About Me

    As a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor with a strong background as a school counselor, I specialize in supporting adolescents and young adults through personalized and compassionate care. Certified as an Anxiety & Stress Management Specialist and licensed in Maryland, I focus on a range of challenges including self-esteem, confidence, trauma, family and relationship issues. My practice is dedicated to creating a nurturing space where young people can freely express themselves and navigate the complexities of growing up. During our initial sessions, we work to establish a foundation for growth and healing, empowering clients to move from feeling victimized by circumstances to mastering their own lives.

    In therapy, I employ a client-centered approach, emphasizing a supportive and nonjudgmental environment for individuals to explore their feelings and thoughts. I am committed to active listening and empathizing, guiding clients on a personalized journey towards self-discovery and empowerment. The aim is to equip adolescents and young adults with the necessary skills to manage identity formation, academic pressures, and emotional regulation, enhancing resilience and self-awareness.

    With extensive experience in anxiety and stress management, I also focus on helping youth tackle developmental challenges effectively. Having served as an Equity Liaison, I lead with a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, enriching my practice with culturally competent care. My therapeutic style is genuine, fun, and encouraging, allowing me to connect authentically with clients and provide holistic guidance that addresses both emotional and practical needs, helping young people achieve their full potential.

    About Me

      As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a specialization in a wide range of therapeutic areas including ADHD, adoption issues, anxiety, behavioral challenges, and more, I am deeply committed to supporting children and teens, especially those experiencing crises.

      My practice is rooted in trauma-informed care and an understanding of child and adolescent development, enabling me to effectively guide young clients through the complexities of their emotions and experiences. This approach is crucial in helping them navigate school issues, peer relationships, family conflicts, and their own personal challenges related to self-esteem and mental health.

      Incorporating Strengths-Based Therapy, I focus on identifying and cultivating each client’s innate resources and qualities, transforming various life stressors into opportunities for resilience building and growth. My therapeutic strategy involves creating personalized treatment plans that employ coping strategies tailored to the unique needs of each child and teen. This not only addresses their immediate concerns but also fosters a sustained, positive outlook towards life’s challenges.

      My journey in social work has been driven by a profound desire to help others, inspired by witnessing resilience and triumph in diverse settings—from elderly care to working with children, teens, and treatment foster families. These experiences have enriched my understanding of resilience across life stages, enhancing my ability to support not just adults but also the younger individuals who are navigating their formative years. It is a privilege to guide my clients on their paths to self-discovery and healing, equipping them with the confidence and skills to overcome adversity with strength and grace.

      About Me

        My goal as your psychotherapist is to engage you in a collaborative process that promotes healing and self-determination. I firmly believe in our innate ability to make changes, love ourselves, and feel empowered.

        Many of us aspire not only to work through or cope with our pain and suffering but also to embark on a journey of self-discovery, find meaning in our lives, build resilience, and achieve inner peace. My purpose and passion lie in empowering you to tap into your internal resources and develop skill-based coping strategies to create a fulfilling life.

        My approach to therapy involves creating a supportive, open, and non-judgmental environment. I have experience working with individuals struggling with eating disorders, self-harm, anxiety, and depression. My goals include fostering positive self-esteem, body image, and self-worth in my clients while also supporting parents whose children struggle with eating disorders and anxiety.

        In addition to my expertise in eating disorders, my experience encompasses anxiety, oppression, trauma, grief, social skills, developmental concerns, ADHD, and depression. I enjoy working with children, teens, adults, couples, and families, employing a variety of techniques such as Family-Based Therapy, Emotion-Focused Family Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.

        Together, let’s embark on a vibrant and fulfilling journey, transforming life’s challenges into opportunities for growth, healing, and self-discovery in a warm, cheery, and compassionate atmosphere.
