I have worked with individuals and families in a variety of treatment settings. My experience as a teacher, mentor, athletic coach, and Dean of Students has allowed me to distinguish the different developmental stages of children, particularly adolescent males. I have a dedicated interest in helping the youth to make constructive changes that allow them to reach goals that their confidence blocks them from obtaining. As a Practitioner working with families, I help clients make substantial changes that center around practical strategies and evidence-based practices that allow them to build strong, nourishing relationships.

I am a psychotherapist with clinical and academic training in social work and women’s and gender studies. My work stems from an anti-racist, anti-oppressive, and critical social work perspective, and centers on collective relationship building. My approach to therapy is relational at its core and recognizes our need for connectivity with other beings, with ourselves, and with our environments. I have a warm and eclectic approach to therapy and use various methods to help support my clients. I am also currently enrolled in EMDR Basic Training with Deany Laliotis of the Center for Excellence in EMDR Therapy.

Therapy is a unique relationship that allows you to discover who you really are and the patterns that shape your life. It can foster emotional growth, affirm your identity and curiosity, and gently challenge you to create change. As a therapist who values a deep and meaningful connection with my clients, I offer a safe, authentic space that invites the process of healing to begin. Whether you face difficulty coping with anxiety, life transitions or negative body image, have a tendency to experience the same problems repeatedly, feel stuck, or just want to increase self-awareness and gain insight, I will meet you where you are.

I have a passion for helping individuals and couples navigate a range of behavioral, emotional, physical, and spiritual concerns. My experiences have not only provided me with an in-depth knowledge of psychological theories and evidence-based interventions, but also an intimate understanding that healing and growth through psychotherapy cannot take place without a strong acceptance, appreciation, and integration of the unique strengths, needs, and identities of those with whom I work. My responsibility as your therapist is to walk alongside you in a collaborative manner that will help facilitate the change and healing you desire.

First and foremost, my responsibility is to create an environment where you feel welcomed, safe and supported. In our sessions, you can expect that I will spend a lot of time engaging in stimulating conversation that helps me to learn who you are, how you show up in the world, and what path(s) to take in helping you achieve your goals and desirable outcomes. As your therapist, you can expect for me to be actively present with you, while encouraging and supporting you along the journey of creating the life you desire.

Starting therapy can be scary, but finding the right therapist can be life changing! If you are currently facing changes in mood or motivation, experiencing symptoms of anxiety or depression, in need of support through life transitions, or if you're a couple aiming to improve communication, intimacy, and overall connection, I am well-suited to help you. With over a decade of professional experience, I've worked with diverse individuals and couples addressing various mental health and relationship concerns. Regardless of our backgrounds, we all sometimes need support through life's changes and deserve to be heard and understood.

I am a clinical psychologist licensed in New Jersey, Ohio, Maryland, and Virginia. Over the past 20 years I have worked collaboratively with clients on a wide range of issues, and am comfortable utilizing a variety of techniques designed to help empower my clients and establish a greater sense of integrity within their lives. My training in psychotherapy has been influenced by a wide variety of philosophies and theories, and I am skilled in helping clients become more aware of deeper connections to their problems, whether it be in their relationships with others or in their relationship with themselves.

At this point you might be feeling drained, burned out, resentful, or ashamed. It is exhausting white knuckling it through life, constantly watching out for the other shoe to drop and feeling responsible for everyone and everything. Not to mention that highly critical inner voice that harps on the "should's" and tells you you'll never be good enough. Maybe you're experiencing a major life transition or this is how you've gotten used to living. There is hope, I've got you, you don't have to go at this alone. I specialize in helping anxious, creative, empathetic, self sacrificers find relief within themselves and their relationships.

My name is Kionna and I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I received my Master of Science in Clinical and Mental Health Counseling from McDaniel College. There are many stigmas associated with therapy. I am passionate about breaking the stigma of mental health for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) and LGBTQIA+ populations. The decision to start therapy can be difficult for many. I can assure you that every step of the process will be intentional and purposeful.

Starting with a new therapist can be a daunting experience for those who have never done it before and even for those who have. Finding the right therapist that you connect with and can build a great relationship with is key to not only making a change, but also to feeling heard and accepted. I do my best to ensure clients feel comfortable to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe environment without judgment. Taking these first steps can be hard and I seek to make this process easier and less daunting for you. (Not currently accepting insurance for couple's therapy)

Choosing the right therapist is at least as important as the decision to enter treatment. Self-disclosure and, ultimately change can only occur in an environment in which the patient feels respected, safe, and secure in both the therapist's sincerity and expertise. I bring the maturity, skill and compassion derived from 20+ years of providing therapy for depression and other mood disorders, anxiety, eating disorders, and relationship issues. I am committed to helping my patients recognize and change painful patterns that keep them from fully engaging in healthy relationships, or leave them mired in self-defeating thoughts and behaviors.

Women in power struggling with anxiety and/or relationship challenges. On the outside it appears as though you "have it all" but what no one knows is the mental and emotional anguish that you go through on a regular basis.

You've already made the first step by coming here. I help women in power who are used to managing A LOT but struggle with some day-to-day life stuff learn skills and tools to feel empowered in every area of their lives.

Therapy can be both a scary and rewarding experience and finding the right therapist is extremely important.

I will work with you to challenge yourself, think critically about what you are struggling with, and solve the issues you believe may be holding you back from becoming the best you that you can be.
