The Heart Behind Our Healing Approach
At Grounded Foundations Therapy, we believe in the power of authentic healing. Our practice was created to offer care that’s both deeply compassionate and clinically sound—grounded in evidence-based therapies and genuine human connection. We envisioned a space where clinicians can bring their whole selves and clients feel truly seen and supported.
We’re committed to offering you the same level of care we would seek for our own loved ones. With empathy, expertise, and a deep belief in your capacity for growth, we walk alongside you to build a life rooted in strength, resilience, and lasting well-being.
Meet Our Clinician
As the founder of Grounded Foundations Therapy, I bring extensive clinical expertise and a deep commitment to providing evidence-based mental health care. My career, spanning diverse settings including inpatient, outpatient, and managed care, has been dedicated to serving individuals and families across the Mid-Atlantic region. Holding an MSW from Michigan State University and advanced training from institutions like the Beck Institute and Behavioral Tech, I am a Certified Diplomate of the Academy of Cognitive Therapists and a proud member of the Maryland NASW.
Grounded Foundations Therapy was born from a desire to create a practice that embodies a healthy work-life balance, fostering an environment where both clients and clinicians can thrive. Beyond my professional life, I cherish moments spent reading, enjoying the beach, pool or just the hammock in my backyard, and supporting my children’s passions alongside my supportive spouse who can always make me laugh. I firmly believe in integrating personal well-being to achieve professional excellence.
