Drawing from a rich background as a therapist, attorney, and a former Supreme Court of Virginia Certified Mediator for Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court, my approach to therapy centers on empathy, warmth, and trust cultivated through years of experience working with people during some of the most stressful periods of their lives. I have a Juris Doctorate from George Mason University School of Law, where I completed a two-year competitive clerkship working on high-profile death penalty cases. I also hold a Masters Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from George Mason University, where I graduated Summa Cum Laude and specialized in strengths-based, depathologized treatment of trauma. I am currently a graduate student at Harvard University, where I am furthering my knowledge of psychology & human behavior to ensure my clients have access to the best care.

I have previous experience as a Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence Counselor with Fairfax County Domestic and Sexual Violence Services and completed a rigorous intern therapist training program at Falls Church Wellness Center in Falls Church Virginia under several of the area’s leading specialists in trauma-informed care. I trained at Yale University Child Study Center with Dr. Eli Lebowitz, the creater of SPACE Treatment, to support parents who want to learn skills and tools to help their child overcome anxiety, OCD and related struggles.

As a dually licensed Resident in Counseling and an attorney, and the child of a veteran and a first responder, I take confidentiality seriously. I am comfortable navigating the delicate balance between serving individuals and families who must balance seeking help with maintaining security clearances. Outside of therapy, you can find me surrounded by my family, animals and books, out hiking, or volunteering time as a Certified Ax and Knife Throwing Instructor for Girl Scouts of America. I am an avid athlete and equestrian, skier, Cross-Fitter, and currently working towards my Second Degree Blackbelt in Taekwondo.

At the core of my practice lies a deep reverence for the intricate dance between neurobiology and human connection, rooted in the belief that we, as humans, are wired to move toward healing. I am passionate about nurturing an environment of warmth and safety where your healing journey can unfold naturally. I cannot change what happened to you, but I will partner with you to ease the burden of navigating life’s complexities alone and help you tap into the reservoir of resilience and wisdom already within you.
