Biography
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), with professional interests in anxiety, depression, student athlete issues, interpersonal and relationship concerns, and college student success. In therapy I use a combination of interpersonal and cognitive behavioral therapy within a systems theory framework and I will often utilize a variety of mindfulness and distress tolerance interventions. Put another way, I believe that while the past has an influence on the lives of students, and provides a foundation for the development of both helpful and harmful behaviors, ultimately every student has the ability to succeed while learning to manage distress. My goal is to help you find the strategies that work best for you. I love learning about things people are passionate about (especially if I don’t know much about them), and could talk all day about sports and my family!

Joshua Johnston, also known as Joshua Johnson, was a portraitist active in Baltimore, Maryland, between 1790 and 1825, and the first African American to gain recognition as an artist. Primarily a painter of members of the slave-holding aristocracy, he was rediscovered by Baltimore genealogist and art historian J. Hall Pleasants in 1939.
According to Baltimore County court chattel records, Johnston was the son of a white man, George Johnston, and an unknown enslaved Black woman owned by William Wheeler Sr., a small farmer. Wheeler sold Joshua Johnston to George Johnston in 1764 for 25 pounds, half the price of an adult male field slave. George Johnston arranged that Joshua would be freed after completing a blacksmith apprenticeship, or on turning 21, whichever came first; Joshua would go on to complete his apprenticeship with William Forepaugh and was freed on July 15, 1782. Between 1796 and 1824, he was listed in most Baltimore City directories as a painter or limner. In the 1817-1818 directory, he was also recorded as a “Free Householder of Color.”

Joshua Johnson (c. 1763—c. 1824) was an American painter from the Baltimore, Maryland area of African and European ancestry. Johnson is known for his portrait paintings of prominent Maryland residents and their children. He was the "earliest documented professional African-American painter".[1]
Life
It was not until 1939 that the identity of the painter of elite 19th-century Baltimoreans was discovered by art historian and genealogistJ. Hall Pleasants, who believed that one Joshua Johnson painted thirteen portraits. Pleasants attempted to put the puzzle of Johnson's life together; however, questions on Johnson's race, life dates, and even his last name (Johnson or Johnston) remained up until the mid-1990s, when the Maryland Historical Society released newly-found manuscripts regarding Johnson's life.[2&#
