About Me (she/her/hers)

Sometimes we find ourselves at a place in life where we could use some help. Regardless of your specific challenge, I believe healing and growth happen most through relationships, when we can share our story with another and feel a little less alone. I consider it a privilege to be this person for you.

As a therapist, I strive to help you find relief from distressing symptoms, while also facilitating deeper change through exploration and insight. I believe this happens best when we can understand the impact of our past, in order to have greater ability to choose how we want to live in the present. Practically, this looks like me showing up in curiosity to ask the right questions, listening both to what is said and what is unsaid, being attentive to and creating space for what you’re feeling in the moment, and occasionally challenging you from a place of care. I believe that the therapy relationship is the most important tool for healing, and I aim to create a space in which your complexities are welcomed, your vulnerability honored, and your pain is met with compassion.

I am a postdoctoral fellow and licensed Psychology Associate, meaning that I have earned my PhD and am currently working toward licensure. I received my PhD in Counseling Psychology at the University of Maryland College Park and have worked in various clinical settings, including university counseling centers and community clinics. I have extensive experience working with college students and young adults, and I currently work with adults across the lifespan.

I work with a variety of clinical concerns, with particular interests in relational challenges, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and religious/spiritual/existential concerns. If you are interested in working together or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I look forward to connecting with you.
