If you are a young adult, you might be struggling with imposter syndrome which makes you feel like you are not "a real adult." Negative thoughts about who you are and your self-worth begin to creep in and take over constantly. This is emotionally exhausting and I want to help guide you through a beautiful journey of self-exploration!

As a certified EFT therapist, I specialize in working with couples who have trouble communicating, resolving conflict, or restoring breaches of trust. Sometimes we feel as though our partner is speaking a different language and attempts at connection only leave us feeling more alone. When we lose faith in our partner's ability to meet our needs, we tend to respond by fighting to restore a felt sense of connection or by backing off and avoiding conflict to preserve whatever connection may be left. We might feel that our partner doesn't care for us or that we've somehow failed our partners and that we may never get it right.

I didn't know I was a California girl until I moved back East to rural Maryland, right off the Chesapeake Bay. Faced with miles of nothing but trees, a few passing cars and the occasional Amish buggy I realized I wasn’t in Southern California anymore. Given the fact there were few street lights and even fewer street signs, I quickly realized I needed to rely on GPS. This piece of technology made it possible for me to see where I was, and help me get to where I wanted to go. My passion as a counselor, is to help you get from where you are, to where you want be.

Goal setting is critical in the therapy process. I collaboratively create goals with my clients, because I am working with them to achieve these goals. If a client has several difficulties and feels overwhelmed by their goals, then I will help them to identify an overarching goal or a goal to target, that we can work on together.

Most marriage and family therapists believe a wide range of individual problems must be understood within the context of the family and social environments. I believe in this systems approach to mental and emotional problems and have the goal to change problematic, repetitive interactions that contribute to the presenting problem. As a trauma informed therapist, I am aware of the long-lasting effects of childhood trauma and will explore that using a narrative therapy approach. Our goal for therapy is the reduce distress and improve functionality. In what ways are you feeling not OK? Let’s help you start feeling OK.

Are you ready for change? Have you thought that there could be a different way of life, other than what you have experienced or are living?Do you feel stuck in the cycle of past traumatic events, abusive parents, or other damaging relationships? Everyday life experiences trigger the trauma of previous events, perpetuating the cycle of feelings and behaviors. Life CAN be different and we don’t do it alone. I help people understand and release the past, and move forward, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which has been found to help people with PTSD, anxiety, low self esteem, and depression.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have a passion for helping others and have worked in the field of mental health for 5 years. When conducting therapy, I use techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, humanistic approaches, and other strength-based approaches. I first found a passion for helping others when working as a personal trainer and majoring in kinesiology. Later, I stumbled upon sports psychology, which caught my interest, and ultimately I switched my major to psychology.

I am a Licensed Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor with 8 years of experience. I have a diverse professional background, specializing in substance abuse, mental health, anger management, self-worth. When trauma occurs it affects you to the core. Every part of you is on edge and in fear of the known or unknown. Difficult memories become so overwhelming that your only way of managing is with alcohol and substances. What starts as a temporary relief from reality can turn into an overwhelming cycle of despair and struggle. Your new trauma is now an addiction to alcohol or substances and all of the hopelessness that comes along with it.
