Life is unexpected and, at any moment, we can be derailed from our path and forced to face unbelievable challenges. I specialize in working with adolescents, young adults and adults facing a disruption within their lives, such as with a serious illness like cancer, as well as parents, family members and caregivers who are affected by what their loved one is forced to endure. My experience also includes grief and loss, caregiver fatigue, survivorship and struggles related to emerging adulthood.
I offer a safe space filled with compassion, empathy and encouragement where I work with clients on coping strategies, self-care and reducing symptoms of distress. I use a strengths-based approach, helping clients examine both their inner and outer resources and supports, thus emphasizing a client’s own resilience.
My work has led me around the world, helping young people and adults face the unimaginable. I am here to be in your corner as a support and an advocate and help remind you of your own strength, power and resilience when you need it most. I am licensed in Maryland and the District of Columbia and look forward to getting to know you!
