### Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor

![](https://www.columbiapsychiatry-dc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Willa-scaled.jpg)

I am a clinician at our [Towson, MD](https://www.columbiapsychiatry-dc.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/location/towson-md.md) clinic who provides [therapy](https://www.columbiapsychiatry-dc.com/psychiatric-care/mental-health-counseling-and-therapy/) services!

You may be dealing with stress or emotional challenges that leave you feeling stuck, drained or disconnected. You’re seeking a place where you can express yourself openly and work toward personal growth. Together, we can explore your feelings, uncover what’s holding you back, and build toward lasting change and resilience. Therapy should fit you, not the other way around. I use an eclectic mix of approaches including cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, and existential- tailored to your needs. Working collaboratively, we’ll explore difficulties, build on your strengths, and help you to flourish. I understand that opening up isn’t always easy, especially if you’re used to handling things on your own. Therapy doesn’t have to be about fixing you; it’s about helping you to think things through, gain perspective, and move forward on your own terms. I’m here to meet you where you are, with warmth, curiosity and compassion.
