With 16 years of experience as a licensed professional counselor in the Washington- Baltimore region, I’m passionate about transforming lives through compassionate, evidence-based, accessible mental health care that is focused on YOU. As a Board Certified Telemental Health (BC-TMH) provider, I have a strong background in community mental health and first responder populations.
Research consistently demonstrates that the most critical factor in successful therapy is not the specific technique used, but the quality of the relationship between the client and therapist. While prioritizing therapeutic alliance first and foremost, my ultimate goal is to create a safe space where you can grow. Using a trauma-informed lens, I intentionally draw on one or more evidence-based interventions. These include traditional cognitive behavioral therapy, cognitive processing therapy (CPT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills, and attachment-based therapy. I'm also big on incorporating peer support as an adjunct to clinical services.
I practice a hands-on approach that values accountability with flexibility. While you remain the driver's seat, I'll be by your side to help you set goals between sessions, increase action, and challenged unhelpful thoughts or behaviors that are keeping you stuck. Together, we will create a solid individualized treatment plan that address your individual needs and creates a roadmap for recovery.
