About

I am a licensed professional counselor with a Masters Degree in Counseling from Virginia Tech, a Post-Master’s Certificate in Counselor Education from the University of Maryland, and a Doctorate in Higher Education from Morgan State University. My passion for the mental health fields comes from being a part of a person’s journey of transformation, from the beginning point of confusion and frustration to the end goal of direction and confidence. It is truly a privilege to witness my clients’ discovery process as they identify their definition of success and move forward to achieving their goals and dreams.

I have 25 years experience treating adults and adolescents 13+ with various mental health and adjustment issues including anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. I specialize in assisting individuals and couples navigate life transitions related to relationships, parenting, workplace and career issues, and grief and loss. The diverse clients I have assisted include individuals and couples of all ages, racial and ethnic backgrounds, and sexual orientations.

I take a person-centered and holistic approach to better understand where clients are developmentally. I also use an integrative approach in customizing a treatment plan that works best for each client. CBT and strengths-based therapy are often utilized in helping clients identify goals and develop solutions that are meaningful to them.
