Life's challenges can often feel overwhelming, and finding a space where you can unburden yourself without judgment is crucial. I am here to offer you that space - a warm, empathetic environment where your voice is heard and your concerns are met with understanding and care. Embarking on a journey of self-discovery and healing can be daunting, but not one you have to walk alone. My approach is rooted in understanding and kindness, ensuring a safe space for exploration and healing.

I graduated from Johns Hopkins University with a Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling. Now as a licensed professional (LCPC), I have been in practice for 8+ years. I specialize in helping those struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships, & perinatal mental health. I use a blend of therapies to tailor treatment to each individual, while also creating a strong therapeutic relationship.

I focus on working with adults and couples, using both cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy to assist my clients in seeing things from a different perspective as well as learning to identify and manage their emotions. I use a blend of therapies to tailor treatment to each individual, while also creating a strong therapeutic relationship. Together, we will explore ways to reduce emotional distress & promote personal growth, while making sure you feel heard & valued. Whether you are new to therapy or seeking ongoing support, I am here to accompany you on this path towards well-being. Your journey is unique, and our therapy sessions reflect that. Tailored to your individual needs, our sessions are a collaborative effort towards achieving your personal goals, offering support and strategies to manage life’s challenges.

How do we select providers listed on PsychHub.com?

The care options presented consist of treatment providers that we have assessed to be quality providers across a range of services for mental health, substance use, relationships, and other well-being needs. We aim to include only high quality providers and multiple viable options for those seeking care.

What is the relationship between Psych Hub and these providers?

The providers listed on our site are all independent entities from Psych Hub. We only list providers where we have a contractual relationship with a network, group, or practice that a provider is a part of, or where we have a direct contractual relationship with the provider. That contract governs the terms of participation on the Psych Hub site, and in some cases, as mentioned below, the provider’s, group’s, or network’s use of Psych Hub's educational content. There is no other affiliation between Psych Hub and the providers listed on our site.

Do participating providers pay us?

To make our site free for consumers, Psych Hub receives fees from provider groups, networks, or individual providers to connect with potential clients who are a fit for their services. Some also purchase Psych Hub's educational content for practitioner training and client support. These fees enable us to operate our service, including screening and updating information on each provider.

How do we determine which ones to display?

Rather than make specific provider recommendations, we present options and information so you can make an informed decision on what provider best fits your needs. Where we have multiple participating providers, we present multiple options (and where we don't, we prioritize adding more options to our site over time). We present providers whose capabilities, insurance coverage, availability and other attributes best match your stated needs. If many providers appear to equally meet your needs, we display a selection of them at random. Our decision on which participating providers to display is never impacted by the amount of fees we receive from them.

What causes us to remove providers from our site?

We require that providers meet all licensing requirements of states where they offer services. If a provider loses their license, they are removed from our site for that state or service. We also seek feedback from users on providers they find on our site. We investigate significant negative feedback and remove providers if we conclude that to be appropriate.
