Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Frederick, MD

I've spent fifteen years in community mental health, and most of that time has been with people who were told, in one way or another, that they'd have to wait their turn for care. That shaped how I work. You'll find me direct, practical, and firmly in your corner.

I am a psychotherapist with a strong dedication to assisting clients in achieving their desired life goals. My professional background includes specialization in trauma and addiction recovery, where I provide support to individuals, families, and partners dealing with relational challenges. I hold certifications as a clinical trauma professional and a yoga teacher, which I integrate into my therapeutic approach to foster holistic healing. My practice is centered on creating a safe and supportive environment for personal growth and self-discovery.

I am a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with a primary care background. I graduated from the University of Maryland School of Nursing. My focus areas are adults and geriatric patients.

I am a psychotherapist with over 8 years of experience in the counseling field. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland. I have experience treating a wide range of complex clinical concerns including mood, anxiety, psychotic, trauma related, and personality disorders. I also have an extensive history of treating addiction related issues and a strong understanding of 12-step recovery.

Are you currently struggling with substance use and/or considering sobriety? Have you had enough? Maybe you have legal issues, mental health concerns, family and financial stressors, or experience shame and guilt regularly. Perhaps you love someone who struggles with substances and feel like your needs get lost in the mix. I have personal experience with this as my spouse is in recovery. Much of my work centers around adults and their families as they navigate substance use and legal involvement, bringing both clinical skill and grounded real‐world experience. My goal is to help you understand yourself or your situation more deeply while you learn to navigate a healthy life.

My Journey

I struggled with anxiety and depression for years before I discovered therapy. What changed everything wasn't symptom management—it was depth. Learning to actually understand myself, to sit with discomfort instead of optimize it away, to accept myself differently. That depth-oriented work didn't just ease my symptoms. It helped me become someone I'm proud of.

That experience fundamentally shapes how I work with clients.
