I’m a licensed therapist in Maryland with 15 years of experience helping adults, teens, and veterans overcome trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use addictions, grief, and co-occurring disorders. Using a client-centered, strength-based approach, and holistic approach with Christian counseling principles, I guide clients toward emotional healing, resilience, and renewed purpose.
I provide trauma-focused therapy, addiction counseling, and holistic mental health care, integrating CBT and client-centered approaches to address underlying causes, strengthen coping skills, and foster lasting behavioral and emotional change.
I offer a safe, compassionate space to process emotions, explore challenges, and grow spiritually and emotionally. You don’t have to face struggles alone—together we’ll restore hope, purpose, and balance in your life.
