With my experience in working in the mental health field for 13 years, I have had the opportunity to provide person-centered care and treatment to individuals with many types of challenges.

I work with clients through individual therapy modalities to provide active listening, support, empathy, navigating the path of life, and assisting individuals in achieving their goals.

Licensed Drug & Alcohol Counselor and Pre-LCPC in MD; Intern with C & A Behavioral Healthcare Services. Supporting adults, adolescents, and children to cope with substance use disorder and all its challenges is a proud arena I have served for over 23 years. Utilizing various counseling techniques to support treatment is standard. Treating clients with respect, empathy, and positive regard is priority. Providing Behavioral Health Crisis Management, Suicide Prevention, Trauma-Focused care wrapped in the elements of substance use with DBT and CBT engagements aligned with management care across the lifespan.

I am passionate about helping others learn and leverage their strengths and increase self-esteem. I enjoy working with clients who have ADHD or neurodiverse; have difficulty with regulating emotions and or are looking to grow their toolbox of coping skills; are sober-curious/struggling with chemical dependency (including alcohol and marijuana use) or are active in maintaining long-term recovery and/or are wondering how to cultivate better work/life balance (which may include learning how to advocate for workplace accommodations, taking time out to just BE and schedule recharge time into hectic days).

I strive to make my practice a safe and welcoming place for all people. Partnering with you, I help identify treatment goals to improve wellbeing. Some people enter therapy with a specific goal in mind, while others feel a general desire for support. In both cases, I take a collaborative, respectful approach to build upon strengths. I help you to better manage stressors, improve coping, and change thoughts, behaviors and mood. I have expertise treating PTSD, depression and anxiety with evidence-based therapies like CBT, CPT, DBT and ACT. The ultimate goal is working to improve your quality of life.

Thank you for your interest in my profile. I work with clients who need support, a clearer understanding of themselves and their environment, and are ready for change. Clients struggling with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, PTSD, grief, schizophrenia, bipolar, and personality disorders, as well as relationships, career support, aging, and other daily life issues are great candidates for therapy with me. I see individual clients of any age (however under the age of 16, parent/caregiver collaboration is required), families, and couples. I offer a kind, supportive approach, with plenty structure and self-empowerment.
