About
With more than 20 years as a licensed esthetician, I have had the privilege of caring for clients across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. My focus is customized facials and signature treatments built around your skin type, concerns, and goals.
Every visit begins with intention. I take time to understand your skin in that moment and create a treatment that is distinctly yours. Taking time for yourself matters, and my hope is that you leave feeling renewed, glowing, and like a brand-new version of yourself.
When I am not with clients, I recharge with yoga, brunch with my girlfriends, walks with my dad and sister, and the love of my husband and boys. That same grounded, generous care is what I bring to every treatment.
I am honored to be a ritual of your self-care.
Why I Chose Korean Skincare
Healthy skin is not something we chase after it breaks. It is something we protect before the first dry patch, the first flare, the first dullness ever arrives.
That is the heart of Korean skincare — and the reason every product in this room was chosen with intention. The ritual is thoughtful and consistent: keep the barrier intact, keep hydration where it belongs, and keep inflammation from ever taking hold. KrX, Corthe, and Thesera are built on that same philosophy. Prevention first, hydration always, and a strong, resilient barrier as the foundation of healthy skin.
Because these formulas are light — toners, essences, gels, serums — you can layer them without that heavy, greasy feeling. They disappear into the skin and leave behind what actually matters: a healthier barrier, and a glow that lasts.
Common ingredients you’ll see in Korean skincare
Ceramides
The “mortar” in your skin barrier. They help hold moisture in and keep irritants out, so skin feels less reactive and less stripped.
Cica (Centella Asiatica)
The soothing one. Helps settle redness and irritation so skin can recover instead of staying inflamed.
Hyaluronic Acid
Pulls water into the skin and helps it stay there. That’s the bounce and the comfortable, quenched feeling — not a tight, dry finish.
Niacinamide
A quiet multitasker. Supports the barrier, evens the look of tone, and helps skin look clearer and more balanced without feeling harsh.
Snail Mucin
Hydrates deeply, supports barrier repair, and helps smooth texture over time. Packed with glycoproteins, peptides, and moisture-binding sugars that plump and comfort skin after treatment.
