Psychotherapist
LICSW, LCSW, LCSW-C
I believe each person has the innate capacity to heal, and that a trusting relationship with a therapist can be a support in that journey. Therapy should be a collaborative process, where you feel comfortable asking questions, can build clarity, and gain momentum toward your goals. My work and training is grounded in attachment theory and in understanding how connection with others impacts us across the life span. I also see the ways that mindfulness, creative expression, and movement can also be powerful tools for healing and aim to integrate them into my practice. Above all, I strive to provide a space where you feel truly seen and can share openly.
I live in Washington, D.C. with my family, and as a mom of two I understand the challenges that come with embracing your new identity while also not forgetting who you are outside of being a parent.
MY FOCUS
I specialize in couples therapy, parenting therapy, and individual therapy with a focus on perinatal anxiety.
I offer couples therapy for all types of partnerships and relationships. In this work, I support you in uncovering unhelpful relational cycles and in learning new ways to communicate and connect with each other. We work together to identify unmet emotional needs, heal attachment wounds, and build a more secure connection in your relationship.
In parenting therapy, I focus on challenging co-parenting dynamics and how to get on the same page with your partner to align your approach as co-parents so you can be more present and attuned with your children.
On a personal note, I am a survivor of Hyperemesis Gravidarum (x2) and bring a personal perspective in working with pregnant people who are having the similar experience of challenging health issues while managing the changes that occur during pregnancy.
I am trained in and have experience providing gender affirming care and therapy for the LGBTQIA+ community.

Walking With You
I’m here to support as you build insight–reminding you to have compassion for yourself as you uncover unhelpful patterns that may have protected you in the past but are no longer serving your needs in the present.
MY EXPERIENCE
I earned my Master’s Degree in Social Work at Catholic University in 2013 and my Bachelor’s in Spanish and Religious Studies from the University of Richmond in 2006. I have provided therapy to children, adolescents, and adults in outpatient clinics, community mental health clinics, schools, and private practice settings since 2013.
I am currently a clinician at Georgetown Medstar University Hospital working in the Department of Psychiatry outpatient clinic as well as working within the school-based Wellbeing in School Environments (WISE) program.

Cultivate Your Inner Strength
I’m here to support you in your journey as you recognize your own ability to heal and grow. In the words of the poet Mary Oliver, “Joy is not made to be a crumb.” and I hope in my therapy practice to assist you in recognizing and fully embracing the joyful moments even in the midst of seasons of challenge.
