About me:

I believe counseling provides an opportunity for discovering new ways of looking at and responding to life’s challenges in order to to make meaningful and lasting change. I work with individuals and couples to help them achieve a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships, to feel empowered, to live more authentically, and to find freedom from self-limiting thoughts and behaviors. My approach to therapy is warm, supportive and collaborative. I believe that the relationship between therapist and client is essential for healing, so I treat that relationship with the utmost respect and positive regard. When working with me, I will challenge you when I feel that you’re ready for that next little push, but will do so with compassion and care. My priority is to make sure each of my clients feel understood and validated, key components for growth. It takes courage to pursue happiness and I believe this because I’m committed to doing my own work. I don’t ask my client’s to do the work that I have not done myself.

When I’m not practicing therapy, I like to be out enjoying all that Maryland has to offer. I also enjoy Crossfit, music, reading a new therapy book, and spending time with family and friends.
