Licensed Clinical Psychologist · Vienna, VA · Virtual

As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist for nearly 30 years, I have provided a person-centered, relational, developmentally-sensitive, and discovery-oriented approach to individuals across the lifespan — with children in relationship play therapy, adolescents navigating anxiety and growth, adults in moments of self-discovery, and elders as they face surrender, grief, and the profound work of generativity.

I have had the privilege of walking alongside people across the full spectrum of human expression — diverse racial, ethnic and cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations, genders and gender identities; neurodivergent ways of being; erotic and kink communities; and people leaving religious cults, spiritual trauma, or abusive families and marriages. Increasingly, I also work with people whose experiences push at the edges of what we think we know — near-death experiences, past-life memories, psychedelic journeys, precognitive dreams, and other exceptional experiences that deserve to be met with curiosity rather than dismissal.

Experiences That Push at the Edges

Increasingly, I work with people whose experiences challenge the boundaries of what we think we know. Whatever brings you to this work, I am here to listen without judgment — with discernment, care, and a deep commitment to helping you integrate your experiences.

Not all meaningful experiences have diagnoses in the DSM. You deserve a therapist who won’t pathologize what may be among the most important events of your life.

Preparation & Integration

Clinically informed support across the full psychedelic journey — preparation, integration, and long-term meaning-making grounded in 30 years of clinical practice.

Sober Psychedelics

Altered states without substances — RoXiva stroboscopic light, holotropic breathwork, and somatic intensives within a full therapeutic container.

Paranormal & Emergent Phenomena

Grounded support for individuals navigating entity contact, hauntings, UAP encounters, or unexplained events that carry psychological and existential weight.

I remain genuinely in awe of the complexity of human experience and the sheer courage it takes to live authentically.
