LGBT therapists in Silver Spring, MD

I am an LCPC with 27 Johns Hopkins Johns Hopkins years of private practice experience, offering an approach that is empowering, solution‐oriented, and fully accepting. I meet clients where they are and help them build practical steps toward meaningful change.

I believe mental health care should feel safe, supportive, and judgment-free. My approach is warm, collaborative, and holistic, with a focus on treating the whole person rather than just symptoms. I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, mood concerns, burnout, trauma-related challenges, and life transitions, and I strive to create a space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered throughout their healing journey.

I have been practicing therapy for about 5 years, receiving my master's degree from Saint Leo University in 2023 and my LCSW-C licensure in 2026. My main focus areas are complex trauma and attachment based issues, but I also am very effective at dealing with individuals with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and Autism.
