Real Therapy. Real Connection. Real Care.
Lead Therapist
I’m a compassionate, collaborative therapist who strives to honor your pace, your needs, and your story. My goal is to create a space where you feel truly seen, understood, and supported, where we can gently explore your experiences with care and curiosity. I walk alongside you with warmth and steadiness as you navigate areas where you may feel stuck, find support, and regulate your nervous system in ways that foster lasting growth. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, people-pleasing, self-esteem, perfectionism, attachment styles, ADHD, and women’s mental health, including support for those who are pregnant, postpartum, or trying to conceive. I offer in-person therapy in Baltimore and virtual therapy throughout Maryland.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with a Master’s in Clinical Psychology, focused on trauma psychology, from the University of Colorado. I offer EMDR therapy in Baltimore and throughout Maryland and am trained in EMDR through an EMDRIA-approved program. I also have additional training in somatic practices, attachment-based therapy, and developmental trauma. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and I tailor my approach to each client’s unique needs, preferences, and goals. While I offer EMDR as one way to explore and process experiences, I also draw from other therapeutic modalities to create an approach that feels supportive and meaningful to each individual.
Before moving into private practice, I provided therapy in a university wellness center, supporting college students and individuals in crisis through high-intensity mental health experiences. I’m LGBTQ+ affirming and neurodivergent-affirming, and I strive to create a space where all parts of your identity are celebrated.

Support for adults (18+)—grounded in compassion and curiosity
I work with adults (18+) who are looking to explore past or complex trauma or seeking support with anxiety, people-pleasing, self esteem, emotional regulation, ADHD, women's health and relationship challenges. I offer in-person therapy in Baltimore, Maryland, and virtual therapy across Maryland and Colorado.

Off The Clock
Outside The Therapy Room
Outside of work, I’m often reading a fantasy novel, hanging out with my cat, or getting outside as much as possible. I’m a big nerd at heart - I love games, puzzles, and anything that makes me think. I also enjoy yoga, hiking, and spending time with my people.
My primary modalities include:
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) / Parts Work
- Somatic Practices informed by Polyvagal Theory
- Relational Therapy
Using these modalities, we work together to and move through past or complex trauma, strengthen your awareness and understanding of your emotions, regulate your nervous system, and improve the quality of your relationships with yourself and others. Therapy with me is collaborative, grounded in compassion, and sometimes sprinkled with a little humor, so you feel supported.
“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself as who I am, then I can change."
