Hi, I’m Ethan
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with an M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Divine Mercy University. My training and experience focus on trauma, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy.
I believe people are naturally inclined to grow and thrive. Emotions are not just things to manage; they are strengths we can use to live well. I value each client’s story and creating a safe space to share it. I draw on attachment-based ideas, which say people heal best in secure, connected relationships—neither fully dependent nor completely independent, but interdependent.
I work with depression, anxiety, acute/chronic/complex trauma, and relationship distress. I treat individuals of all ages, as well as couples and families.
Credentials and training:
- Certified Clinical Traumatologist
- Level 1 and 2 Emotion-Focused Family Therapy
- Core skills in Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy
I believe counseling should be a place where you feel seen, heard, and supported. Many of the clients I work with are navigating important life transitions—work, school, marriage, family relationships, cultural identity, leadership stress, faith questions, or the pressures of professional life. I especially enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds, including professional women, TCK, MKs, PKs, Ministry families, African and Black and brown families, diaspora families, international professionals, and people who desire to integrate their faith into the counseling process.
My goal is to create a space that is both compassionate and practical. I want clients to feel safe bringing their whole story into the room—faith, culture, family dynamics, and personal struggles—while also leaving sessions with tools that help them grow and move forward. Whether we are working through relationship challenges, stress, anxiety, or life direction, I approach therapy as a partnership where we work together toward healing and clarity.
I work with adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions and grief. Many of my clients feel stuck or unsure how to move forward, whether that involves improving focus and follow-through, coping with loss, or navigating changes in mood and life circumstances.
You may be overwhelmed, struggling to stay focused, or going through a difficult change in your life that makes you feel stressed out.
With over 30 years of experience in healthcare as both a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Nurse, I bring a practical understanding of how physical, emotional, and mental health are connected, especially for adults managing ADHD, focus challenges, and overwhelm.
I am a board-certified Nurse Practitioner with training in both primary care and psychiatric mental health. I have extensive experience providing care in community, correctional, and integrated care settings, where I work with individuals managing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related conditions, and other mental health concerns.
I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and respected. I value thoughtful assessment, clear communication, and collaborative decision-making to help clients better understand their symptoms and treatment options. My goal is to partner with each client to develop a personalized care plan that supports both mental and overall well-being.

I earned my Master of Social Work degree from the University of Puerto Rico and have worked across outpatient mental health, crisis intervention, community behavioral health, and professional sports. I currently serve as a Mental Health Team Counselor with the Baltimore Orioles organization, where I support professional athletes in managing stress, anxiety, performance demands, life transitions, and overall psychological wellness.
My clinical experience includes treating anxiety, depression, trauma, adjustment disorders, relationship concerns, grief and loss, stress management, self-esteem, and life transitions. I integrate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution-Focused Therapy, and strengths-based interventions, tailoring treatment to each client’s unique goals and needs.
I believe that meaningful change begins with a trusting therapeutic relationship. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, empowered, and equipped with the tools they need to thrive both personally and professionally.
