I am your Child and Teen Counselor…
If you see your kid is struggling and you’re not sure how to support them, I can help. I love to equip children and parents with skills to improve their relationships and overcome new challenges.
Before coming to Tender Hearts Counseling, I worked for over 5 years in an outpatient mental health clinic helping many people find ways to live more fully. I have always enjoyed working with young people the most and I’m thrilled to join the Tender Hearts team to work with you to help your child or teen.
My education and licensing includes…
….a master’s degree in pastoral and clinical mental health counseling from Loyola University Maryland.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a National Certified Counselor
