Accepting Clients

With warmth and cultural competence, I create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can navigate life transitions and foster growth.

Licensed Professional Counselor in District of Columbia

About My Clients

Transitions can feel daunting whether you’re stepping into a new career, exploring relationship dynamics, or figuring out what's next. We’ll work together to help you stay grounded, even when life feels uncertain. You’ll learn to move through change with clarity, flexibility, and purpose. This space is for you, whether you’re exploring your cultural identity, gender or sexual orientation, or personal values. We’ll focus on self-acceptance and creating alignment between your values and actions.

My Background and Approach

I collaborate with clients through a personalized plan integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Existential, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy approaches to gain insight into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors as they relate to their situation and story. I help frame goals and solutions from a respectful holistic perspective based on resiliency, authenticity, and meaning. Clients are empowered throughout the healing process by discovering and utilizing their individualized therapeutic tools and coping abilities. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a DC local. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the College of William and Mary and a Master of Science in Education in Mental Health Counseling from Fordham University.
