Founder of Experience Counseling

I have over 20 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor and have worked in the mental health field for over 30 years. I am currently licensed to practice counseling in MD, TX and NJ. I have worked with people from all walks of life including individuals, employees and family members of Fortune 500 companies, local and state government agencies, small businesses and with military service members and their family members.

I have the following lived experiences: intergenerational trauma, narcissistic abuse, divorce, significant life transitions, alcohol and drug misuse (family), domestic violence (family) and toxic work environments. I was an NCAA Division 1 scholar athlete. I have experienced some adversity and have made mistakes along the way so no judgment here!

In my spare time I appreciate being outside- hiking, jogging, biking and observing nature. I am an avid reader and participate in a monthly book club. I am a mediocre snowboarder and have fallen off chairlifts across the US and Canada. I have recently moved back to Maryland from Texas to be closer to family. I have an ongoing, personal commitment to try to make the world a better, more content place, one conversation at a time.

I look forward to working with you.
