About Me

I provide trauma-informed, goal-oriented therapy for adults, couples, and families. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices and shaped by each client’s unique needs, identity, and history. You won’t get one-size-fits-all therapy here—you’ll get personalized care that evolves with you.

I specialize in working with

• Adults navigating anxiety and depression
  When your mind won’t slow down and your motivation’s gone missing, we work together to reconnect, recalibrate, and rebuild.
• High-functioning individuals who feel overwhelmed or stuck
  You’re the one everyone else relies on—but inside, you're exhausted, disconnected, or constantly bracing for the next thing. Therapy offers a space to stop performing and start unpacking.
• Trauma survivors looking to heal in a safe, collaborative space
  Whether the trauma is recent or long past, we work at your pace to process what’s happened and reclaim your sense of agency.
• People struggling with insomnia and sleep issues
  If falling asleep feels like a nightly battle, or your thoughts won't let you rest, I use behavioral and cognitive strategies to help improve sleep patterns and reduce the stress that feeds into them.
• Anyone who’s been stuck in survival mode for far too long
  You’re not broken—you’ve just been coping. Now it’s time to move from surviving to actually living.

I’ve worked in the mental health field for over a decade, and every step of that journey has shaped how I show up as a therapist today.

My career began in 2013, supporting individuals with developmental disabilities as a coach and advocate. From there, I worked with transitional-age youth through Sheppard Pratt’s MD PROMISE grant program, helping young people build independence, job skills, and self-worth. After becoming a licensed therapist, I continued at Sheppard Pratt in outpatient programs before joining the VA in 2022, where I provided therapy and crisis support to veterans facing complex mental health challenges.

Throughout it all, one theme has stayed constant: individualized, person-centered care makes all the difference. That’s why I opened Between Behavioral Health—to offer care that isn’t rushed, formulaic, or buried in red tape. Just real connection, real strategies, and room to grow.

• I live in Frederick with my amazing wife, our two kids, and a small zoo that includes our dog Archie and three cats: Frankie, Damien, and Ava. (Yes, the cats run the house.)
• I’m a fan of anime, and not just casually
• I love trying new food, especially anything spicy enough to make me question my choices.
• When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me reading, hanging out with my family, or plotting which ramen place I’m going to try next.
