(she/her)
Hey, Darling! I am the Owner of Adora Wellness & Consulting Services, and a Licenced Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland. My passion for helping others started before I could walk. I received a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology, with a concentration in Child and Adolescent Therapy from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology and have been an advocate for mental health for over 10 years. I love helping children, teens, and young adults, as well as parents through anxiety, depression, burnout, and behavioral and family issues. Let's unlock the best version of you together!
In our first session together, we'll spend time getting to know each other through brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. Then, I'll partner with you to create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
My greatest strength as a clinician is my ability to connect with my clients. Mental health has been a part of both my personal and professional life, and those experiences have allowed me to work with children and adolescents in a variety of settings, support parents navigating emotions and behaviors at home and in school, college students and young professionals navigating a major life transition, and mothers who are trying to regain their identity. First-hand experience in these areas, unconditional empathy for others is what helps me.
I love helping children (4-12), teens (13-17), and young and professional adults (18-40), as well as parents who want support with anxiety, depression, grief, burnout, school difficulties, and behavioral and family issues.

Person-centered (Rogerian)
As a person-centered therapist, our therapeutic relationship is the top priority. I allow you to decide what and how we explore your pressing topics, and I partner with you on unpacking and working through them.
Eclectic
Through my education, research, and training as a therapist, I have learned and experimented with many therapeutic techniques to support my clients. As a result, I have adapted several techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to change unhelpful ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving; dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to support clients with understanding and accepting their emotions, and learning to manage them; and mindfulness to help you increase awareness through meditation and relaxation.
