I am licensed in the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia, with over 40 years of experience in the mental health field. Over the past 2 decades, I have explicitly focused on TRAUMA and its negative impact on the lives of children, teens, adults, and the elderly population. I integrate both evidenced-based psychotherapies and faith-based principles to help survivors of trauma learn how to "TRIUMPH OVER TRAUMA." I help clients with mood-related disorders, stress and anxiety, cope with grief and loss, and trauma, including physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. As a Certified Anger Management Specialist (CAMS I), I offer an eight or 12-week anger management class. I have over 20 years of experience working with couples and families to improve their communication and relationships with each other.
I provide a therapeutic, open, and safe environment for clients to share their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey. So, let's step up into the PAIN to access your GAIN.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I am already off to a great start with her! I really did feel that our first therapy session was productive.
