“I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.”

Philosophy:
I believe in empathy with my clients, not sympathy. When I work with people, I look at their strengths, believing that they are stronger than they think and the expert about themselves. I believe in connection, relationships, and respect no matter what age you are. I love to learn from the clients I work with, I truly believe that you are never too young to teach or too old to learn. I believe that no one knows you better than you do and that my role as a therapist is to provide a safe place and be available to offer guidance, support, empathy, compassion, and acceptance without judgment. I really work at meeting you where you are at emotionally letting you set the pace of your growth. I have an eclectic approach to therapy, I integrate client-centered, mindfulness, acceptance, solution-focused, cognitive behavior, experiential, and play therapy techniques to assist you in meeting your needs and reaching your goals.

My Background
I stumbled into the area of counseling after I graduated from Goucher College with a BA in History and Political Science and wanted to do something worthwhile. I joined on with the Salesmanship Club Youth Camp, a Therapeutic Wilderness Program in East Texas, and found my calling. I then chose to attend St. Edward’s University and received my MA in Human Services, followed by my LPC and NCC. After growing up in a big city, I traded this for small-town living. I have worked with a wide variety of clients, in several settings such as residential treatment facilities, acute hospital settings, and as a special education counselor. I like to use hands-on experiential experiences, trying to find teachable moments, and using client’s unique gifts to express themselves. I truly enjoy watching clients find themselves and begin to believe in their own abilities.
