About

Hello and welcome! I’m so glad you have decided to take this step in creating meaningful change in your life. It takes effort and energy to realize that what you're doing right now isn't working and subsequently reach out for help. Maybe you've been feeling sad, anxious or have just been off for a long time now, or maybe this is a new experience you haven't had to deal with in the past. As your therapist, I'll help you stand back and examine your life more holistically. We can often feel as though our story is set in stone, and the role we're playing can't be changed. We get stuck thinking the same thoughts, acting the same as always. I'm here to help you take those steps towards meaningful and sustainable change.
I went to the George Washington University for my Master's Degree and am licensed as a professional counselor in Maryland. My background includes training and experience treating depression, anxiety, eating disorders, trauma, relationship issues, family conflict, and life transitions. I served in the military prior to entering the counseling field, so I'm very familiar with the challenges faced by today's veterans and their families. I've also spent several years living overseas and enjoy working with expats/international clients. My counseling style is warm, compassionate, engaging and direct. The therapeutic approach depends on the client and the presenting concerns, but I typically pull in elements of CBT/ACT while remaining focused on the relationship and emotions in the room.
