Welcome! You deserve to feel heard, understood, and supported. As a dedicated mental health counselor, I offer a safe, compassionate space where you can explore challenges, gain clarity, and work toward the life you envision. Counseling helps uncover solutions, navigate obstacles, and embrace personal growth. Through a collaborative approach built on trust and respect, we’ll find strategies tailored to your journey. It’s a privilege to walk alongside clients ready to embrace change and live with intention, fulfillment, and confidence.
Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face them alone. I provide a safe, supportive space where you can heal, grow, and build resilience. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, or life transitions, I’ll help you discover strategies that empower you to move forward with clarity and confidence. We journey together.
Cost should never be a barrier to getting the support you need. I accept Cigna, BCBS, CareFirst BlueChoice, and United Healthcare. For those without insurance, I offer reasonable rates and a sliding fee scale to ensure financial concerns don’t stand in the way of your well-being. Let’s find a solution that works for you.
