I'm an licensed therapist (LCPC) in Baltimore with extensive experience providing psychotherapy to people from diverse backgrounds. My goal as a therapist is to create a supportive environment in which my client, regardless of age, feels comfortable and able to grow emotionally. I have experience working with individuals looking to free themselves from addiction, providing healing to victims of domestic abuse, and helping individuals with complex mental health diagnoses develop meaningful, purpose - driven lives. I also have experience couples improve their relationships on all levels.
My goal is to help alleviate emotional pain, achieve healthy relationships, and maximize personal growth through a therapeutic partnership that emphasizes a deeper understanding of self and others in a nonjudgmental, empathetic environment.
As a person - centered existential therapist, your needs are the centerpiece of therapy, and our relationship will provide you with the comfort to address them. Based on your particular thinking style and personality, I utilize psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and existential modalities.
