Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counsellor (LCPC) based in Maryland, and have been practicing for 8 years. I help teens and young/mature adults navigate their challenges and become the best versions of themselves. A big part of my practice is empowering my clients with coping skills so they feel they are able to maintain the progress they make from treatment.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, you will have a space to share the concerns that brought you to treatment. I will also ask questions that will help me gain an understanding for the present concerns, and learn some of your history that will assist me with creating a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a provider who has worked with clients from various backgrounds and ages, I believe I bring an understanding and non-judgemental compassion to treatment that allows clients a safe space to unpack their concerns and learn strategies to help navigate their way through challenges in their life.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
My ideal clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed, and anxious about navigating challenges as they arise. I love working with teens as they are managing feelings that come with maturing such as changes, and pressures. I also enjoy helping women navigate typical challenges such as imposter syndrome, careers, anxiety, relationship challenges, and decision-making.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In treatment, cognitive behavioral therapy helps the client recognize automatic negative thoughts, explores common cognitive distortions, like catastrophizing or black-and-white thinking, and the client learns to question the accuracy of their thoughts and replace them with more balanced, realistic ones. In treatment, I also introduce behavioral strategies to change unhelpful habit. Clients learn stress management, relaxation techniques, problem-solving skills, and emotional regulation.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
In treatment, I work with clients to identify key issues, and establish goals such as reducing impulsive behaviors, improving distress tolerance, or enhancing interpersonal effectiveness. Sessions focus on problem-solving, emotional processing, and reinforcing skill use.
