I listen. To your story, to your pain, to the events and incidents that made you who you are today. I listen, to your goals for healing and your desires for a healthier life. This is my gift. I work with those suffering from trauma, who struggle with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, or grief and loss. I am EMDR certified. I am trained to be there for you, in a way that makes a difference.

**Now accepting CareFirst/BlueCross BlueShield Insurance** **Now providing teletherapy via a HIPPA compliant platform** At times we face challenging experiences which can cause us to feel intense and often painful emotions. When these experiences are unresolved and those emotions linger they often negatively impact how we feel about ourselves, our relationships, and our experiences past and future. My approach to therapy is to provide an environment where my clients feel safe, supported and empowered to work through those emotions and make changes which will lead to living a more fulfilling life.

Hello! thank you for reading my profile. You are here, looking for a therapist, you are taking the first important step towards healing! I believe that there is always hope, even in the most difficult circumstances. I compassionately will support your journey as you work towards self-understanding, healing and growth; focusing on living your life with purpose, meaning, and fulfillment.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, lost, or emotionally stuck? I want to hear your story and assist you in your journey towards healing. Currently I am providing therapy to children (4 years and older), adolescents, and adults.

I whole-heartedly believe in each individual's unique ability to find their true Self, the person they were meant to become. From a centered existence one is better able to make choices that promote health, supportive relationships, and passionate pursuits. At times, one may find what once was easy has become more difficult. One's emotional and perceptual landscape may become unfamiliar, what one allows others to see may not fit with how one really feels, one's path may become less certain. Therapy provides the acceptance and space with which to find oneself, perhaps for the first time.

I believe that self-empowerment is an important aspect of treatment. My objective is to work alongside you and support you while you work through the challenges that have left you, or your life, feeling unbalanced. As your therapist, I will provide a safe, encouraging, and judgment free environment where you feel empowered to identify and work through the obstacles you are facing. I practice an eclectic therapeutic approach to incorporate a variety of treatment principles in order to address the goals of each client individually and utilize client-led sessions to ensure that you are taking an active role in your treatment.

We all need therapeutic tools to navigate stressful circumstances, which occur for all of us at some point in our lives. Whether you are experiencing relationship issues, work related stress, anxiety, depression, substance use, or other concerns, I can help you develop the coping skills, communication skills, and emotional regulation skills to successfully navigate your life. I strive to help individuals achieve balance, build resilience, and to feel empowered and capable of overcoming problems that arise in their lives.

Everyone deserves to live a fulfilling and purposeful life. Let's face it- life can be hard. We are often faced with challenges that are outside of our control. Together we will identify factors within your control and discuss ways to make positive changes in your life. Using a strength-based solution-focused approach, we will strive for personal growth and healing. Concepts from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) will likely be incorporated into treatment to help modify your unhealthy thoughts and behaviors.

My work is primarily with teens and adults ages 12 and up I specialize in serving the LGBTQ+ community, first responders, addiction within the family, childhood trauma, teens with self-harm behavior, anxiety, and depression. In addition, my experience has allowed me to work effectively people from many different backgrounds. I understand that not all members of a community are the same. I look forward to taking the time to learn about what makes you unique.

Sometimes life just happens. Maybe everything is great, except for that one thing that keeps getting in the way. Or perhaps life hasn't been good for a long time. You are hurting, and you need someone to just listen and help you make sense of it all. Whether it's a road bump or a boulder, come, let's talk. I offer a listening ear, kindness and compassion during those times when life is complicated or when you need that someone to help you focus on your goals and changes you want to make. I look forward to meeting you.

My experience and training has been in development psychology and I use a family systems approach plus Marriage and Family therapy using conflict resolution techniques. I have over 20 years of experience treating substance abuse disorders/co-occurring, ACOA issues and codependency.I work closely with all psychiatrists to develop the best and most effective treatment plan. I have extensive experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Choice Theory, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy and Motivational Interviewing,

I focus on meeting people where they are, and moving at their pace. Everyone encounters "speed bumps" and some times are harder than others. My hope is that I can help you through difficult times and learn healthy ways to get through tough and see the silver linings. I have worked with individuals with wide range of needs that range from anxiety, depression, family conflict, behavioral issues, suicidal ideation, self-harm, polyamorous relationships, addictions, and more.

The decision to start therapy is an important step toward change and personal growth. It may not be an easy step but you won’t be alone. I want to help you through whatever lies ahead on your path. I will support and encourage you to express yourself in the most meaningful, genuine way possible. That may take the form of talking, art making or other creative, mindful engagement. I will provide empathic, nonjudgmental listening and create a safe space for you.

**My practice is not currently taking new clients as I am full capacity.** My passion is to assist individuals with life improvement and enrichment to promote wellness, stability and peace. Life is tough! And, depression, grief and anxiety can make even daily tasks seem daunting as it is often difficult to know where to begin, or to summon the motivation to start. Therapy provides a safe, supportive and non-judgmental setting wherein barriers to happiness can be identified, processed and overcome though the process of building insight by being heard, understood and validated.

My belief is that there is no one size fits all approach to treatment. My clients and I work together to figure out solutions that are best for them. I consider the clients as experts of their lives. I act as a facilitator providing clients with tools to help them help themselves.

I believe that everyone has within them the strength to face any challenge life brings. My duty as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker is to help people understand their problem, find that internal strength, and develop the supports needed to take back control and find success in their lives. I have been working with children, adolescents, and adults Harford County, MD for over 11 years. I have an excellent reputation among my peers and clients for successfully providing compassionate and innovative services.
