Great to meet you!

I have a MS degree in Clinical Counseling from Loyola University Maryland, in Columbia, Maryland. I have been a licensed therapist in Maryland since 2018.

I enable Individual clients to access all their strengths in order to reflect, acknowledge and achieve set goals in a supported manner. Cognitive behavioral therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, spirituality and mindfulness, EMDR, and other techniques assist in encouraging and supporting wellness.

My approach to therapy

I provide clients with a nonjudgmental, empathetic, and safe space to help them improve their quality of life and their greater well-being.

I work with a myriad of clients from differing backgrounds, ethnicities, and faith traditions, operating under many different relationship models. I have experience working with LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC clients, and clients with alternative relationship configurations, including polyamorous, kink, and other non-traditional practices.

What you can expect from me

I believe that therapy and the therapeutic relationship I build with clients provides a space to make healing, self-awareness, and personal growth more attainable. In my experience I have found that people have the tools and strengths they need to overcome difficulties, and regain the path to the successful future they envision. My goals in providing therapy are to give clients access to those tools and strengths, and support them in their growth.
