Family therapy and counseling in Frederick, MD

As a therapist and social worker, I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered. I understand that seeking therapy can feel vulnerable, and I value building authentic therapeutic relationships grounded in trust, compassion, and collaboration.

My approach is holistic, culturally responsive, and client-centered. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, burnout, self-esteem concerns, and emotional overwhelm. I also have a special interest in women’s mental health, including perinatal and postpartum mental health, identity development, and helping professionals manage burnout.

I believe therapy should feel like a space where you do not have to “have it all together.” Together, we will explore patterns, strengthen coping skills, improve communication, and work toward meaningful, sustainable growth at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Clients often describe me as compassionate, relatable, thoughtful, and easy to talk to. My goal is to help you feel supported while also challenged toward healing, self-awareness, and lasting change.

Many people seek out therapy because, despite their best efforts to change, they might end up in the same cycles. These cycles of behavior are driven by our life experiences and long-standing behavior patterns. Together, we will explore these patterns so that we can begin to create understanding of our motivations and create space for positive change.
