Virtual Therapy for Teens & Adults in Maryland & Colorado
I offer therapy for teens and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and attachment-related relationship patterns.
My work focuses on helping you understand the patterns beneath what you’re experiencing so therapy can lead to meaningful, lasting change.
Trauma Therapy (PTSD & CPTSD)
Trauma can shape the way we experience safety, connection, and our sense of self. You may notice patterns such as hypervigilance, emotional overwhelm, difficulty trusting others, or feeling stuck in survival mode. These experiences are often connected to the nervous system’s protective responses, commonly described as fight, flight, freeze, or fawn.
In therapy, we explore how past experiences continue to influence the present. Together, we work toward understanding trauma responses with curiosity and compassion while building greater emotional safety, stability, and self-trust.
My approach integrates evidence-based, trauma-informed therapy interventions, Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic awareness, attachment-based work, and DBT skills to support nervous system regulation and healing at a pace that feels collaborative and supportive.
Attachment Styles / Relationship Patterns
Our earliest relationships often shape how we experience connection, trust, and emotional safety later in life. You may notice patterns such as people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, fear of abandonment, or feeling anxious in close relationships.
In individual therapy, we explore how these relational patterns developed and how they continue to influence the way you connect with others. These patterns often form as ways of protecting yourself emotionally, and with support, they can begin to shift toward healthier, more secure connections.
Using Attachment-focused therapy interventions, Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and relational work, we begin to build greater awareness, emotional safety, and healthier patterns in relationships with others and with yourself.
Over time, therapy can become a space where new relational experiences begin to take shape, allowing you to feel more secure, understood, and connected.
Anxiety / Life Transitions
Anxiety can show up in many ways. If you're struggling with racing thoughts, constant worry, a deep need for perfectionism, or the unsettling feeling of always being "on edge," you understand how overwhelming daily life can be. Major life transitions (such as career changes, relationship shifts, or entering new stages of adulthood) can often trigger uncertainty and emotional distress.
Therapy offers a space for you to slow down and understand the underlying patterns driving your anxiety and overwhelm. Together, we’ll work to unpack the heavy pressures you carry to help you develop healthier, more resilient ways to manage and respond to stress.
Using specialized, evidence-based treatment approaches such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and relational therapy, we’ll build practical tools for emotional regulation while also addressing the deeper patterns that contribute to anxiety.
ADHD / Neurodivergence
Many adults come to therapy after years of feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or frustrated by patterns related to attention, emotional regulation, and executive functioning. For some, this includes exploring a recent ADHD diagnosis or recognizing traits that have been present for much of their lives.
ADHD can impact focus, motivation, emotional intensity, relationships, and daily routines. Many people also experience burnout from years of masking or trying to meet expectations that were never designed for the way their brains work.
In therapy, we focus on understanding how your brain works while building practical tools for emotional regulation, self-compassion, and sustainable systems that support your strengths. My approach integrates DBT skills, relational therapy, and trauma-informed perspectives to help reduce shame, increase self-understanding, and create strategies that work for your life.
