Those who care, listen.
I hold an MSW from the Catholic University of America and multiple post-graduate certificates in infertility counseling, perinatal mental health, and family therapy. My work in the reproductive and perinatal space spans the past decade. I hold membership in the DC Metro Perinatal Mental Health Collaborative, a membership organization for highly trained perinatal clinicians. I am a board certificated clinical supervisor in Maryland.
I am known for compassionate, client-centered care. My therapy work is grounded in evidence-based standards of care and best practices for person-centered therapy. I treat the whole person and bring respect for the diversity of all people’s lives and experiences. My clients and I laugh together and talk about hard things together.
