As a therapist, I can understand the anxiety and fear surrounding your decision to seek therapy for yourself. I would like to partner with you as you navigate your world. As a therapist, I provide an eclectic approach to counseling, with a belief that in order to understand the present, one must understand his or her past. I operate from a strengths-based perspective because I believe both children and adults are resilient and given the right tools, can solve their own problems. In addition to various mental health issues and concerns, I have an understanding of adoption and foster care, multi cultural families and how that impacts one's identity. The 'Who am I and where do I come from?' is an important question that we all ask ourselves. I've received specialized training and certification as an Adoption Competent Therapist through The Center for Adoption Support and Education, located in Burtonsville, MD. I want to make sure I meet your needs. Are you questioning whether or not I would be a good fit? Here are some things to consider: If you're looking for a therapist to be empathetic, warm, encouraging, but direct, we might be a good fit. If you're looking for a therapist who respects your time, as well as, expects the same, we might be a good fit. If you're looking for a therapist you can laugh or cry with, but yet be supportive, we might be a good fit. If you're looking for a therapist to hold space, but yet at the same time help you identify solutions to your real world problems and concerns, we might be a good fit. If you're looking to dig in and actually do "the work", we might be a good fit. If this sounds and is something that resonates with you, please make sure you message me directly regarding availability. I look forward to working with you!

Hello! I hold a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Wisconsin-Stout. My skill-set has been molded working in a domestic violence shelter for women, college counseling center, medium-security correctional facility for men, and providing outpatient mental health services for individuals of all ages and struggles. I take a modern, holistic, and interpersonal approach incorporating elements from different theories depending on the person and the situation. Life is hard, and triggers are unavoidable. Change is unpleasant in the short term, but can improve the quality of our lives in the long-term. The goal of therapy is to identify the obstacles and learn ways to change our thoughts and behaviors resulting in less emotional distress. My end goal is to empower people to confidently resolve their struggles independent of mental health professionals in the future once they refine their skills. I offer a safe, confidential presence and am eager to offer support and guidance on your journey. You've already done the work to survive; now let's find a way to thrive!
