Welcome! I am very glad you are here. I am licensed in Maryland with 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with Challenging Situations or Life Stressors, Aging and Geriatric Issues, Pregnancy and Child Birth, PTSD, Infidelity, Depression, Stress and Anxiety, Trauma and Abuse, Self Esteem Issues, Parenting Issues, Separation and Divorce, Adjustment Issues, Emotional Support for Terminal Illness, Grief and Loss Issues, and Relationship Conflict & Concerns. A safe, non judgmental, supportive environment is key to bringing about the changes clients are seeking in their lives and in their relationships. It is my primary goal to create that environment for you. Additionally, I bring a large scope of therapeutic training and experience that allows me to utilize a blend of approaches to counseling dealing with a wide range of concerns. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the most important element of a helpful counseling experience. Your issues, concerns, personal history, and worldview will inform our work together. I will strive to provide a safe and consistent relationship with you while challenging you to examine how you relate with the world around you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
