Great to meet you!

If you're carrying more than you'd like to admit right now, you've landed in the right place. I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Maryland who works with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I bring warmth, humor when it fits, and a genuinely judgment-free space to every session. Using CBT, DBT, and faithbased approaches, I meet you exactly where you are. I'd love to help you find your way forward.

My approach to therapy

I use a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental approach, meeting clients where they are. I integrate CBT, DBT, and faith-based techniques to help individuals manage anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I focus on practical coping skills, self-awareness, and creating meaningful, lasting change.

What you can expect from me

In your first session, we'll take the time to get to know each other. I'll ask what brought you in, what you're hoping to feel differently, and what you've found hard to say out loud before. You don't have to share more than you're ready for. I keep things warm and a little light when that fits, and always focused on you. Most clients leave that first session feeling a real sense of relief: they're not carrying it alone anymore.
