About My Clients
Maybe you and your partner keep having the same fight, or you've drifted into a quiet distance that neither of you knows how to bridge. I work best with couples who are ready to stop going in circles and start actually reaching each other. I also work with individuals who feel capable on the outside but privately disconnected — from their relationships, their sense of self, or both. If you're ready to do the work, I'd be glad to be in your corner.
My Background and Approach
I hold a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am licensed in both DC and Virginia. But credentials only tell part of the story. Before becoming a therapist I spent years as an attorney and ran restaurants — experiences that taught me how to hold complexity, stay calm under pressure, and meet people where they are. If you're coming to couples therapy, you deserve a therapist with serious, specialized training. I've completed advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method — two of the most researched approaches to couples work — so our work together isn't just intuitive, it's grounded in what actually moves the needle. For individuals, I draw on IFS and ACT to help you understand your inner world and take meaningful action toward the life you want. Underlying everything is an existential lens: I'm interested in what makes your life feel meaningful, and I think that question belongs in the therapy room.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I'm a queer, cis-gender therapist who came to this work by a winding road — I spent years as an attorney and ran a couple of restaurants before finding my way here. That non-linear path shapes how I work: I bring curiosity, directness, and a deep respect for the messy, complicated experience of being human. I'm sex-positive and affirming of all relationship structures. I believe love is genuinely enough to sustain a relationship — what most couples need are the skills and self-awareness to navigate their attachment needs. That belief sits at the core of everything I do. When I'm not in session, you'll find me chasing my Shiba Inu, playing board games, or spending time in Provincetown.
