I am a relational therapist who utilizes a client centered approach that includes a variety of psychodynamic and integrative therapeutic techniques to meet the unique needs of each individual client. I dedicate my time with clients to identify ways in which past experiences and beliefs may contribute to present patterns, behaviors, thoughts, and feelings. My work as a therapist includes, but is not limited to, providing therapy for students that may struggle with race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, identity development, adjustment/life transitions, and advocating for marginalized communities, while specifically providing adequate care and resources. I specialize in being attuned to those who may struggle with implementing boundaries in personal, professional, and platonic relationships. Through my work, I gently assists those with identifying their needs, to advocate and express to those they interact with to foster healthy relationships. My motto “process, brings awareness, leads to change” allows room for both me and my client to safely locate patterns and themes in their relationships, improve communication, and develop coping skills, all while increasing self-confidence and encouraging changed behavior. Through my specialties, I aim to utilize the therapy space to create a safe and new corrective experience that my clients can use to effectively manage worldly encounters.

Outside of the office, I enjoy doing Pilates. Regarding T.V. shows I could watch over and over again, Issa Rae’s Insecure is my pick. Lastly, my favorite travel destination is the Bahamas.

I work from a client-centered approach to meet students where they are using relational and interpersonal frameworks. I also incorporate CBT, ACT, and mindfulness techniques throughout my work. My clinical interests are interpersonal and relationship issues, life transitions, anxiety, depression, identity development, law student and lawyer related concerns, and clinical training and supervision. I enjoy anything outdoors, traveling, reading, watching and going to sports games (Go WaHoos!), spending time with my family and friends, and my pets. My favorite place I have traveled to is Greece and Hawaii. The TV shows I can never get tired of are Schitt’s Creek, Friends, and Gilmore Girls.

I use a collaborative approach, tailoring theoretical orientations to meet each client’s unique needs and characteristics, with a primary focus on CBT, ACT, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Interpersonal Therapy. I love working with graduate students in general but I’m particularly interested in working with international graduate students, as I can empathize with their concerns about minority stress and intersecting identities.

Outside the office, I enjoy exploring the DC area, discovering new restaurants and cafes, traveling to visit friends, and playing tennis.

I follow an integrative approach, using an ecological systems framework to understand the broader contexts that shape each person’s well-being. My work is grounded in a client-centered, psychodynamic approach, while also drawing on other evidence-based modalities such as CBT and DBT to best support each client’s unique needs and goals. I mainly work with clients who are navigating PTSD, depression, anxiety, neurodevelopmental disorders and relational and interpersonal issues, with a particular focus on providing culturally responsive support to BIPOC clients.

I enjoy working out (lifting and pilates), reading, spending time with my close family and friends, traveling and watching classic sitcoms, “Trash TV” and 90’s-early 2000’s movies. Some movies that I can watch endlessly are Pretty Woman, She’s the Man, Mystic Pizza, and the Fast and Furious series. Among my favorite places of travel are Granada, Spain or Chefchaouen, Morocco. 

Three things I would bring on a deserted island: Carmex, a hydromask filtered water source and a bottomless coffee pot.
