Thank you for viewing my profile. I am currently accepting new clients via telehealth. I like to make scheduling more conducive and less complex for my clients therefore, my scheduling is not rigid to only posted availability. I offer clients a wide range of availability with scheduling (to include evenings and weekends)....which can be arranged via email or phone consultation. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Maryland. I am Trauma Certified, National Certified Counselor and board-certified member of the National Board of Certified Counselors. I earned my master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Liberty University. I believe the client is the expert in their situation and work with the client to assist them in reaching their maximal potential. I also realize how important it is to identify all aspects of an individual’s life that impact their well-being including their physical health, support systems, work or school environment, and faith/spirituality in this process. My therapeutic approach is diverse, eclectic, and curtailed to the individual not a “one size fits all”.
First and foremost my biggest strength is I provide a listening ear...not every situation requires the need for immediate advice, suggestions and resolution.
First session
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Strengths
I believes in making a profound impact on the lives of individuals by giving them hope. I aim to explore all possible ways in which I can make a positive change. First and foremost my biggest strength is I provide a listening ear...not every situation requires the need for immediate advice, suggestions and resolution. I provide empathy, understanding, support, encouragement and compassion for each client. I work to provide adults, children, couples, and families with tailored treatment plans that can be integrated into their daily lives.
Ideal clients
I love working with various clients....I have an eclectic approach (from young children to older adults) as I believe everyone deserves a chance and has the potential to be a better them. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed, misunderstood and anxious about life.
