Hi—I’m Andi, an LGPC in Maryland, and I help kids, teens, and families who feel stuck in big emotions, constant stress, or recurring conflict. If your child worries a lot, shuts down, melts down, or seems “fine” on the outside but overwhelmed on the inside, you’re not alone—and there is a way forward that doesn’t rely on shame or just “trying harder.” In sessions, I create a calm, safe space where kids can be fully themselves. I’m warm and supportive, but also practical and goal-focused. We’ll slow down, get curious about what behavior is communicating, and build a real-life toolbelt for emotional regulation, confidence, and healthier relationships. I use evidence-based approaches and child-centered methods—play, games, creative activities, and talk—so therapy feels approachable and effective. Telehealth options are available when helpful. I also partner closely with caregivers. You’ll get clear communication, doable strategies, and shared goals—because lasting change happens when the support system feels empowered, not judged. If you’re looking for a therapist who understands deeply feeling kids and wants to help your family feel calmer, more connected, and more confident, I’d love to help.
