I have experience in inpatient mental health, outpatient mental health, and private practice settings.  I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and also a Board Approved Clinical Supervisor in the State of Maryland and also a Board Approved Clinical Supervisor.  I work with clients of many mental health issues and typically work with children, adolescents, and adults.  I work primarily with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia, and other mental health diagnoses as well.

I am an eclectic therapist and primarily work from a CBT theoretical background including techniques from other theoretical backgrounds as well.

I offer a calm, warm, and empathetic space for clients to work through their mental health struggles without judgement.  I invite you to schedule an appointment to start your journey to achieving your fullest potential.

I am a licensed graduate professional counselor (LGPC) with 6 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, young adults, and adults in clinical and school-based settings. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional regulation challenges, family conflict, identity concerns, and life transitions. My work focuses on helping clients gain clarity, strengthen resilience, and develop practical tools to navigate everyday challenges.

I earned my master’s degree in mental health counseling from Johns Hopkins University. My clinical approach is cognitive behavioral therapy-focused and trauma-informed, helping clients identify unhelpful thought patterns, build practical coping strategies, and create sustainable behavior change through structured, goal-oriented sessions.

You do not have to navigate this season alone. I offer a collaborative, culturally responsive, and compassionate space where your experiences are honored and your goals guide our work. Together, we will move at your pace to support healing, emotional growth, and renewed hope.
