Introduction

I work with teens and young adults (ages 12 and up) who are struggling with low self-esteem, people-pleasing, social anxiety, or feeling isolated and wanting more connection. I have experience working with introverted or shy clients, and with teens navigating ADHD. I also welcome adults who recognize these same patterns in themselves. I hold a Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from George Mason University and a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from the University of Virginia. Before graduate school, I spent three years on the clinical support team at a IOP/PHP program for adolescents, co-facilitating DBT-informed groups on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and relationships. I completed my counseling internship at George Mason's community clinic, working with clients on anxiety, ADHD, and self-worth. Sessions start with who you are, not what's wrong. I'll want to hear about your music, your games, your support system, the show you're rewatching — because how someone talks about what they love tells me a lot about how to help.
