Autumn Beginnings Counseling Services

I obtained my undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Maryland. By training, I am a Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience. Currently, I hold licenses in both Maryland and Virginia. It is an honor to be a therapist, and my passion is to help people find deeper self-awareness and to take the necessary steps to live better lives. My background includes working with people from diverse backgrounds and beliefs. I have significant experience counseling individuals facing a variety of challenges including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, life transitions, job stress, substance misuse, and relationship concerns. 

I use an integrative approach to understanding your strengths and unique life experiences in a safe and relational environment. My eclectic clinical approach incorporates different evidence-based models, including cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, and emotionally focused therapy. Ultimately, I will support you in navigating through difficulties, and I hope to connect you with the tools and resources that promote better emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.

"I'm listening..."

The Greek philosopher Heraclitus once said, “The only constant is change.” Like the falling leaves from trees, life must take a new course by shedding off the old. The transition to fresh green leaves represents hope, renewal, and revival. AB Counseling recognizes that change is a process. A person can expect to experience many significant changes throughout life, most of which are generally favorable. Effective handling of change can leave one more assertive, confident, and better prepared for what comes next. Let’s work together to make this a positive season of change.
