I am a licensed therapist in Bethesda, MD and specialize in working with ADHD adults and teens, late identified autistic individuals, and mental health therapy for athletes. My work is grounded in psychodynamic, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and attachment and trauma-informed therapies.

I am particularly passionate about supporting ADHD individuals. As a neurodiversity affirming therapist, I know the world was not built for the ADHD brain. I work collaboratively with clients to increase self understanding and ways to cope with life’s responsibilities and activities.

I love supporting adults and older teens who may be wondering if autism is a part of their picture, as well as individuals who recently received an autism diagnosis. I honor and accommodate sensory sensitivities, and incorporate psychoeducation and coping tools to increase self understanding and prevent burnout.

As a former athlete and coach myself, I am particularly passionate about helping athletes develop their identity and cope with stressors of student-athlete life! There are so many great things that come from sport, but in my experience as an athlete, coach, and now therapist, I think there is a gap in athletics where mental health is left out. With professional athletes like Simone Biles, Michael Phelps, and Lindsey Vonn speaking more about mental health, hopefully this is changing how we talk to and with our athletes at the club, high school, and college levels too. I work with athletes to identify the moments of anxiety, adapt coping skills, and lead a more fulfilling athletic career. We also build on an athlete’s identity outside of their sport.
