Hi there. I've lived in Maryland since 2012, and I am a fully licensed therapist. I really enjoy the work that I do, and it is my hope to meet my clients exactly where they are.

I offer both online and in-person sessions to young adults and emerging adults. I particularly help individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress management, and identity issues.
