Are you navigating a significant transition in your life and feeling stuck? Perhaps you're feeling overwhelmed or lost, seeking guidance through life's twists and turns. I work with clients facing life transitions, LGBTQIA+ issues, anxiety, and depression. While I support people throughout the lifespan, I’m particularly passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ adolescents and emerging adults, as well as older adults, helping them manage unique challenges and find fulfillment at any stage of life.

I offer compassionate counseling services for children, teens, and young adults. I specialize in working alongside neurodivergent clients as well as those of us who are highly sensitive. We are all in this together and I see our work together as collaborative, safe, and affirming.
Our clients are folks who are looking to build the best versions of themselves, their relationships, and their lives. They take an active role in treatment and work both in and out of session on their goals. They are seeking a safe place to build a relationship so they have a therapist who is working hard with them.
I’m affirming of all genders, sexualities, and relationship structures. My approach is collaborative and flexible. We’ll work together to help you articulate your needs and craft a plan for meeting them. I’ll provide practical tools for immediate relief and help you gain insight to support lasting change.
Many of my clients have discovered that traditional modalities like CBT fall short when it comes to their need for deep healing. They seek a more holistic approach that embraces the body as an integral part of the healing process. Together, we explore their experiences through trauma-informed, somatic methods, enabling them to restore balance, safety, and a sense of wholeness. It is a privilege to guide them as they rediscover their authentic selves and nurture their overall well-being.
Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

It may seem that the world is throwing you more than you can practically or emotionally handle. I provide therapy individuals and couples who may be feeling overwhelmed, uncertain that they are on the right track, or concerned with how others perceive them. I have often worked with people who are distrusting of their gut, or feel like they don't fit in.
Perfectionism, people-pleasing, masking, and over-thinking can hold you back from feeling your best. I believe that genuine compassion for oneself is the foundation of an empowered life. I work with clients who struggle with these areas. Most have a complicated past, neurodivergence, or anxiety that is holding them back. Together we can work through these obstacles so you can learn skills to help you genuinely enjoy life, feel proud of yourself, and bring yourself more fully into this world.
You’ve been staring at your to-do list for half an hour and still haven’t made a bit of progress. You’re not sure when everything became so complicated. Even the things you used to enjoy have turned into overwhelming obstacles. You see the people around you being productive, socializing, and making progress in their lives. Meanwhile, you feel stuck in place, like the world is passing you by.
Life obstacles may be manageable bumps for some young people. But other children and young adults can feel like they have large mountains to climb. Our clinicians guide young people on the path to healthy thinking and behavior so they may grow into confident, independent adults. Let our team of clinicians support your child. Together, through psychoeducational testing and therapy services, we can help your child reach their full potential.
We specialize in working with veterans and first responders who are going through difficult times in their lives and need to regain their sense of balance. Whether it's transitioning into the civilian world, healing from their professional experiences, or moving on from unhealthy dynamics, we work with people who want to get their lives in better shape and strengthen their personal relationships.

You may be feeling restlessness, depressed or anxious; wishing for something—yet not knowing what that “something” is or how to get it. You might be exhausted and wondering what life is truly about. Counseling and coaching will target and prioritize the individual factors keeping you stuck. I look forward to working together to help you recognize your strengths and resources to cope and resolve everyday problems and adversity.
My clients tend to be people who are seeking to bring spirituality more to the forefront in their lives. This includes people who are "spiritual but not religious", people of a certain faith, or people who do not have a faith. Anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and difficulties in relationships are all areas where I can offer creative, heart-centered solutions grounded in your values and beliefs.
I work with millennials, genZ, adults, teens (15-55) & adult relationships. I specialize in issues related to low self-esteem, perfectionism, ADHD, HSPs, adulting, burnout, imposter syndrome, communication issues, boundary setting, gender issues, women's issues and relationships. I love working with couples, artists/creatives, LGBTIA+ & neurodivergent folks. My ideal client is curious to dig deep, wants to raise self-awareness, and is ready to sift through the pieces of life's puzzle together
Have you been looking for support in Maryland for teletherapy? Would you like to have someone who intimately understands the queer experience, being gender diverse, as you do your work?

My specialties include motivational interviewing, mindfulness, sleep hygiene, cultural humility, LGBTQ+ affirming care, and consensual non-monogamy/sex-positive awareness. I am also a National Coalition for Sexual Freedom Kink Aware Professional. *** My availability is currently limited, but you are encouraged to contact me to discuss scheduling an intake and/or waitlist placement. ***
Are you afraid that your proclivities towards kink or polyamory/ethical non-monogamy are due to trauma? I would almost certainly disagree. Are you afraid that if you see a therapist for your trauma they'll attribute your kinkiness or poly-ness to that trauma? I won't. Ever. Imagine a life without anxiety, inexplicable anger, deep sadness, or panic attacks. You're feeling like there must be a better way to live; I can help you find it.
My clients are people of all ages from a wide variety of cultural, socioeconomic, faith and gender backgrounds who want to end the control that anxiety and trauma have had in their lives. If you’re looking for concrete tools that work and a supportive environment where you can learn and unlearn, creating a better life for yourself and your loved ones, let’s talk today. Why wait?
Geeks, nerds, hackers, burners, and makers are my specialty! Tired of having a therapist roll their eyes when you talk about gaming? Over it trying to explain that Discord is a chat server and not a state of disharmony? Feeling finished with people who don't understand online friendships are valid social support? You deserve a therapist who gets you in all of your delightful nerdiness and awkwardness. Therapy for geeks from a geek therapist might just be the support you're looking for.
