Providing Evidenced-based, trauma informed treatment

to teens, adults and parents in VA, MD, DC and NY via telehealth

Break through ineffective patterns and live freely 

  • You feel like you are trapped this loop.

  • You know you want to do something differently, to feel better and to be free.

  • When the moment comes, the moment of unbearable shame, skin crawling anxiety, and mind-numbing anger, the moment that reminds you of all your flaws and mistakes, the moment that has happened a thousand times,

  • We seem to travel back in time and act exactly like how we reacted the first time ever, lost and defeated. 

"The best way out is always through."

–Robert Frost

No, you are NOT broken, hopeless or a waste of time!

A Path Forward

  • We can break free from the ineffective pattern and find renewed energy and confidence to move forward.

  • I can help you learn the skills to manage our emotions and change our behaviors. We will explore your thoughts, emotions and past experiences and learn how to love ourselves unconditionally and passionately.

  • I will coach you to accept your darkest sides and hold on to hopes for you when you can’t. I will also be very direct and cheerlead you when I see an opportunity for the life you want is here.

Together, we will practice how to accept ourselves unconditionally and fiercely move for changes we desire. Through our partnership, we will get to build new ways to many different seasons of life and live more freely.
