Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC). I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology from University of Maryland University College, a Master of Science Degree in Marriage & Family Counseling Therapy and a PhD in Advanced Studies in Human Behavior from Capella University.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in working with couples who are navigating relationship challenges and looking to strengthen their connection. My approach is supportive, compassionate, and encouraging, with an emphasis on creating a safe and comfortable space where both partners feel heard and understood. Together, we explore underlying concerns and develop practical, meaningful solutions. In my work, I draw from evidence-based approaches such as the Gottman Method, Solution-Focused Therapy, CBT, Prepare-Enrich, and trauma-informed practices to help couples build healthier, more resilient relationships.

What you can expect from me

In therapy we will create therapy goals and a treatment plan to guide us through your therapy journey. I also provide homework in many sessions to help in reaching goals. We will discuss issues, problem solve, dive-deep at times and overall help to reach your goals better your overall well-being.
