I am a licensed clinical professional counselor who attended Capella University where I graduated with honors in Clinical Counseling psychology with a specialization in Clinical Psychology. I am currently a lifetime member of Psi Chi Chapter. Psi Chi is the International Honor Society in Psychology, founded in 1929 for the purposes of encouraging, stimulating, and maintaining excellence in scholarship, and advancing the science of psychology. I pride myself in learning all I can within the field of psychology and even how to expand in research and on various theories. I am currently focusing on trauma therapy, family and individual therapy to better serve clients. I have been working in the field of psychology for over 5 years and has found it to be a passion of mine for the long haul. I have a strong background working as a PRP worker, Program Director for an outpatient mental health facility, Rehabilitation Specialist, Clinical Supervisor and counselor. I consider myself to be well-versed in PRP and Maryland's COMAR regulations and how to effectively train upcoming counselors and those freshly starting in the field of psychology. I do not believe in bondage limitations. I believe we all can, with the necessary structure, work and mindset achieve our dreams, that will not only benefit us, but those around us.

At times life experiences are overwhelming, compromising, and/or traumatizing. No life is without challenges or cookie cut. This can include physical/mental illness or disability, severed relationships or divorce, death, abuse, assault, or accidents. Challenges may occur from simply trying to manage expectations, performance demands, self-confidence, or self-identity. I am passionate about helping individuals grow through challenging experiences. I have over ten years of experience engaging with families, children, adolescents, and adults in behavioral/mental health, hospice, bereavement, foster care, adoption, disability, and educational settings. It is my belief that every individual has unique strengths and resiliency. By utilizing a holistic and diverse approach, together, we can navigate the process of adjustment, exploring, and learning techniques that are specific to your needs in a safe, caring, and non-judgmental environment. My goal is to help you achieve emotional and mental wellness and increased awareness of your needs and values for an improved daily functioning and meaningful life.
