About Me

    I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who uses a client-centered approach to therapy, providing individual counseling to children (8+), adolescents, and adults. I believe it is the therapist’s role to collaborate with you wherever you are in your life through a strength-based, integrative approach in order to facilitate understanding, explore concerns, and empower you to make the changes you want to see in your life. I incorporate cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, acceptance and commitment (ACT), and mindfulness approaches to therapy. My areas of interest include treating anxiety, depression, addressing life changes, stress management, and relationship/communication issues. As an LGBTQ+ ally, I am also trained in providing LGBTQ+ affirming care.

    I graduated from Loyola University Maryland with a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology and Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. My clinical experience includes working with clients in school and outpatient community mental health settings, private practice, training in counseling victims of domestic violence and vocational consulting.

    About Me

      A strong, trusting relationship is at the heart of effective therapy. I strive to create a space where clients feel comfortable exploring the concerns that brought them to therapy and working toward meaningful change at their own pace. I believe that we move through many stages of growth throughout our lives, and each transition—whether it’s a divorce, a new baby, graduation, a breakup, retirement, or the loss of someone we love—can bring both opportunity and stress. Even positive changes can feel overwhelming and impact how we function day to day.

      I work best with individuals who appreciate a straightforward, collaborative approach and want an active role in setting the direction and pace of therapy. Curiosity about oneself, openness to different perspectives, and a sense of humor can be helpful companions along the way.

      I provide individual therapy for children, adolescents, and adults ages 11 and older. As part of GBCC’s LGBTQ Affirming Care Line since 2017, I am honored to offer a supportive and affirming space for individuals seeking a gender therapist. My additional areas of focus include ADHD, women’s issues, life transitions, and mood concerns.

          About Me

            ’m a licensed psychologist with a clinical health specialization from Drexel University in Philadelphia. I completed my clinical training at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at the San Francisco VA. I identify primarily with a cognitive behavioral framework, but also utilize mindfulness-based and insight-oriented approaches as appropriate. Optimal well-being and quality of life are primary goals of therapy. Problems are explored and understood through a holistic perspective that considers biological, emotional, spiritual, and interpersonal/relational characteristics of an individual. I specialize in health related issues such as chronic pain, sleep disorders, coping with medical illness, and weight related problems. I also work with area hospitals performing bariatric surgical psychological evaluations.
