Outwardly, you seem to have it all together. You’re living the perfect life… on paper. On the inside, it feels like you’re just keeping your head above water. Days are lackluster and monotonous, like someone muted all the colors of life. Yet the painful emotions are vibrant as ever, and are starting to feel overwhelming: anxiety, loneliness, shame. Gnawing emptiness. You try to distract yourself, but it’s getting harder. The critical voice in your head is growing more insistent. You can’t talk about it because you’re the one people go to with their problems. You know something has to change, but you don’t know how or where to start.

My goal in fostering a therapeutic space is to help individuals enhance their skills to live their life to their fullest potential. We will work together to reach goals that harness that full potential. My areas of interest are perinatal therapy and enhancing maternal mental health which I do by working with expecting mothers, mothers trying to conceive, and mothers in the postpartum period. I also enjoy working with young adults and adults who may be struggling with difficult life transitions, anxiety, or depression.

My areas of expertise include: (1) Adolescents and adults having difficulties managing stress, anxiety and worries, depression, and interpersonal problems. (2) Adolescents with challenges in their social relationships, academic motivation, and behavioral adjustment. Depending on the situation, I may address such problems with individual therapy, family therapy, or parenting work. (3) Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in youth and adults: providing useful skills and techniques for living a more productive and satisfying life with ADHD. (4) Couple therapy: Helping couples to improve communication, rebuild or deepen trust or intimacy, or understand and re-shape unsatisfying or distressing patterns of interaction.

Psychotherapy can help you make sense of complicated feelings, gain insight into relational patterns, and begin to move forward in areas of your life where you feel stuck. My focus is to help you untangle struggles, set meaningful goals, revise problematic narratives about yourself, and re-orient you toward your values. My integrative approach is informed by psychodynamic, feminist, multicultural, relational, and behaviorist theories. Above all, I value the therapeutic relationship and your personal growth. I offer therapy, assessment, and gender affirming evaluation services in person and remotely.

As a Licensed Graduate Marriage and Family Therapist, I provide individual, family, and couples therapy.

I aim to create a safe, welcoming environment where we can work as a team to foster self awareness, build insight into current issues, develop tools to navigate life challenges, and create and sustain meaningful change.

If you're wrestling with painful relationships, trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, anger, addiction, or a difficult life transition, I'll ensure that you feel safe, understood, and supported. If your teen or child is acting out, not making friends, or doing poorly in school, I can help.

I work with clients of many needs and backgrounds; however my specialties include trauma, grief, infertility, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, low self-esteem and communication problems.

While my physical office is located in Ellicott City I offer teletherapy allowing me to be available to clients across Maryland.

From the outside, it would appear that you have it all figured out. School? Aced it. Prestigious job? Grabbed it. Life that others would drool over? Nailed it. You've got it all! But then, why do you still feel miserable all the time? It's like your brain is in perpetual crisis mode. "What's wrong with me?!" you internally scream at yourself. Your friends and family offer reassurance, but you can't shake this feeling that at any moment, this life that you've worked so hard for is about to come crashing down. You keep a smile plastered on your face, but inside you're on the verge of imploding. You can't keep this up for much longer.

As a therapist with the Jaxcyn Therapy Group, I assist individuals with managing their mental health and emotional well-being, while providing support, guidance, and strategies to help clients navigate their challenges and develop healthier coping mechanisms.

It is important for an individual to be free from the fear that does not allow one to reach a place of understanding and self-acceptance. Whether it is struggling with a past trauma, loneliness, anxiety, anger, fear of not being accepted, feelings of being “too much” or “not enough”, I practice from a place of compassion and non-judgement. When a client expresses, they are ready for a change, I will “meet them where they are at” in the therapeutic process. I enjoy working with diverse populations, at any stage in life, including individuals who identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community.

The best clients are ones who are motivated to change. I enjoy working with clients who are willing to look at themselves and explore how best to create the changes they desire. I work with their strengths to overcome any hurdles on their way to a better quality of life. Everyone faces challenges. I help clients realize that how you face those challenges can make all the difference. I work with teenagers, adults, and seniors.

My treatment philosophy is that therapy is a team effort, positive and practical, client and therapist working together for the client's goals. The focus is on the way you think, your feelings and emotions and the behaviors involved. The approach is cognitive-behavioral using a variety of techniques as appropriate. I have worked extensively in the areas of stress management, behavioral medicine and the various anxiety disorders, such as social anxiety, phobias, panic disorders, OCD and PTSD. I have also developed a social skills program that is useful when working on relationship and family issues.

Are you struggling with stress, anxiety, and irritability? Have you found it difficult to juggle all of your responsibilities? If so, you’re definitely not alone.

I work with motivated individuals who are looking for support, perspective, & helpful coping strategies for navigating ever-changing times. I will help you take steps to achieving your goals and be there to celebrate the small victories along the way.

My style is compassionate and supportive. I specialize in working with clients to enhance psychological growth, build satisfaction, and build community in their lives. I have over 15 years of experience facilitating change and self-integration. Clients often report feeling more alive, willing to take more risks, and feeling secure in their relationships with others following their therapy journey.

I have extensive professional experience working with individuals and groups in the public mental health field as well in my private practice.I believe that symptoms of distress that bring people into treatment are signs of health. Old ways of coping are no longer working and new ways of dealing with life are needed. I help clients connect with the internal resources they need to create the lives they long for.

I have more than 20 years working in a variety of outpatient and inpatient mental health settings including private practice, psychiatric day programs, nursing home and inpatient hospital. I work with adults with a wide variety of needs ranging from such topics as depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship/family stressors and caregiver challenges. We will work together to develop a treatment plan that suits your needs as I utilize a variety of therapy styles including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic therapies, Culturally Sensitive, Family/Marital, Strength-Based, and Mindfulness-Based.

Therapy is a process and a journey to becoming the best version of yourself. I have a deep appreciation for every one’s story. My passion is to help each person with whom I am lucky to work achieve breakthroughs and transform their life.
