I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a National Board Certified Counselor (NCC) practicing in the state of Maryland. I hold a Doctorate in Counseling Education and Supervision from Liberty University. My clinical approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, and I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. I am currently working toward becoming an EMDR Consultant and a Certified Trauma Specialist. In addition, I have completed specialized training in the assessment and treatment of ADHD in both adolescents and adults.
Our first session will focus on introductions and a thorough intake process. This is an important step in getting to know you and understanding your unique needs. The information we gather helps us create a personalized treatment plan that supports your goals and overall well-being.
One of my greatest strengths as a provider is offering support and validation in a way that helps clients feel truly heard—without fear of judgment. I work to identify the root causes of emotional and behavioral challenges and help clients build practical skills to manage their symptoms and improve their daily functioning.
I love working with adolescents and adults who have experienced trauma or who struggle with managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, or ADHD. My clients are motivated to improve their well-being, but often need support in developing the tools and skills to manage their symptoms effectively. I strive to create a warm, safe, and supportive environment—one where healing is taken seriously, but where there's also room for genuine connection and a good dose of humor.
I have been trained in EMDR for trauma and stressor related disorders. I have found it to be an effective treatment for depression, anxiety, ADHD and OCD. Dozens of clients have found relief of their symptoms with this treatment modality and pairing it with CBT and DBT techniques to change thinking and reduce emotional reactions triggers.
I have specialized training with Christian Counseling. Clients choose whether or not to integrate biblical principles with counseling skills.
Learning about how thinking, emotions, and behaviors contribute to anxiety and depression symptoms and exacerbates ADHD and trauma symptoms has given hope to clients. Developing the skills necessary to challenge recurring thoughts and reframing them in to more positive realistic thoughts changes your thinking patterns to feel less anxiety and stress.
