I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist with Armenian roots. I speak Armenian fluently and have worked with many different communities, including Hispanic families. This helps me understand and support clients from all backgrounds.

​

I started my career helping kids with special needs and autism. Then, I got my master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Mount St. Mary University. I love working with children, teens, and young adults. My goal is to make them feel safe and understood when we talk.

​

I use different ways to help my clients. Sometimes we do art or play therapy. Other times, we talk about thoughts and feelings. I know social media can be tough for young people, so we often discuss things like self-esteem and feeling nervous around others or in public. â€‹

I help with many issues, like anxiety, ADHD, depression, autism, and dealing with loss. I'm always learning new ways to help, like special therapy for trauma and Christian therapy.

​

No matter what problems my clients face - be it behavior issues, worry, or family stuff - I'm here to help. I work hard to understand each person's culture and background, so I can support them in the best way possible.

​

Don't hesitate to reach out, I will be happy to join your flourishing journey.
