Licensed to practice in Maryland and accepts 26 insurances. Specializes in Anxiety, Trauma and PTSD, Women's Issues
I'm Phranci (pronounced Frankie), a licensed professional counselor (LCPC) specializing in trauma, PTSD, EMDR, and sex-positive therapy for individuals . I offer a culturally responsive, affirming space where we’ll collaboratively address anxiety, relationship struggles, identity concerns, and trauma wounds. Whether you’re single, in a relationship, or somewhere in between, I’m here to support you in cultivating a healthy, meaningful life filled with abundant relationships.
During the first session, the focus will be getting to know you as a client and understanding what is bringing you to therapy. I help clients set goals that feel meaningful, realistic, and aligned with their values and lived experiences. In our work together, we’ll clarify what healing looks like for you. Whether that’s reducing anxiety, improving relationships, building self-trust, or processing trauma. We’ll regularly check in to make sure your goals stay relevant and supportive as your journey unfolds.
My communication style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I aim to create a space where clients feel both supported and gently challenged, using active listening and honest dialogue to help you explore your experiences. I speak with care and clarity, and I tailor my approach to meet you with patience, cultural awareness, and deep respect for your journey.
I prioritize creating a supportive, affirming space for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ clients, where your full identity is seen and respected. I bring a calm, grounded presence to sessions to help you process trauma, explore your identity, and build healthier relationships. You can expect me to listen without judgment, move at your pace, and walk with you as a compassionate partner in your healing.

EMDR
As a trauma therapist, I specialize in helping people heal and gain clarity through EMDR therapy. Eye Movement Desensitization (EMDR) is a powerful tool that can be used to heal trauma, reprocess tough memories, and free yourself from the emotional weight keeping you stuck. Whether you’re single, in a relationship, or somewhere in between, I’m here to support you in cultivating a healthy, meaningful life filled with abundant relationships.
