Welcome! Here’s a little bit about me…

Building a trusting and friendly relationship with all of my clients is something that I genuinely enjoy. I believe in giving you the space and time to process feelings, confront difficult issues, and discover new ways of adjusting and adapting to life’s many curveballs. The healing power of taking time out for yourself and feeling heard by another person is sometimes underestimated. I often say that therapy appointments are like your container with a lid; come in, take the lid off, and let everything out. When it’s time to go, we’ll put the lid back on so you can return to your daily grind.

Since 2009, I have provided individual therapy for adults age 18 and older. My approach is always first guided by what your individualized needs may be. Additionally, I am trained in and utilize concepts from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused treatment to help you get "unstuck." I work with clients struggling with grief and loss (both death and non-death losses), anxiety, depression, stress or anger management, setting and maintaining boundaries, and feelings of low self-worth. I also have experience counseling current and former athletes and adults with ADHD/Executive Function Disorder history.

Providing clinical supervision to graduate-licensed therapists is also a passion of mine. I have been a Maryland Board Approved Clinical Supervisor since 2014 and love helping other therapists fine-tune their skills and achieve advanced licensure. Regularly mentoring local undergraduate students who are considering careers in the counseling/psychology field is another outlet I really enjoy.

I am a native Marylander and enjoy free time spent with my husband, son, and rescued black lab. I am proud to practice out of The Beacon Center in Arnold, Maryland alongside a group of wonderful colleagues and friends. My pronouns are she/her/hers.

Reaching out for therapy can feel daunting and I am happy to take things at your pace. I look forward to getting to know you and helping you create some meaningful, positive change in your life.
