I believe therapy is a space for genuine connection, growth, and lasting change.
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 14 years of experience helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I create a supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to explore the patterns that shape their experiences. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, focusing on helping clients uncover their strengths and move toward greater emotional balance and fulfillment.
I earned a Master’s in Professional Counseling from Loyola University. Depending on client needs, I integrate an eclectic blend of emotionally focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy. These approaches are especially effective for clients managing moderate to severe anxiety and depression.
My goal is to help clients recognize and shift automatic responses that cause stress, turning these insights into meaningful growth. By sharing practical coping skills and fostering awareness of mind, body, and spirit, I guide clients toward resilience, self-compassion, and lasting happiness.

Psychologists are mental health professionals that provide psychotherapy services and diagnoses for their clients. They have more research-focused training than most therapists, as they are more medically educated and receive a more general education about therapeutic approaches and theory.
Thriveworks psychologists in Frederick, MD provide standard psychotherapy services, tailoring treatment to each client and their unique concerns. However, they can also provide diagnoses to clients when appropriate, something that therapists and counselors cannot do. Finally, in some states in the U.S., they are allowed to prescribe medication.
Psychological treatment at Thriveworks Frederick is very individualized and specific to each client, which means that the duration of treatment is often varied depending on a client’s condition or disorder, the state of their symptoms, and their specific goals.

As we briefly mentioned earlier, psychologists are mental health care professionals who have a broad range of skills which enable them to help a diverse client base. They use psychological knowledge and research to treat mental illnesses and work with clients to overcome them.

As you have probably gathered already, many different people with various challenges can benefit from working with a psychologist. One person might decide to pursue working with a psychologist for the loss of a loved one, whereas another person might do so because of relationship issues. That being said, here is a more comprehensive list of reasons why people seek the help of a psychologist at Thriveworks Counseling in Frederick, MD:
Our psychologists can help you in these areas and many, many others, too!
As we mentioned before, psychologists are highly trained and equipped with a broad range of techniques and tools to help their clients improve their wellbeing and achieve greater overall happiness. When starting to work with one of these mental health professionals, they will first sit down with you to better understand the issue at hand. Then, with the information they have gathered, will create a custom treatment plan to help you achieve those goals. In order to make progress with your psychologist, you may have to open up about some difficult topics. However, it’ll only benefit you more in the end!
Different psychological and therapeutic techniques and methods can be used such as traditional talk therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, child therapy, narrative therapy, stress/anger management tools, communication skills, problem-solving skills, and more. In some cases, a combination of counseling and medication is the best course of action. When this is the case, your psychologist will work closely with your primary care provider or psychiatrist to ensure accurate medication is prescribed. If you have any questions about your treatment plan or if you think medication would be a good option for you, bring them up during your counseling session.
We offer our clients added benefits including weekend and evening hours in addition to normal daytime operations, flexible cancellations, online counseling, and no waitlist. We look forward to working with you on this journey towards better living.
