Looking for compassionate, licensed therapy in Maryland? As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), I provide evidence-based, trauma-informed mental health care tailored to your unique journey.

Whether you are navigating difficult life transitions, managing chronic stress, or building resilience, I offer a safe, supportive space for individual counseling. I earned my B.A. in Psychology from the University of Maryland and my M.S. in Counseling from California State University, Northridge. My goal is to give you the practical tools and clarity needed to navigate life’s challenges with confidence.

With clinical experience across community agencies, school settings, and residential care, I offer warm, collaborative therapy tailored to your goals. Whether you are dealing with past distressing events or current stress, my goal is to help you process trauma, heal from the past, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

Your first session is simply a space for us to get to know each other and build a safe foundation. We’ll discuss what brings you to therapy, your current challenges, and what you hope to achieve, at whatever pace feels comfortable for you.

I’ll ask a few questions about your background and history to better understand your story. Together, we’ll start outlining your goals and explore approaches that fit your needs, including trauma-informed care and EMDR. Above all, this session is about ensuring you feel heard, supported, and never alone in your process.
