As a licensed therapist in Maryland, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on helping clients develop resilience, self-compassion, and effective coping strategies while addressing challenges like anxiety, depression, life transitions, and social dynamics.
I'm passionate about creating a supportive environment where individuals can explore their inner experiences, heal from past wounds, and cultivate meaningful personal growth. My therapeutic work focuses on empowering clients to understand themselves more deeply, improve communication skills, and develop healthier relationship patterns.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
