Hello, I'm a licensed therapist (LCPC) based in Maryland with 15 years of experience specializing in adult mental health. I support individuals in managing work and personal stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and bipolar symptoms. I integrate evidence-based approaches including CBT, attachment-based modalities, and faith-informed methods to empower my clients with effective coping strategies, healthier relationships, and personal growth. I collaborate closely with each client.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we’ll start by getting to know each other with brief introductions. I’ll then guide you through a bio-psycho-social assessment—a process that helps me understand the full picture of your physical, emotional, and social well-being. This diagnostic insight lets us pinpoint the specific challenges you're facing and clarify what you're seeking help for, so that together, we can set personalized goals and outline a tailored plan for your journey ahead.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths as a provider lie in my ability to genuinely connect with clients through active listening and empathy. I create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel fully heard and understood. By combining compassionate guidance with thoughtful challenges, I help spark meaningful growth and empower you to embrace change.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I work primarily with adults navigating the ups and downs of work and personal life. My client is someone who experiences significant stress and may be managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD, or bipolar disorder. You value evidence-based approaches and are committed to personal growth, open to exploring structured strategies like CBT, as well as integrative methods such as attachment-based and faith-informed work. If you're ready to engage actively in your healing journey, build healthier relationships, and develop effective coping strategies, I'm here to support you every step of the way.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Drawing on 15 years of experience in clinical practice, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a cornerstone for helping adults navigate a variety of challenges, including personal and work-related stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and bipolar symptoms. I integrate CBT with other therapeutic modalities to create a flexible, client-centered approach tailored to each individual's needs. Sometimes I use a structured CBT framework to clearly explain the rationale behind interventions, making it easier for clients to understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. Other times, I blend CBT principles with techniques from other approaches to support broader personal growth and development. My work is aimed at improving symptoms, establishing effective coping mechanisms, and enhancing clients’ abilities to recognize and cultivate healthy relationships—with themselves and others. I firmly believe in the power of evidence-based practices; the research supporting CBT’s effectiveness inspires my commitment to equipping clients with practical tools and strategies. Through a collaborative therapeutic relationship, I focus on empowering clients to achieve measurable improvements in their wellbeing and overall quality of life.
Attachment-based
I integrate attachment-based approaches to help clients explore and understand how early relationship patterns impact their current lives. I work with adults facing personal and work-related stress, anxiety, depression, and other challenges, guiding them to identify relational triggers and cultivate secure bonds—with themselves and others. By combining attachment-based techniques with other evidence-based modalities, I create a client-centered space that promotes emotional regulation, self-awareness, and healthier connections, ultimately supporting personal growth and improved well-being.
Faith based therapy
I recognize how essential a person's faith can be in navigating life's challenges. If a client identifies faith as a core part of their coping strategy, I seamlessly integrate those spiritual beliefs into our sessions, honoring them as a source of strength and guidance. Drawing on my own commitment to a holistic, client-centered approach, I create a safe space where faith and therapy work together to foster healing, personal growth, and resilience.
