I work with children, adults, families, and couples. I work to help strengthen the development of parenting skills, boundary setting, communication, decision making and behavioral management. I assist with the development of emotional intelligence including self-awareness, self-regulation, social skills, and empathy for others. For children, I see ages 6+.
I am a licensed clinical professional counselor earning my Ph.D. in Counselor Education & Supervision. I taught Human Growth & Dev. and Human Sexuality at Stevenson U. I am fully trained in EMDR. I am a Couples Infidelity Repair Specialist and a MD. Approved LGPC Supervisor. I began my career in 2012. I am licensed in MD/PA/OH/MO & FL. I am fully telehealth!
I provide an empathetic yet, direct, safe, non-judgmental environment demonstrating compassion and understanding that allows you to express yourself. I help clients manage their symptoms. My goal is to help you become more resilient, manifest, and align! I have daytime, lunchtime, evening, and weekend availability! I am OON or can offer an out of pocket rate
