I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Washington, DC and VA, holding a Masters degree in Forensic Psychology from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology and over a decade of experience as a therapist. I have additional training and experience providing neurodiversity affirming, trauma informed, sex therapy, to LGBTQIA, kinky, ethically non-monogamous and sex worker communities.

I use what is known as an integrative therapy model. This means I mix and match different therapeutic modalities I find useful depending on what the person in front of me needs, creating an individualized plan of treatment. I particularly find Internal family systems, solution-focused, attachment based, and cognitive behavioral therapy useful because they are models that can assist people with understanding where a behavior, feeling or thought started, in what dynamics it's likely to show up, find alignment with our parts and change perspective in a more efficient and long-term way. I believe in assisting people with perspective change in order to work through their barriers but also in teaching coping skills for when perspective change falters. I also provide active suggestions, opinions, resources, psychoeducation, and homework assignments when necessary, rather than only assisting in passive reflection. For those in search of trauma therapy, I use an internal family systems, attachment based, harm reduction and empowerment model.
