I’m an open, accepting individual with a genuine passion for helping people. From an early age, I found myself drawn to understanding others and supporting them through their challenges. Listening has always come naturally to me, and over time it became clear that I have a talent for identifying blind spots, offering perspective, and guiding people toward solutions. What I do doesn’t feel like work — it feels like a gift. Helping others gain clarity, grow, and move forward is something I truly treasure.

I’m a licensed clinical professional counselor with over 15 years of experience working with teens (13+), adults, couples, and families across Maryland. I provide a warm, supportive space where clients can feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change. I work with a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). I also support clients navigating relationship challenges, including couples issues, divorce, co-parenting, codependency, and family conflict. I have a special passion for working with pregnancy and parenting-related concerns, including infertility, miscarriage, postpartum depression and anxiety, and adjusting to new parenthood. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and tailored to your unique needs. Together, we’ll focus on building insight, improving coping skills, and helping you move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

I am a bilingual, independent clinical social worker with a background in public health and more than 18 years of experience in both physical and mental health care. Over the past seven years, my focus has been on providing mental health therapy to individuals seeking meaningful change and personal growth. In my practice, I work collaboratively with clients to deepen their self-awareness, explore the emotional and relational aspects of their experiences, and identify patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that influence daily life. My goal is to empower clients to build effective coping skills, navigate life’s challenges with confidence, and enhance their overall well-being. I am fluent in Amharic and offer therapy in both English and Amharic to best support the needs of my clients.

I’m a born-and-raised New Yorker, raised by Caribbean immigrant parents who instilled in me the classic Millennial mantra: “You can achieve anything.” And while that belief fueled my ambition, it also came with a side order of generational challenges—perfectionism, chronic stress, anxiety, and a not-so-charming inability to gracefully handle life transitions. You know, the usual. But here’s the thing: hardship turned out to be my superpower. I became ambitious, self-aware, and checked all the right boxes, yet I couldn’t escape the cycle of mental and emotional roadblocks that left me feeling stuck, wondering how to truly move forward. This insight shaped not only my path but the way I guide others on theirs. Through my clinical work, I help high achieving millennials identify their patterns to move out of survival mode and into their surplus by bridging the gap between knowing and feeling —because being stuck isn’t who you are, and settling isn’t your story.

You've always been the strong one. Right? As a bilingual Asian therapist (English/Mandarin) with over four years of clinical experience at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center's Community Psychiatry Program, I walked alongside adults through their darkest and brightest chapters — from life’s most overwhelming moments to recovery and the gradual return of joy. Through that experience, I witnessed how someone could radiate warmth for everyone around them while quietly burning out within. I specialize in supporting high-functioning individuals navigating people-pleasing, social anxiety, and interpersonal burnout, whether that shows up as persistent self-doubt, intrusive thoughts that feel impossible to shake, or an overwhelming need to keep others happy at your own expense. You are not alone, and it doesn't have to stay this way. I draw on an integrative approach across CBT, ERP, MI, and EMDR, tailored to who you are, where you have been, and where you want to go, committed to providing a safe and nurturing space for you to explore, heal, and grow.

Hi! Hola (hablamos español)--I'm Jose. I've spent over 10 years working with people navigating some of the hardest parts of life--anxiety, depression, trauma, family stress, and everything in between. I've worked across schools, community programs, residential treatment, and inpatient care, which means I've sat with people at many stages of struggle, not just the polished version. Outside of work, I'm a mountain biker, a soccer player, a music lover (English and Spanish--anything with a good beat), and a proudly colorblind person who spent three years of college convinced his favorite shoes were brown. They were green. We all have blind spots. That's kind of the whole point. Therapy works best when it feels like a real conversation--not a performance. I'm not here to have all the answers or hand you a list of things to fix. I'm here to think alongside you, challenge you when it's useful, and create space for the kind of honesty that's hard to find anywhere else. I believe people are more than the title they carry--parent, partner, professional, caregiver. You're a whole person navigating a complicated life, and that's what we work with here.
