Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania and a Licenced Clinical Professional Counselor in Maryland. I got my MS in Mental Health Counseling from Walden University. I've been practicing in Maryland for 10 years and in Pennsylvania for the last two. I help people struggling with all kinds of long and short term stressors access their strengths to improve their lives and decrease their suffering.
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.
Having worked with all kinds of human beings in the last 10 years, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) access your strengths and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
I love working with individuals who are having difficulties accessing their inner strengths, who at times are self-critical, but want to break free of these unhelpful through loops. My clients have glimpses of their best selves, but often pick themselves apart for any mistakes and/or believe others do as well. They often feel anxious, overwhelmed, and have chronic pain issues.
I have 2 years of experience using EMDR to help people change patterns in their lives caused by trauma. I received basic training in 2023 and am planning on starting EMDR consultation to become certified very soon. Trauma, whether in childhood or adulthood, leaves an indelible mark on the life of those involved; often painfully so. However, time and again I've seen EMDR heal the often times maladaptive patterns that trauma causes leading my client's to feel more freedom, creativity, and less suffering.
