these times go fast! My current available hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 pm EST. My background: I am a licensed clinical psychologist with experience working with clients of diverse backgrounds. I earned my doctorate in 2013 from the University of Virginia and have worked in clinic, hospital, university, and military settings. Previously, I saw clients at and directed a clinic for families and children, and I also have more general experience across age groups and areas of concern. I feel comfortable helping you with stress and anxiety, depression and self-esteem, trauma, motivation, parenting issues, relationship concerns, LGBTQ+ issues, Veteran or military issues, and can provide support for medical difficulties of your own or in those you love. I’m excited to step into an online platform and continue to help clients see their strengths. My practice: I aim to create an environment where you feel understood and supported, but also leave with practical tools that you can use immediately. I strive for transparency and collaboration, and want us to work together to find pathways to your goals. My approach is anchored in sound science and best practices, with plenty of wiggle room to adjust to who you are as a person and what works best for you. No matter what, I believe that there is a better, happier version of your life and I’d be privileged to help you find it.

As a mental health counselor, I am passionate about helping others live happier, healthier, and more authentic lives. Whether this means overcoming a specific challenge, navigating life change, or treating a specific diagnosis—my treatment approach is person-centered, collaborative, and holistic. I believe that we are "masters of our own ship", as they say; and with the power of therapeutic insight, we learn to understand and navigate turbulent emotions as we steer towards healthy change. My specialty is behavioral health with a background in substance abuse, anger management, and recovery. I offer a variety of treatment services, including short term mental health counseling, psychotherapy (long term), substance abuse treatment, and couple's counseling. Our clinical work will be best tailored to your individual needs, with treatment modalities such as: psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), supportive, and interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT). Change is daunting—and taking a step towards improving our wellbeing is no exception. Your courage and willingness to explore yourself is a powerful strength, and I look forward to taking that step with you!

As a therapist, I focus on working with clients going through difficult Life Transitions. As humans beings, we all experience periods in our lives that involve structural changes, and high stakes decision making. At times, these changes and the decisions involved, can make us feel very overwhelmed, and leave us with a sense that we have been thrown off balance. Some examples of life transitions include; the end of a relationship, a change in work dynamics, as well as the transition into adulthood that starts during adolescence. I also specialize in helping women during the difficult transition period of becoming a new mother. I have extensive experience working with anxiety disorders and the grieving process. The uncertainty present during new life stages can often generate stress and anxiety, as well as feelings of disappointment, shame, sadness, and grief. If you are going through a transitional stage in your life, or you are feeling stuck and are concerned about your mental wellbeing, I am here to help. I work with clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. My approach to therapy is collaborative as well as cognitive behavioral. As we work together we will be looking at any road blocks that may be the root causes of your current struggles. These roadblocks can be at a conscious level and you are able to identify them. These roadblocks can also be at an unconscious level, and usually tied to past experiences, uncovering them during therapy will help you see them more clearly. Only when you see something clearly will you then be able to transform it. We will also be implementing practical life changes and actionable solutions for you to bring about the healing and the outcomes that you desire in your life. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life experience takes courage and determination. I am here to support you towards your own journey of transformation. I finished my graduate school studies in Psychology at Columbia University in New York City in 2003. I also completed additional post graduate training in counseling at Cornell University. In 2019, I specialized in Maternal Mental Health and Wellness, and I am certified to treat perinatal mood disorders through Post-Partum Support International. I am here to help you take care of your mental health, and navigate through the psychological challenges that may be blocking you. The goal is for you to move through your current struggles, so you start a new chapter in your life with ease and confidence. You can view my current availability to schedule a session. I look forward to talking to you.
