My approach to psychotherapy is holistic and feminist. I believe that mind, body, spirit, community, culture, and institutions are all essentially interwoven into the issues that we face. I don’t think that anyone is broken, and I don’t think that therapy is about fixing yourself. Instead, I believe that people get stuck in undesirable patterns, and therapy is an opportunity to discover new, flexible approaches to outdated ways of relating with ourselves and others. At this time, I am available for working individually with adults, particularly those suffering from depression, anxiety, and trauma-related issues.

Navigating life’s challenges can feel overwhelming and leave us feeling disconnected from our friends, loved ones, coworkers, and even ourselves. As a compassionate and dedicated therapist, I am here to guide you on your journey to self-discovery and healing. Together, we will create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your inner world, emotional needs, and past experiences with curiosity and kindness.

Between sociopolitical unrest, significant life changes, and the everyday stress of “just making it” we all need additional support. The demands of maintaining our lives have increased, while for many, our emotional, social, and financial resources have decreased. Our uncertainty, stress, depression, and anxiety can be too much to bear. We will assist you by providing space for you to prioritize your unique needs, identifying your strengths and challenges, collaboratively develop a treatment plan, and guide you through making positive, concrete changes in your life. Our goal is a healthier, more empowered YOU!

Life is full of challenges which often can be overwhelming and stressful. You may be feeling anxious, depressed and/or confused. It takes courage and strength to reach out and allow yourself to be vulnerable and to share your inner most thoughts, feelings and experiences. I am here to offer support, guidance and encouragement as we explore together whatever you are facing in your life. I find that when we allow ourselves to be “In the state of possibility!” that the door to change and transformation is open. I am a trauma informed therapist with Holistic Healing CC and specialize in working with children, adolescents and adults.

I started my work at a healthcare clinic in Baltimore City primarily assisting those who were unhoused. During this work, I partnered with many diverse individuals. As I got to know them and our relationships grew I realized how valuable it was to spend time with them in their communities and to understand their backgrounds. I developed a deep appreciation of how challenging it can be to share your story with others. Because of this, I feel strongly committed to continuing my work with individuals who are struggling with life changes or life long traumas.

In therapy we will identify what kind of sexual/intimate life you most want and the barriers you are experiencing in having that sexual/intimate life. Sometimes that means exploring past experiences, sometimes it means talking about desires or about your body in new ways. I will create a safe space for you to share about body positivity, exploration of ethical non-monogamy, challenges with sexual desires, and gender identity.

Navigating this fast paced world can be overwhelming, especially when dealing with the impact of trauma and stress, feelings of loneliness, and the pressure to have it all figured out. Throughout life, we pick up feelings of shame and self-doubt, making it difficult to feel connected and fulfilled. Whether you are working through life transitions, managing relationship issues, juggling multiple roles, developing your identity, or managing parenting stress, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Therapy is an excellent tool that allows individuals to dedicate intentional time to begin healing and explore a deeper understanding of self.

Therapy can be a powerful tool to help people who have been struggling with anxiety, depression, and dissatisfaction. These struggles may have been recent, or they may reflect traumatic experiences or parts of our lives that have been problematic for many years. I work with adults of all ages--individuals and couples--to help them understand what has brought them to this point in their lives.

Through gender affirming care, I hope to validate and empower you to feel comfortable being your truest self. As a therapist, I tailor my practice and treatment approach to each individual and family, while working to meet my clients where they are. I believe that providing a safe and welcoming space for my clients is essential to the therapeutic process, and promotes emotional growth and change.

As a sex therapist, I specialize in treating all sexual issues. These often include relationship challenges and sexual problems such as lack of desire/low libido, difficulty with arousal, erections, premature ejaculation and trouble reaching orgasm. Anxiety about sexual performance, lost intimacy, sexual abuse, infidelity, menopause, illness and aging can also interfere with sexual satisfaction. Sex therapy may address problematic or illegal sexual behaviors, sexual compulsivity, paraphilias and fetishes. Clients can benefit from exploring issues surrounding sexual orientation, gender identity, asexuality, polyamory and kink.

I believe that feeling heard, understood, and validated is the first step to a therapeutic relationship in which growth to one's potential can occur. Recognition and affirmation of strengths is important to my approach. Being sensitive to an individual's life experience is central. I focus on one's feelings, thoughts, stressors and resources, as well as try to understand the individual and cultural history from which issues evolve. I apply a variety of approaches including mindfulness-based, cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, and psychodynamic. I have many years of experience working with individuals with a wide array of concerns.

My passion is helping others to live their best and most productive lives.

My clients seek help for various life problems such as depression, anxiety, trauma, family relationship and marital issues, mood disorders, trauma disorders, addiction, just to name a few. Whatever the issue that brings someone to therapy, we all need support, guidance, and healing in a safe nurturing environment. I offer a compassionate individualized approach to therapy and healing. I believe that a therapist's role is to help others to tap into the wisdom and healing that resides within.

I believe that therapy is about hope and choices. I know that when a person begins to feel supported and understood, change can happen rapidly. I provide highly individualized treatment that combines the best of evidence-based practices with mindfulness and movement awareness.

In these unsettling times, it can be all too easy to revert to the comfort of the familiar. But before you act reflexively, ask yourself whether you can imagine acting reflectively and with intention. Our work together will encourage you to examine your automatic beliefs and default settings and question whether old patterns are serving you well. Experimenting with fresh approaches to challenging situations often leads to surprising new outcomes and allows you to reshape the narrative you carry about yourself, which in turn may shift your relationships with others.
