### Licensed Professional Counselor

Hello, and welcome. I am a licensed [therapist](https://www.columbiapsychiatry-dc.com/psychiatric-care/mental-health-counseling-and-therapy/) at our [Greenbelt, MD](https://www.columbiapsychiatry-dc.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/location/greenbelt-md.md) clinic, with approximately five years of experience providing mental health care in outpatient settings. Originally from Durham, North Carolina, I earned my Master’s degree in Forensic Psychology and have dedicated my work to helping adults navigate life’s challenges.

My goal is to create a welcoming and open space where you can feel comfortable being your authentic self without fear of judgment. I work exclusively with adults and strive to provide a supportive environment where you feel heard, respected, and understood.

I take an eclectic approach to therapy, tailoring treatment to each person’s unique experiences. I specialize in C-DBT and EMDR. I also utilize CBT, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic, and person-centered approaches.

I offer telehealth sessions for convenience and accessibility, as well as in-person sessions on Mondays at the office. Whether you are seeking support, healing, or personal growth, I look forward to working collaboratively with you on your journey.
