I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor working with adults and couples experiencing an array of issues including: anxiety, depression, life transitions, low self-esteem, grief, relationship conflict and dissatisfaction, and infidelity. My approach to therapy is client centered and incorporates multiple evidence based practices including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Gottman Method Couples Therapy. 

I believe that we all have inner strengths that can be tapped and utilized to help ourselves heal and live the lives we dream of. As a therapist I try to help my clients identify their strengths and live their lives with greater self-awareness and confidence. 

I feel privileged and humbled to accompany my clients on the journey that counseling is. It is a process that often requires vulnerability and hard work but the payoff can be life changing. I aim to provide my clients with a supportive and warm space to do the work of counseling and effectively assist them toward meeting their goals. 

I obtained my Masters of Science in Counseling from Loyola University Maryland and completed Level 1 and Level 2 clinical training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy.
