I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, who studied at Loyola University of Maryland, earning a Masters in Clinical Psychology. I have over ten years of experience working with children, families, adults, groups and couples. I have specialized experience working with women and families to manage behavior and impulse-control issues. I utilize an eclectic approach that is strengths-based and tailored to fit my clients' needs. My approach is influenced by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness practices, Trauma-Focused and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

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

In our first session together, I will introduce myself and ask you some questions about what brought you in for therapy. I will ask you some questions about your history and what you want to focus on. I will provide you with information about what to expect in future sessions and about therapy in general. At the end, I will give you a brief summary of what I am hearing, to make sure I understand your needs. You will also get the chance to ask me questions about what our work together might be like. I love questions and collaborating with you. I also understand if you may not know right away where you want to start. The first step can be the hardest: I got you.

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

My clients report that they appreciate my warmth, unconditional positive regard, directness, solution-focus and sense of humor. I can see the function of any symptom. This means I can see the strengths in all people, regardless of how they see their own shortcomings, without resorting to toxic positivity.
