As a licensed therapist in Maryland, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on addressing stress, anxiety, grief, and challenges related to self-esteem and career development. I am deeply committed to creating a compassionate, affirming space where clients can explore their experiences and work towards personal growth.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in understanding the unique intersections of identity, mental health, and lived experience. I focus on supporting individuals through diverse challenges, including social anxiety, isolation, communication difficulties, and issues related to life purpose. With a trauma-informed and culturally responsive lens, I aim to help clients develop resilience, self-compassion, and effective coping strategies.
I bring a genuine, empathetic approach to therapy, believing that every individual has inherent strength and capacity for healing. My goal is to walk alongside you, offering supportive guidance as you navigate your personal journey of self-discovery and transformation.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
