Mental health is not just about our emotions or thoughts. It affects our physical, social, spiritual, and communal well-being. It is all connected, and all important. This is why I use an integrative, holistic approach to therapy that focuses on the whole person, rather than symptoms or a diagnosis. I come with an inclusive, anti-oppressive, feminist perspective. Sessions can include a variety of "tools", including reflection, art and creativity, mindfulness, and other practices that are meaningful to you. Harmony Tree Counseling & Wellness is about nurturing a deeper sense of well-being and connection to live the life you want.

Oakland, MD 21550
Some times life situations and events can knock us off our feet and turn our lives upside down, leaving us to wonder if we can ever recover and put the pieces of our lives back together again. We all have a story and I believe that we all have the ability to rewrite that story. We can choose to be the victim of our circumstances or we can choose to be the victor. All human beings have the inborn tendency toward growth and self -actualization.

My ideal client is someone who feels a pull to understand themselves more deeply. They may come in with surface-level struggles such as stress, relationship challenges, career uncertainty, or a sense of being stuck. At the same time, they’re curious about the deeper patterns that shape these struggles-recurring themes, limiting beliefs, or unresolved experiences that continue to influence their lives.
