Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Cockeysville, MD

Welcome! If you are feeling stuck and seek growth through empowering, warm, solution focused therapy, you are in the right place! I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who will use evidence based practices tailored to your unique needs. My goal is to help you gain clarity and uncover the strength within to overcome current challenges.

I earned a B.A. in Music Education from Howard University in 2005 and a M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Marymount University in 2012. With extensive training and experience in mental health, education, and the arts, I service adolescents, adults, families, and artists. Specific areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and family transitions. If you are motivated and ready for change, I am here to support you on your journey to fulfillment and improved quality of life!

You should know that I take your concerns seriously, and I will meet you with compassion, respect, and zero judgment. I understand that reaching out for mental health support can feel intimidating, especially if you have faced stigma, felt dismissed in the past, or worried about what a diagnosis might mean. My goal is to help you feel safe and at ease from the very first conversation.

As a doctoral-prepared, board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over eight years of experience in psychiatric and mental health care, I work with individuals across the lifespan. I commonly support people navigating depression, anxiety, PTSD, stress-related concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other emotional or behavioral health challenges. I approach each person as a whole, not a label, and I take the time to understand your symptoms in the context of your life, your stressors, your strengths, and your goals.

In our work together, you can expect a collaborative, patient-centered approach. I believe treatment works best when you feel heard and involved, so we will discuss what you are experiencing, what has helped or not helped in the past, and what you want to be different moving forward. If medication is part of your care, I prioritize thoughtful, evidence-based decisions, clear education about options, and ongoing adjustments based on your response and preferences. I also value practical strategies and supportive guidance that you can apply between sessions.

Most importantly, I am passionate about each person I serve because I know you are important, and I recognize the courage it takes to seek help. My role is to offer steady, professional support and a trusting relationship as you work toward clarity, stability, and lasting wellness.

I help individuals and couples who feel overloaded, anxious, or stuck. Life can be exhausting when stress, anxiety and relationship problems start piling up. You might be doing everything you can to keep going, but still feeling tense, misunderstood and worn down. When things feel heavy for too long, it can impact your sleep, your confidence, and your ability to show up the way you want to.

I offer a calm, steady space where you can talk openly without judgment. My work is focused on helping you understand what you’re feeling, why it’s happening, and how to get relief. You’ll get support that feels real, straightforward, and grounded.

I have been a practicing therapist for a decade and I have special interests and certifications in addiction and perinatal mental health. I received my masters degree from the George Washington University and have a perinatal specialist certification from Postpartum Support International.

With 14 years as a psychiatric registered nurse before becoming a practitioner, I bring both clinical expertise and heartfelt understanding to every patient interaction. I strive to create a safe, judgment-free space where you can feel understood and supported. Together, we’ll explore your unique experiences, identify what’s holding you back, and develop strategies to help you move forward with confidence and hope.

As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I am proud of my 13 years of experience. I practice evidenced based medicine in psychiatry. I am passionate about my career. My clients are what I care about the most. I love to treat depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder and many more disorders. I know that there are sometimes that medications are not the answer but psychotherapy is necessary. I take my time with my clients and make sure they a part of their treatment.
