LPC, 12 years of experience
Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor based in Maryland. I received my Masters from Loyola University Maryland and have been practicing for 12 years. I help adolescents, young adults, and millennials understand and analyze their behaviors, thoughts, and feelings in order to ease anxiety and stay grounded. I like to help clients gain coping skills in order to overcome obstacles, problem solve, and reach full potential.
In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions, then talk about the presenting problem or the specific challenge you are experiencing.
I believe my unconditional positive regard for clients and my ability to connect with clients are my greatest strengths. These strengths contribute to the growth and success of my clients.
I love working with adolescents, young adults, and millennials who need support in their emotional, social, and academic/career development.
I have used CBT with my clients for over a decade. We will use CBT to help identify and change destructive thought patterns that have a negative influence on your emotions and behavior. Through CBT your negative thoughts will be identified, challenged, and replaced with more objective, grounded thoughts to ease anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT will help you realize that your thoughts and feelings are connected and influence each other.
SFBT is a great treatment for anyone, but as a School Counselor and an LCPC, I use this treatment method more often with adolescents and young adults. Through SFBT we will focus on solution-building and concentrate on your current circumstances and future hopes while building a plan to get there.
As a certified yoga instructor, I am very passionate about Mindfulness-Based Therapy. We will infuse mindfulness, meditation, and journaling into our sessions to promote a calmer mind and body.
