- 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, 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.
