OUTPATIENT COUNSELOR

Starting therapy can be a scary experience for anyone! I focus on offering a Trauma Informed, Humanistic Therapy style, offering unconditional positive regard and respect. My Women in Recovery Groups and Individual Sessions hope to make the process as comfortable and beneficial as possible. Groups focus on identifying and exploring our dysfunctional patterns through sharing our experiences. You can expect a laid-back group environment, where members share about what they're dealing with on a day-to-day basis, and offer support and understanding to one another. I strive to meet people where they are in the recovery journey and provide a non-judgmental space to share, process and repair.

I bring warmth, curiosity, and authenticity to the counseling relationship. I believe that healing happens when people feel truly seen, heard, and respected for their lived experiences. I work to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore challenges, build self-awareness, and reconnect with their strengths.

My approach to counseling is collaborative and empowering. I value meeting clients where they are and helping them identify practical tools for growth, while also exploring deeper emotional patterns that may be influencing their lives. The work is done as a partnership. With a background in social work (BASW) and ongoing graduate (MSW) training in clinical practice, I bring a holistic perspective to counseling that considers not only individual experiences and diagnoses, but also the family, social, and cultural systems that shape these experiences. 

Clients working with me can expect a therapist who is compassionate, attentive, and genuinely invested in their progress. I believe that meaningful change begins with honest conversation, self-awareness, and a therapeutic relationship built on trust, respect, and genuine human connection.

In an individual session, you can expect to have your thoughts and feelings heard and prioritized. My approach is to understand a client's perspectives and strengths so we can collaborate and develop an approach that is manageable and effective for you to pursue. Seeing yourself as capable of change, in ways that are reflective of your existing strengths, can feel empowering and allow for visualization of real positive change.

When working in group together, you may expect a participative safe environment to openly share your experiences. 

While you acclimate to the group expectations of being a member, you can begin to let your personality shine. As a participative group this will allow you and peers to collaborate as I provide tools to inspire the changes you seek.

In our individual sessions, you can expect an enthusiastic, eclectic, and profound counselor focused on helping you through substance use coupled with navigating through complex, distressful, traumatic life experiences. I use my effective active listening skills, great sense of humor and empathy to create a good-hearted environment to help my client express themselves. Through my education I utilize an array of therapeutic theoretical frameworks that could be of assistance during counseling in Mid-Atlantic Rehabilitation Services.
