I am a licensed clinical professional counselor in Maryland (LCPC) and West Virginia (LPC).  I am also an effective meeting facilitator, consultant, and a collaborative workshop and retreat leader. My goal is to empower people to achieve meaningful healing, growth and balance in the their lives, relationships and organizations.

 

As the founder of Capital Crescent Counseling and Consulting, I bring with me a wide range of life experiences including supervisory positions in consulting/financial services companies, teaching, parenting, and community volunteering/advocacy.  Since my first counseling internship in 2008, I have been grateful to be supporting individuals, families, and couples as they do the challenging and rewarding work of healing, growing, and living more authentically and joyfully. My clients often remark that they feel safe, peaceful, understood, and accepted in my office. 

​

I have supported people through individual counseling, couples counseling, marriage counseling, relationship counseling, family counseling, and group counseling, from many different countries, faith traditions, economic backgrounds, sexual orientations, and gender identities.  

​

I have been a guest lecturer in Mindfulness and Stress Management at a Master's program in the Washington, DC area.
