About

I am a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) based in Maryland with four years of experience as a licensed counselor. I have worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, difficulty managing life stressors, ADHD, and trauma. I can help you to recognize and explore feelings, resolve conflicts, work through difficult behaviors and impulses, reduce anxiety, improve mood, and increase self-esteem. Prior to licensure I served as a crisis counselor on the National Suicide Hotline and am a certified Suicidologist, as well as a trauma-informed counselor. I help to normalize difficult thoughts and feelings and provide concrete supports and tools to help manage them.

My counseling style is warm and accepting, and I embrace partnership with clients. I use humor frequently in sessions, but will always honor your story with respect. My approach builds strongly from your strengths, combining humanistic, cognitive-behavioral, and dialectical-behavioral approaches (and it is fully okay if you don’t know what those are). I tailor approaches based on each client’s needs and therapy goals.

If you feel like we might be a good match, or even if you are unsure, I encourage you to reach out and take that step. I am here to support you, and I look forward to working with you.
