Explore the patterns, experiences, and beliefs influencing your life while developing practical strategies for change. Whether you're working with me or another clinician at Your Life Onward, our goal is to strengthen self-awareness, improve relationships, establish healthier boundaries, and empower you to make intentional choices.

Direct, insightful, approachable, and genuinely invested in their progress. I balance thoughtful exploration with practical strategies, creating space for honest conversations, accountability, and personal growth. I encourage clients to challenge limiting beliefs, recognize their strengths, and approach change with greater confidence.

Our first session is an opportunity to understand what brings you to therapy, explore your experiences, and identify what you hope to accomplish. We'll identify patterns, discuss your goals, and decide on a direction for our work together. If another clinician at Your Life Onward is a better fit, I will connect you with the appropriate member of our team.

After 20 years in management consulting and organizational leadership, I realized my greatest interest had always been understanding people and how to help them move beyond challenges. Becoming a therapist was an intentional transition that allowed me to apply that perspective more directly and create meaningful change.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Founder and Clinical Director of Your Life Onward, a virtual group practice serving DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Our team offers individual and couples therapy using evidence-based, culturally responsive approaches. Together, we help clients navigate life's challenges, strengthen relationships, and move forward.
