About me

***Video sessions are available upon request***

Greetings, I am a licensed clinical professional counselor in the state of Maryland. My experience includes over one decade of assisting persons related to career difficulties, the loss of a loved one to suicide, the loss of sight and sound, life changes (planned and unplanned), criminal justice involvement (including sex offenses), moving forward after being a victim of a crime, caring for elderly parents as well as loved ones of all ages who have special needs. In addition, I am experienced in assisting persons who have the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) trait/ Sensory Processing Sensitivity, need help establishing boundaries, and in identifying techniques for dealing with people different from themselves (politically, economically, etc.) as well as with those who are simply difficult.

While I can assist clients with almost any life circumstance, I am the counselor for the client who wants to take a goal oriented approach to better mental health. My focus is to empower clients through their circumstance by affording organization, strategy and a host of therapeutic interventions.

This means, if you decide to work with me, you are ready to build an action plan, set goals and do homework.


My motto: better is possible. Better coping, outcomes, focus, relationships, etc. is possible. 



I use a combination of cognitive behavior therapy, (which involves assessing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors then developing ways to make changes in those areas to feel and function better), Solution Focused Therapy (focusing more on how to move forward instead of how an issue arose), Rational Emotive therapy (a direct approach that includes teaching and supporting) as well as the client-centered approach (meaning that I help you find solutions on your own). Additionally, case management is a large part of my work resulting in resource recommendations to help you meet your goals.


I have a master's degree in Rehabilitation Counseling. I served as a counselor to persons who were court involved. I was an employment union chapter representative assisting people in processing their emotions and developing action plans to confront workplace injustices. I served as a hotline and mobile crisis team counselor, during which I met with clients in the community. In addition, I facilitated a support group for persons who lost loved ones to suicide.



I am here to empower and help you, not judge you. I desire to help you eradicate limiting thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so you can achieve your goals.


I am available Mondays through Thursdays during the day and evenings and some Fridays during the day. In addition, I reserve weekly time slots for clients upon request. I respond to all correspondence sent Monday through Thursday within 24 hours. For correspondence sent Friday through Sunday, I respond by Monday.

I encourage regular communication between sessions.

Bridgette is the best! She is a real therapist that actually works you through your stuff. She is not afraid to challenge your thinking and make you ask yourself questions. She 100 percent honest and keeps it real with you. I made so many gains since working with her. I highly recommend her.

Bridgette has been instrumental in guiding me through some tough aspects of my life. I've had to re-assess my mindset and be open to making small changes towards helping improving my situation. She's empathetic, thoughtful, supportive, kind and positive. I'd definitely recommend her, and really glad to be working with her on my journey.
