Our Team

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Washington, DC, originally from Louisville, KY. With many years of experience, I specialize in helping children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples navigate individual, family, and relationship challenges. My practice is grounded in systemic, relational, collaborative, client-centered, strength-based, behavioral, and expressive therapy approaches.

In my counseling with couples, I incorporate Gottman method techniques and emotion-focused techniques to enhance communication, deepen connection and strengthen relationships. I support relationships of all types, including newer dating relationships, premarital, married couples, polyamory, domestic partnerships, and couples navigating decoupling or requiring discernment counseling. Additionally, I am well-versed in working with LGBTQIA+ individuals, couples, and families. When working with individuals, I am skilled in helping with navigating transitions into adulthood, transitions in the working world, relationship challenges, family conflict, and self-esteem concerns.

I am trained in Integrative Systemic Therapy (IST), a solution-focused theory that considers the socio-emotional frameworks affecting individuals or systems by providing a targeted approach through a culturally informed and diverse lens. I have extensive experience providing intensive home, school, and community-based psychotherapy and case management services to families with children, preadolescents, and individuals. I have advocated for child clients by collaborating with school social workers, teachers and parents to develop an integrative framework and coordinate care for each child’s case.
