Great to meet you!

Hi there, I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with several years of experience supporting individuals through emotional healing, self-discovery, and meaningful life transitions. My background includes working in both clinical and community-based settings, where I’ve supported adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life changes.

In addition to my clinical work, I am also a special education paraprofessional in the Montgomery County Public School system, where I have experience working with elementary- and adolescent-aged students. This role has deepened my understanding of child and adolescent development, learning differences, emotional regulation, and the unique challenges young people and their families often face.

I take a compassionate, relational, and culturally responsive approach to therapy. I integrate evidence-based practices with mindfulness, insight-oriented work, and practical coping tools, always tailoring treatment to each client’s unique history and goals. I believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and human, not clinical or judgmental.

As a therapist, I value honesty, warmth, and emotional depth. I work best with clients who want to better understand themselves, strengthen boundaries, heal old wounds, and build healthier relationships with others and with themselves. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and aligned in your life.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each person. I focus on creating a safe, supportive space where you can be honest and feel truly heard. Together, we’ll explore patterns, emotions, and experiences that may be keeping you stuck, while also building practical tools you can use in everyday life. I move at your pace and believe therapy works best when it feels human, respectful, and empowering.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a relaxed conversation where we get to know each other. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, what you’re hoping for, and what feels most important right now. There’s no pressure to share everything at once. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, supported, and clearer about next steps, and whether working together feels like a good fit.
