My role is to help ensure the story you write represents your truest, most loved self. I believe that you are the expert of you, and everyone has a healer within them. Our work will focus on assisting you to align and lead with your inner healer in order to reclaim your power, feel safe in yourself and the world, and break free from trauma cycles. I take a client centered approach and will hold a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space for you to feel heard and validated.

My specialties are understanding autism, working with LGBTQ+ and trans, grief and eating disorders.
My therapeutic practice is a combination of who I am ( being British) and the experiences I have had. Life is full of successes and failures and these experiences give us wisdom and the opportunity to analyze and reflect. My experiences started from a young age being born in Africa , living in South America and later travelling in China. I learned to be flexible and was always able to find a sense of place and belonging. Many of these experiences involved connection with the natural environment and I developed a love for birding and ecology. Eventually I moved to the Eastern shore of Maryland where I have raised four children.

I am a Perinatal Mental Health Certified provider and work individuals facing perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, infertility, and loss.
I believe that life is a balancing act. People seek balance in relationships, in happy versus sad days, in work time and home life, and in the influence of the past versus looking toward the future. Balance looks different to everyone, but we know it when we have it and miss it when it's gone. Life transitions such as graduation, career changes, the end of a relationship, a loss, or new parenthood can throw off our balance. Whether these changes are a part of our plan or outside of our control, we will learn from them. I love to walk alongside people in transition to help them find their own balance and build a life they love.

You just blew up at your daughter again! You’re not even sure what it was about this time, but lately, it doesn’t take much to send you over the edge. You are simply spread too thin. If only you had some time for yourself, maybe you’d be able to solve some of these issues. But when you try to clear a little space for self-care, your inner voice tells you you are being selfish. This cycle of shame, guilt, and exhaustion feels impossible to break free from. You wish you had the confidence to take a step back and create healthier boundaries for yourself but you just don’t know how to make a change. It all feels so totally hopeless!

I’ve always been fascinated by the butterfly effect because I find it relatable to therapy. The theory says small things can lead to large-scale changes in the future state. The concept is imagined with a butterfly flapping its wings and causing a typhoon. In therapy, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and making changes in life can seem daunting. My goal is to provide you with insight and teach you strategies that may have that effect on you. It can be hard to see the change you are making in the moment but when you look back, you realize all of those little things actually made a significant impact; thus the butterfly effect.

Grief Therapists
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
