I utilize a relaxed, interactive communication style in my therapy sessions. My aim is to create a warm, non-judgmental environment where you feel comfortable openly sharing your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

Women deserve spaces where they feel emotionally safe enough to become fully themselves. I provide virtual psychotherapy for women seeking support for sexual trauma recovery, PTSD, C-PTSD, depression, anxiety, identity concerns, and life transitions. Whether this is your first experience with therapy or one step in a longer healing journey, I am honored to walk alongside you. My goal is to provide a therapeutic environment where women feel seen, heard, respected, valued, and supported as they move toward healing and authenticity. Through trauma-informed, affirming psychotherapy, I strive to create an environment where women can reconnect with themselves, reclaim their voices, strengthen self-trust, and move toward lives that feel more authentic, meaningful, and emotionally free. You are welcome here. Healing is not about becoming someone different. It is about coming home to yourself.

If you are struggling in your relationships, navigating a major life transition, or feeling stuck in patterns related to substance or behavioral addictions, you are not alone. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable adults who find themselves repeating painful relational dynamics or feeling disconnected from the life they want to be living. Therapy can be a powerful place to understand why—and to begin doing something different. I specialize in working with adults from diverse cultural backgrounds who want more fulfilling relationships and a stronger sense of self. Together, we explore the patterns that may be contributing to your needs not being met. I help you to increase awareness of how these patterns developed and how they continue to show up in your life today. Insight is important—but real change happens through new experiences. When appropriate, I connect clients to therapy groups where they can practice new ways of relating and receive meaningful interpersonal feedback in a supportive environment.

Feeling stuck in your relationship? Grieving a loss that others don’t seem to understand? Or struggling with anxiety that’s quietly hijacking your day-to-day life? You don’t have to face it alone. I help individuals and couples navigate anxiety, grief, and relationship conflict with compassion, clarity, and direction. My approach is rooted in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and systems-based counseling, which means I don’t just look at symptoms, I help you identify strengths, shift patterns, and build new ways forward. Whether you're in the middle of a crisis or just feeling numb and disconnected, therapy can be a space to reset. I use evidence-based techniques, paired with a healthy dose of empathy and occasional humor, to help clients feel both seen and supported. I believe healing happens when we feel safe enough to be real, and I create an environment that allows just that. Clients often come to me when they’re overwhelmed by relationship tension, family challenges, personal loss, or internal pressure to "keep it all together." Together, let's explore what’s working, what’s not, and what new choices are available to you. I’m licensed in Maryland, Virginia, Florida, and Connecticut, and I offer virtual therapy for busy professionals and couples who want expert support without commuting or rearranging their lives. If you’re ready to move from surviving to thriving, whether in your relationship, your grief, or your inner world, let’s work together to build connection, clarity, and healing.

I focus my work with individuals and couples to improve connection and secure functioning within relationships. I also work individuals dealing with affair recovery and betrayal trauma. Additionally, a large part of my practice focuses on healing from past traumas. During big life events we all need support, compassion, understanding, and sometimes guidance to return to feeling whole, connected, and allow joy back into our lives. Learning to care for yourself and using evidence based tools to improve your life will be our focus. My hope is to help you heal so you manage life's stressors and feel confident to face the world.

I help people change through developing a greater awareness for all of themselves, which allows them greater resources to deal with the struggles that they are experiencing. As clients develop greater awareness of themselves, including their wants, needs, emotions, and ways of relating to others, they tend to develop a wider range of choices in their lives. They learn to recognize what they do that keeps them from being their best selves. They also learn to tap into and use their own internal wisdom to help guide their choices, developing a greater authenticity in their lives. In relationships, couples and families develop greater intimacy and ability to use conflict to further their relationship through their greater awareness of themselves and their other family members. People I work with also learn with guidance and coaching to experiment with new ways of being with themselves and others in the world, which furthers their growth and development into more happy, fulfilled human beings. As an experienced psychotherapist and former graduate psychology professor, I have developed a wide range of expertise in helping others. I am honored and humbled by the courage and spirit of the people I work with and the struggles they face. I feel privileged to help people come to terms with pain, face challenges, and change their lives.

I am the Founder and Director of Ashburn Psychological and Psychiatric Services, which is a multidisciplinary practice comprised of MD, PhD, and Master's level clinicians. The clinicians at Ashburn Psychological and Psychiatric Services provide psychiatry (medication management), testing (e.g., for neuropsychological, developmental, educational, behavioral, or emotional concerns), and various therapies (e.g., child, adolescent, adult, family, and couples).

You are noticing that some of the things that you experienced as a child affected you in many ways. Now that you are a parent, you are seeking support to parent your young children differently. My specialty is working with new and prospective parents to help them explore their parenting beliefs, learn the essentials of infant and early childhood development, and gain practical, real-life parenting skills that are designed to foster a loving and secure parent-child bond with children who feel loved, supported and respected.

We offer medication management, therapy, or both depending on what you need. Led by a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP), we provide what most practices can't: comprehensive psychiatric support under one roof from someone who sees the whole picture. No bouncing between providers. No repeating your history. No gaps in your care. Our approach is simple: we listen first. A successful treatment plan requires a true understanding of your history, your goals, and what hasn't worked before—so we can build a plan that actually moves you forward.

Many people struggle with habits and behaviors that begin as coping, escape, or entertainment but gradually start taking over their lives. You may find yourself spending more time than intended gaming, gambling, or scrolling social media while relationships, mood, motivation, work or school begin to suffer. My approach is practical, compassionate, and nonjudgmental. Together we work to understand what the behavior is doing for you, address underlying emotional and psychological factors, and build healthier ways of coping, connecting, and living successful lives. I have in person and virtual appointments available now. Reach out today to get started.
