In terms of energy Fall 2025 is giving "hard work" and persevere.

As I work towards advanced ADHD certification for mental health counselors.

I'm envisioning how this specialized training will offer Washingtonians even more tailored support within my counseling and therapy practice.

My passion is centered on empowering you – high achieving professionals navigating demanding careers, women balancing multiple roles, and children exploring their unique potential – to find your own joy and live their best lives.

Adding new certifications, particularly in adult and child ADHD, is a commitment to enhancing the support I can offer as you navigate the challenges and celebrate the strengths that come with ADHD.

I'm dedicated to creating a supportive space where you can explore all of of that.

Keep an eye out this Fall for updates on how my practice is growing and expanding in Washington DC to better serve you. I can't wait to connect with more of you!

Rise and shine! ☀️ This breakfast committee of one is serving up fluffy flapjacks to 40 hungry swimmers this morning, getting them carbed up for a big meet tonight.

Before I step into my role as a therapist in the Washington D.C. and Virginia area, my day often starts with another kind of demanding, but rewarding work.

This kind of juggling act – balancing professional responsibilities with family duties (and a little pre-swim meet fueling!) – is something many busy female professionals and families in our area can relate to. Our lives are full, and it's easy to put everyone else's needs before our own.

But amidst the hustle and bustle, it's crucial to remember the importance of prioritizing our own well-being and mental health. Just like those swimmers need the right fuel for their meet, we need to nourish ourselves to navigate the demands of our busy lives.

Taking time for yourself isn't selfish; it's essential. Whether it's a few quiet moments in the morning, a walk to clear your head, or seeking professional support, finding ways to recharge and process challenges is vital.

As a therapist, I see firsthand the positive impact that prioritizing mental health can have. Therapy can be a valuable resource for managing stress, finding balance, and developing strategies to thrive amidst the beautiful chaos of being a busy professional and family member.

Life in the DMV area can be a whirlwind, especially when you're juggling a career, personal life, and maybe even the beautiful chaos of motherhood.

It's 7:30 AM on a Saturday, and instead of prepping for client sessions as per usual, I'm in full mode! Because guess what? Your therapist is also a woman, a professional, a mom – navigating the very same stresses and anxieties you might be facing.

Whether you're a fellow woman, a busy professional, or feeling the weight of making it all work in Washington DC, please know you're not alone. And if needed, I'm here to help.

Consider me your go-to for all things mental health, wellness, and creating a life that truly feels good. Let's connect and explore how you can design and implement your . Reach out today – I'm happy to share what I know.

At the moment it is law that mental health issues must be covered just like physical ailments. This may not be the case after May 12th. Mental health claims are increasingly being denied by insurance companies... this might be one reason...

The Trump administration is facing a May 12 deadline to declare if it will defend Biden-era regulations that aim to enforce laws requiring parity in insurance coverage of mental and physical health care.
