I understand how debilitating life can be when you have experienced complex trauma and/or phobias, and I don't want to see you suffer for any longer than you already have. This is why I often utilize Accelerated Resolution Therapy(ART) during counseling. ART doesn't require you to share details of your experience, and many concerns can be addressed in 3-5 sessions! Imagine being able to go to the dentist without fear, or perhaps you'd like to just experience life without trauma constantly getting in the way. If you've been considering counseling and now feel ready to make the leap to improve your life satisfaction, I can help!

Frederick, MD 21701
Reaching out for support takes courage, and I want you to know you're not alone. Whether you're dealing with addiction, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, or stuck in the heaviness of depression, therapy can be a space to breathe, reflect, and grow. I specialize in working with adults who are navigating addiction, mood challenges, and life transitions. Many of my clients come to me feeling disconnected — from themselves, their goals, or the people they care about — and are looking for a way to reconnect and move forward.

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you often wonder if life can feel better in some way? That you could be more content? We know life can throw complex challenges our way that can change the way we view the world, our relationships and, at times, ourselves. Not taking time for yourself, and pushing away your own needs, can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. I believe these experiences can be transformed to serve as sources of empowerment and growth.
