I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Maryland who serves primarily young adults, adults, and seniors. My career in mental health began in 2009 with my journey allowing me the opportunity to work extensively with alcohol/drug/gambling addiction and trauma. I am a National Certified Counselor, Master Addiction Counselor, and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional who is certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Additionally, I am a Board Approved Supervisor through the Maryland Board of Professional Counselors and Therapists and have my license in Delaware as a Licensed Professional Counselor of Mental Health. I have worked both in the private sector and in community mental health both offering psychotherapy and overseeing the training of graduate professionals and student interns.

I am passionate and enthusiastic about aiding individuals in their mental health journey. I strive to create a safe space for clients to collaboratively explore what they want to see change in their lives. I work at the client’s pace to see that change unfold. Change can be overwhelming, but with support, guidance, and a space where you can feel accepted as you are I’ve seen individuals flourish.

I work with a variety of theoretical orientations including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, EMDR, mindfulness based strategies, and trauma informed skills. This allows the person who walks through my door to know that we have options on how to proceed in our work together. I offer an abundance of psychoeducation, make many recommendations, and can create more structure in session if it’s of service to the client. Let’s grow together.
