Intro

I have been a mental health professional in the Washington, DC area for nearly 30 years and am licensed in Maryland, Washington, DC, and Virginia. Throughout my career, I have worked extensively with older adults, supporting them as they navigate the many challenges that come with life transitions. I have helped individuals manage anxiety and depression related to medical issues, loss of functioning, diminished self-esteem or identity, grief and bereavement, loneliness and social isolation, work stressors and career transitions, financial concerns, relationship conflicts, and past trauma.

I am passionate about empowering people to achieve their personal goals, improve their quality of life, and strengthen their sense of self and purpose.

How would you describe your approach to care?

My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each individual. I focus on building a trusting relationship where you feel safe to explore your thoughts and emotions openly. Through supportive conversations, we can navigate life’s transitions together, helping you develop clarity, confidence, and resilience. My goal is to provide a space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes. Together, we will work toward personal growth, emotional well-being, and a greater sense of fulfillment in daily life.

What should be expected in the first session?

In our first session, we’ll spend time getting to know each other and discussing what brought you to therapy. This will be a relaxed and supportive conversation, with no pressure to share more than you feel comfortable. We’ll also go over how therapy works, what you can expect moving forward, and begin identifying goals that are meaningful to you. My priority is to ensure you feel heard, respected, and at ease as we begin this journey together at your own pace.
