Are you struggling with a sense of identity? Wishing that you'd pursued something and now it's "too late?" We're raised to believe that there is a particular timeline our lives need to follow, but in reality, everyone's path and timeline are different. It's never too late to make a change and no matter who we are, or where we are in our lives, we are all capable of change. It's my goal to help you work towards achieving YOUR goals (even if you haven't quite figured out those goals yet).

I would be honored to partner with you so that you can cope with life’s inevitabilities with more strength, grace, compassion, and understanding of yourself. No one should feel alone, and sometimes we need a safe person outside of our own situation to help make sense of it all and find some peace. I’ve been a mental health clinician in Frederick for 15+ years. My early career was spent leading the team of clinicians providing emergency psychiatric services for Frederick County, as well as providing psychiatric training to local first responders. My passion, however, lies with my private practice and working 1-on-1 with people.

A question I regularly get is, "What is Therapy?" "What does it do?" If you ask 100 therapists, you may get as many different answers. My take on therapy is that it is a space where you can lay out your problems and difficulties in a way that they begin to feel more manageable, then develop insights and new perspectives on how to address these problems. Essentially, it provides a new way to look at your challenges and the knowledge and insight to overcome them.

Living as an immigrant or person of color in America can be really challenging. You may be struggling with navigating multiple cultural identities, meeting family and community expectations, facing discrimination and limited opportunities, or finding belonging and feeling at peace with your authentic self. You may feel guilt, obligation, or that you are never “enough”. You may struggle in relationships because it feels difficult to find time for yourself, you are never sure where you stand, or if you are fully accepted as you are.

Hi and welcome to my profile! I enjoy working with teens, young adults, and adults that are seeking change in their lives. Maybe you feel like its time for the next chapter and need some help figuring out how to get from "here to there," or you feel like you are not seeing the results of your efforts. Many of my clients are also navigating how to manage chronic illness or pain. These conditions contribute to depression, anxiety, irritability, or even be downright debilitating. It can be exhausting to always consider your condition in your plans as well as difficult to maintain hope that symptoms are going to be easier to manage.
