Hello, I am a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) based in Maryland. I received my Master's from McDaniel College and have been practicing for 8 years. I help children and adults work through current life stressors in a supportive and empathetic manner. I work with clients to understand their needs and work with them to develop the skills and techniques to become the best version of themselves. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and depression.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session, we will start with introductions and explore your current stressors and work on developing goals for future sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgement. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with clients that want to incorporate their faith into their therapy. I am a Christain based therapist who uses faith-based approaches utilizing psychological and spiritual techniques to support and guide clients in their journey.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have used CBT in my practice to help clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and behaviors. I focus on what is going on your current life and we work on developing skills to be able to move forward and develop effective ways of coping with what life throws at us. I will work with you to create an understanding of the skills needed to make changes, eliminate problematic behaviors and emotions, and promote change.
Christian Counseling
I utilize Christian Counseling Services in therapy to integrate spiritual, biblical, and faith based teachings with traditional counseling methods. This allows for clients to overcome emotional, relational, and psychological struggles. Clients will be encouraged to heal emotionally and find their purpose in life to guide them towards complete wellness. Clients will have the opportunity to improve their mental health while growing in their faith.
Family Therapy
Family therapy provides a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment for the entire family to work through the current issues within the family. You will learn to incorporate healthy behaviors to improve the overall function f the family and well-being.
