Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with over 18 years of experience, proudly serving clients in Maryland and Virginia. I hold a Master’s degree from Towson University and specialize in supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, and life transitions. My goal is to help clients gain clarity, build resilience, and move toward becoming their most authentic and empowered selves.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, we’ll start with brief introductions and then explore the specific challenges you’re currently facing. This conversation will help me better understand your goals and allow us to begin developing a personalized plan to guide our work together in future sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

With 18 years of experience working with children, adults, and couples, I’ve developed a proven approach to therapy that helps clients identify the root causes of their challenges and build a personalized plan for meaningful, measurable progress.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I specialize in helping individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about their path forward—particularly when navigating career stress and life transitions. My clients are often driven and eager to improve, but haven’t yet found the tools or support they need to make lasting change. In our work together, we focus on untangling anxiety, building emotional resilience, and creating clarity, so you can move toward a life that feels more balanced, purposeful, and aligned with who you truly are.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have received formal training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and have applied its principles extensively across diverse clinical populations. My experience includes working with individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, adjustment issues, and interpersonal conflict. Through supervision and continued professional development, I have refined my ability to use CBT as both a structured and flexible treatment model tailored to the unique needs of each client. CBT is grounded in the understanding that our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected. In practice, I use CBT to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, develop more adaptive coping skills, and shift behavior patterns that may be reinforcing emotional distress. The therapy is collaborative, goal-oriented, and often includes structured activities such as thought records, behavioral experiments, and homework assignments.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

I have cultivated significant experience using Mindfulness-Based Therapy (MBT) as a core element of my therapeutic approach, particularly in the treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional dysregulation, and stress-related concerns. Drawing from models such as Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), I use this approach to help clients develop a greater sense of awareness, presence, and emotional balance. Mindfulness-Based Therapy involves teaching clients to focus their attention on the present moment in a nonjudgmental way. This practice allows individuals to recognize and shift their relationship to distressing thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations. Through mindful observation, clients learn to interrupt automatic, reactive patterns and instead respond with greater clarity and self-compassion.
