Niche: LGBTQIA, adolescents/young adults, teachers, athletes and children. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients can feel safe to share their story and know they are being seen and heard. Using a holistic, client-centered approach I help folks find self-love, acceptance, and healthy ways to move through life transitions. I use a variety of clinical skills with children. I encourage parents of young children to attend sessions as I model behavioral techniques they can implement at home.
I have a special place in my heart for all LGBTQIA teens as I believe only a skilled and seasoned therapist can truly understand the depth of their needs. I use DBT, ACT, CBT, attachment work, mindfulness, and trauma modalities. I spent the first decade of my career working in Baltimore City schools, supporting behavior, parents, and neurodivergence.
If any of the above resonates with you, you are my ideal client. Please reach out to schedule a session today!
