(DC LPC license #: PRC14325 & Virginia license #: 0701012582

Services Offered
I provide individual therapy in the Washington, DC metro area. I currently see most of my clients virtually and a small number of clients meet with me in person at various parks in the DC for 60 minute Walk & Talk session.
My typical client is a high achieving young professional (late 20s to late 30s) who may be challenged by life stage changes, anxiety, depression, (non-complex trauma), and grief/loss. I am especially passionate about providing support to people who have or are currently experiencing ambiguous loss(es).
I also provide Living with Loss coaching. I offer coaching services to people who are bereaved and have already done some grief work (in therapy, support groups, or on their own) and would like to focus time and energy on accomplishing goals they feel grief has “gotten in the way of” them pursuing.

Professional Certifications and Licenses
While employed at a local hospice as the grief counselor for the inpatient unit, I pursued my certification in Thanatology through The Association for Death Education and Counseling. In addition, I have completed both Level I and Level II of Complicated Grief Therapy training through the Columbia School of Social Work in NYC, and I am a certified Compassionate Bereavement Care provider through the MISS Foundation (MISSing your child).
After completing my Master of Arts in Counseling at The George Washington University, I completed a two-year advanced training program in couples and family therapy at the Washington Center for Psychoanalysis.
I am distance credentialed and provide tele-therapy (phone or video) to clients in DC, Maryland, Virginia and Florida.
Services Offered
I am a psychotherapist in private practice based in the District of Columbia. I specialize in grief and loss, as well as couples and family therapy. My personal experiences of grief opened my eyes to grief’s pain and complexity, but also allowed me to see that it could be navigated. What I learned made me want to help others. My education, training, and experience have provided me with the tools to help guide individuals and couples though the grieving process.
My work with clients experiencing loss has addressed a range of situations and challenges. I work with people who separated or divorced, relocated or lost a job, retired, experienced trauma, or received a diagnosis of illness for themselves or a loved one. Such life events and transitions can causes feelings of loss–of relationship, of family unit, of culture, identity, or health–and can be addressed through therapy.
