As a licensed therapist in Maryland, I bring over a decade of experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, trauma, and self-esteem issues with compassion and depth.
I specialize in addressing communication difficulties, exploring life purpose, and working through feelings of guilt, shame, and post-traumatic stress. My approach is particularly attuned to caregiver stress and control issues, offering a supportive framework for personal growth and healing.
My therapeutic style is inclusive and affirming, creating a welcoming space for diverse experiences and identities. Whether you're seeking support through faith-based perspectives or exploring personal transformation, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy, respect, and professional expertise.
I believe in empowering clients to discover their inner strengths and develop meaningful strategies for emotional well-being. Together, we can work towards understanding, forgiveness, and positive change.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
