I am a clinical social worker licensed in Maryland with over 7 years of experience working with families and children. I have had the privilege of working alongside some amazing, strong, and resilient people to help them live better lives as they dealt with a wide range of concerns including trauma and post-traumatic stress, attachment issues, relational abuse, autism, ADHD and depression.
My therapy style has been described by others as warm and caring. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, client centered, and humanistic strategies to help you gain insight by connecting your emotions to the resulting thoughts and behaviors in a strengths-focused manner. I will meet you where you are and partner with you to meet your unique and specific needs by allowing you to set the agenda for our sessions and discuss the issues that are most important to you.
