I am in this field because I care deeply about helping people foster fulfilling and healthy lives. I believe if we can all learn to live with a little more compassion, we will experience a deeper level of peace and satisfaction in life. My aim is for the therapeutic experience to be a catalyst, empowering clients to extend greater compassion not only to themselves but also those around them.

I graduated from Loyola University of Maryland’s Doctoral program in Clinical Psychology and completed practicum experiences at the United States Naval Academy and University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC).  

When I’m not working, I enjoy being in nature, trying my hand at various artistic hobbies, and spending time with my family.  I also have two cats who can’t help but join some of my virtual sessions and would love to meet you!
