As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, I want you to know that my commitment is to support you through life's challenges with a creative, affirming, and warm approach. I hold a Master's degree from Loyola University Maryland and bring a wealth of experience working with individuals across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, families, and adults. My background has equipped me to address a variety of mental health concerns, from mood disorders and life transitions to ADHD and improving frustration/distress tolerance. You'll find me to be an empathetic and authentic presence, dedicated to building a strong, trusting relationship with you. My therapeutic approach is designed to meet you where you are, drawing from a blend of effective modalities. I primarily utilize client-centered techniques, meaning our sessions will always prioritize your unique needs and goals. I also integrate acceptance-based strategies, helping you acknowledge and navigate difficult emotions, alongside cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns. Furthermore, I explore internal process techniques to deepen your understanding of your inner world. At the heart of my practice is the belief that genuine connection and trust are the foundation for meaningful progress in your psychological wellness journey. When we work together, you can expect to gain a clearer understanding of yourself and develop practical strategies to navigate life more effectively. My aim is for you to leave each session feeling heard, understood, and equipped with new insights and tools. We'll work collaboratively to untangle complexities, quiet self-doubt, and build skills that empower you to thrive. Ultimately, clients who work with me can expect to move beyond simply coping, finding greater clarity, resilience, and a renewed sense of purpose in their lives.
