It is my pleasure to be able to offer in-person or video counseling for convenience and access to Christian Counseling. I am interested in working with those who have broken hearts, anyone affected by divorce, relationships, boundary issues, depression, anxiety, family system dynamics, co-dependency, past childhood abuse, domestic violence, mother/father wounding, family dysfunction and those seeking spiritual growth. I enjoy identifying underlying causes of what keeps us stuck. Uncovering why we do the things we do can help assist in the goal of freedom. It is my personal view that we look at the roots not the symptoms to make a difference. You will grow in Emotional Intelligence.
I graduated from Liberty University with a Masters Degree in Professional Counseling. Previously I completed my undergraduate work at Towson University with majors in Broadcast Journalism and Political Science.
I am a Christian Counselor and I have a heart for those who are hurting. I only work with individuals age 18+. I do not take health insurance. Licensed in both Maryland and Virginia.
