Our counselors offer career counseling in Silver Spring, MD

I am a licensed graduate professional counselor (LGPC) with 6 years of experience supporting clients facing mood disorders, behavioral concerns, and family challenges. I provide individual and family therapy using evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, and solution-focused therapy. I view therapy as a collaborative process designed to reduce distress, strengthen self-awareness, and improve overall quality of life.

I earned my master's degree in clinical mental health counseling from the College of William & Mary. I have received formal training in cognitive behavioral therapy and have applied this approach across diverse settings to help clients build resilience, improve emotional regulation, and develop effective coping skills.

I offer a flexible schedule and respect the time and effort you invest in your growth. Even little progress can create meaningful change. Together, we will focus on practical strategies that empower you to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

I am a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) with 5 years of experience supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, and emotional challenges. I provide a thoughtful, insight-oriented approach to therapy and believe that meaningful change begins with understanding the deeper roots of your struggles. I am committed to creating a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and respected.

I earned my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Northwestern University, where I received training in psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. I draw from multiple evidence-based approaches and tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs, allowing therapy to unfold in a way that feels authentic and effective.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed or isolated, you don’t have to face it alone. I offer an engaged, compassionate, and collaborative environment where we can explore challenges together and work toward clarity, relief, and lasting growth. I look forward to supporting you on your journey.

I have spent over a decade working in nonprofits with people living under various forms of oppression, such as poverty and homelessness. I bring my experience as a therapy survivor who found healing both in and out of traditional mental health treatment, and as my work examining and deconstructing systems of oppression in myself and life. The person that fits for my experience is someone who has a curiosity and open mindedness toward themselves and their life, who likes to laugh (especially if the joke is a bit off color), who understands or is curious about how society and culture shape us, and who wants to live their most authentic life.

I create an open, nonjudgmental space, that allows me to reflect your own inherent capability for safety, security, and transformation. I bring a unique perspective to therapy– therapy is not the only piece of the puzzle. I specialize in alternative and complementary therapies, to help my clients build a life that supports their dreams–and nervous systems.

Life can be challenging, especially in the culture we live in now. It makes sense that you may be struggling to feel happy, safe, or connected. There is nothing wrong with you. You've developed incredible survival skills to keep your head above water. Unfortunately, the skills that help us survive don't always help us thrive. I’ve been there, and I can help.
