Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor offering virtual therapy in Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland, and Virginia. I hold a Ph.D. in Counseling Education and Supervision and specialize in working with individuals navigating the impact of childhood maltreatment and trauma, including sexual abuse. I also support women living with autoimmune diseases who are managing the emotional and psychological toll of chronic illness.

My approach to therapy

My approach is compassionate, culturally responsive, and tailored to your unique needs. For clients who desire it, I also offer Christian counseling, integrating faith into the healing process in a way that is meaningful and respectful.

What you can expect from me

Are you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or struggling to make sense of your experiences? You don’t have to navigate it alone. I provide a safe, supportive space where you can begin to heal, grow, and reconnect with yourself.
