While I enjoy working with a wide variety of clients, I especially enjoy working with: those who’ve never tried therapy before, those who haven’t “clicked” with therapists in the past, people with chronic and/or rare medical conditions, and folks who have felt poorly served by the medical or mental health communities.
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 looking for a therapist who can help you understand your relationships better, grow in your self-awareness, find meaning and fulfillment, and learn to move through difficult times with more ease and mindfulness? To find relief from stress, fear, resentment, anger, sadness, numbness, loneliness, sadness, or other challenges, please reach out for a consultation with me (or any therapist who feels like a good fit). I'm glad you're looking for a therapist; you're already moving toward change
If you're always racing around, chasing perfection, and juggling sky-high expectations, slowing down probably feels like a fantasy. The constant anxiety and pressure can be exhausting. And sure, stepping off the treadmill can seem scary, but slowing down doesn't mean you're falling behind. I’m here to help you find some calm in the chaos and guide you toward navigating life with more ease, balance, and maybe even a little breathing room.
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.

Some of my specialty areas include: LGBTQIA+, Perinatal mental health, Body image/fat liberation, and Consensual non-monogamy. I feel passionate about working with queer, transgender, and non-binary individuals who are on the path to parenthood. This includes those who may be carrying a child, thinking about conceiving, as well as non-birthing partners. Taking that step can feel scary and particularly polarizing in our binary filled world and I am here to hold and honor your space.
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.
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.
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? I am open to supporting all kinds of folx, but have a sweetspot for working with LGTBTQIA+ folx. My clients are open to experimenting towards what works, thru talking, cooking, writing, meditating, drawing, dancing, whatever helps get you there! I hope I can be a provider of safe and meaningful work for you!

I work with gen alpha, genZ, millennials & genX individuals & relationships. I specialize in helping folks with ADHD, HSPs, low self-esteem, perfectionism, adulting, burnout, imposter syndrome, chronic illness, gender identity, communication struggles and relationship issues. I love working with couples, & other artists/creatives, LGBTIA+ & neurodivergent folks. My ideal client is curious, has a desire to raise self-awareness, and is ready to sift through the pieces of life's puzzle together
People come to see me when they have trouble in their relationships. They feel anxious or as if they have to walk on eggshells around those they love out of fear of losing them. They push aside their needs for others, notice they are in "toxic" relationships though can't set boundaries, and feel burnt out from overworking and overhelping. Usually, when clients come to me, it isn't their "first rodeo." They are tired of re-hashing their past to a therapist who just nods.
Do you feel like your feelings are holding you back, preventing you from being who you once were? Are negative self-thoughts persistent despite your efforts? I understand the struggle: self-defeating thoughts, the constant "I am not good enough," and feelings of guilt and unworthiness. These can be overwhelming. With integrated therapeutic approaches, it’s time to let go of feeling stuck and trapped in your emotions. Start your journey toward healing and growth today.
We can create a specific plan to meet you where you are with a refreshing view on addressing your life challenges. I see clients ages 14 and up. Counseling can help you become aware of and navigate the challenges holding you back from the life you desire for yourself. I offer a confidential and supportive space for you to gain a healthy, new perspective on your life.
I am here to serve you. If you are overwhelmed by the stressors inflicted on you by a society that values 'doing' rather than 'being', I can help you find peace and clarity amidst the storms of life. My clients are often at a transitional phase of life- perhaps considering separation from their partner or working through some intense family conflict. Whatever you are facing, I can support you to become empowered in the process of change.

Our clients are the kind of folks who are ready to level up—not just their lives, but their relationships and their sense of self. They’re all about putting in the work, both in and out of sessions (yes, there’s homework, but it’s the good kind). They want a therapist who’s not just along for the ride, but right there in the trenches with them, working just as hard to create a safe, supportive space to grow.
Are you experiencing a readiness to heal your childhood wounds to effectively navigate life transitions and be the embodiment of your ideal self? Together we will identify early childhood narratives and trouble shoot learned behaviors and beliefs to become empowered, confident, and courageous to break the intergenerational cycles and set those boundaries to effectively advocate for yourself and develop healthy and meaningful relationships with others.
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.
I believe one of the most healing things we can do is understand our stories and how it affects our everyday life and relationships. These experiences can manifest in different ways such as anxiety, emotional numbness, or relationship challenges. The clients I work with have oftentimes experienced complex relational traumas in childhood and dysfunctional family dynamics. Through these difficult experiences, we develop coping strategies and protective behaviors, which may no longer be serving you
