Licensed Professional Counselor

I am a clinician at our North Bethesda clinic who provides therapy services!

I provide a warm, collaborative space where clients can explore challenges and create lasting change. I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, and sexual wellness.

My approach blends cognitive-behavioral therapy with holistic techniques such as biofeedback, hypnosis, virtual reality therapy, and psychophysiology to support emotional and physical well-being. For clients interested in creative or alternative methods, I’m certified in the Geek Therapy model and often integrate video games, role-playing, and superhero psychology into our work.

Before becoming a therapist, I served as a U.S. Naval Officer, university dean, and federal government employee—experiences that deepened my understanding of leadership, transition, and resilience. With over 20 years supporting diverse and underserved communities, I strive to create an inclusive, affirming space for all.
