About me
As a licensed therapist in Maryland, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on helping clients develop resilience, self-compassion, and effective coping strategies while addressing challenges like anxiety, depression, life transitions, and social dynamics.
I'm passionate about creating a supportive environment where individuals can explore their inner experiences, heal from past wounds, and cultivate meaningful personal growth. My therapeutic work focuses on empowering clients to understand themselves more deeply, improve communication skills, and develop healthier relationship patterns.
My expertise spans a wide range of mental health concerns, including stress management, grief processing, workplace challenges, and women's mental health. I work collaboratively with clients, honoring their unique experiences and strengths while providing compassionate, evidence-based guidance toward emotional wellness and personal transformation.
