I realize that life paths turn, swerve and can be a mountain to climb.  We work together as you traverse life’s path to find inner peace, fulfillment and resilience in a supportive, accepting, and holistic environment.  For over 25 years, my passion as a mental health counselor and professor of psychology has a strong focus on caring, empathy, and cultural inclusion for all ages.  

My educational background includes a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Towson University and a bachelor’s degree in behavioral science from University of Maryland University College.  I have a background in law enforcement and am a U.S. Army veteran. Nature is my balm as I enjoy hiking, camping and disc golfing.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Maryland #LC1749.
