My therapeutic style utilizes a cognitive and mindfulness based approach to help individuals feel calm, empowered, and aware.

About Me

I offer trauma-informed therapy, supporting teens and adults to navigate challenging experiences. My approach blends cognitive and mindfulness techniques, helping you discover greater calm and awareness. Together, we'll develop personal tools like cognitive reframing or grounding. This collaborative process is ideal for those seeking practical strategies. You can feel more empowered and better regulate emotions in your daily life.

Approach

You'll find sessions that balance clear thinking with present-moment practices, focusing on what feels manageable right now. I offer in-person meetings in Frederick, Maryland and secure online sessions in English to fit busy schedules. We try short cognitive experiments, brief grounding or breathing techniques, and step-by-step emotion regulation practice you can use between sessions. This practical, steady way of working tends to help people juggling school, work, or relationships feel more able to cope.
