- LCPC, LMHC
I am a dedicated and licensed therapist in Maryland and Massachusetts with 10 years of professional work experience helping people learn how to work through life difficulties. I have experience working with those struggling with anxiety and depression, specifically, learning how to manage stress and anxiety and improve confidence to cope with life changes. Each person I meet is treated with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My therapeutic approach is eclectic in integrating other therapeutic techniques such as client-centered, cognitive behavioral, and psychodynamic to promote healing and growth.
I look forward to meeting you and helping you meet your life goals.

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.
