Imagine waking up ready to take on the world — you can!
At Adams Counseling, our clinicians combine compassion with expertise to help you navigate life’s challenges and find balance. With backgrounds in education, crisis support, advocacy, and specialized EMDR training, we provide the support you need to heal and thrive.
In addition, I am a Maryland Board-Approved Supervisor, offering supervision for LGPCs both individually and within my practice. My focus is on fostering professional growth, confidence, and strong clinical skills in the next generation of counselors.
I specialize in trauma-focused care using CPT and EMDR, with over 10 years of experience supporting survivors of intimate partner violence and sexual assault. I’m passionate about helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges with compassion, resilience, and hope.
We address challenges with care and effectiveness. We understand life's struggles and aim to offer hope and practical tools for healing. Let's create a nurturing space where you can grow, achieve your goals, and find focus. You're not alone—ACS is here to support you. You can contact us by phone or email through our website.
