Thank you for taking the time to visit my page. I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) in the state of Maryland with over 20 years of experience in the human services field and more than a decade as a licensed therapist. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, mood disorders, and more. I specialize in supporting those with a history of trauma, both from childhood and adulthood. My therapeutic approach is person-centered, ensuring that each individual feels respected and empowered to take charge of their own journey. I believe in meeting you where you are and collaborating to create goals that align with what you want to explore or improve within yourself. I utilize various techniques, including cognitive behavioral therapy, strength-based approaches, solution-focused strategies, and motivational interviewing. Each person is unique, so I tailor my approach to what works best for you. If you're ready to take steps toward greater self-understanding or personal growth, I’m here to support and empower you every step of the way. I look forward to working together! Heather

I became a Chemical Dependency Counselor in 1995 and received my MSW in Clinical Social Work from Ohio State in 2002. I have been a Licensed Independent Social Worker since 2005. I have worked mostly with adults and some teenagers dealing primarily with depression, anxiety, and mood disorders. I have a holistic perspective of mental wellness and view counseling and other healthy life choices as a way to achieve personal empowerment and actualization. This includes family of origin work and working to let go of ingrained thinking and behaviors that hold a person back from achieving the quality of life they want and deserve. I am trauma-informed and comfortable working with members of the LGBT community. I also have experience working with grief and loss issues. My primary modalities are Cognitive-Behavioral, Solutions Focused, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy. Counseling is a client-driven process and is about the issues and concerns the client wants to address and work on.
