I have experience in inpatient mental health, outpatient mental health, and private practice settings.  I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and also a Board Approved Clinical Supervisor in the State of Maryland and also a Board Approved Clinical Supervisor.  I work with clients of many mental health issues and typically work with children, adolescents, and adults.  I work primarily with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia, and other mental health diagnoses as well.

I am an eclectic therapist and primarily work from a CBT theoretical background including techniques from other theoretical backgrounds as well.

I offer a calm, warm, and empathetic space for clients to work through their mental health struggles without judgement.  I invite you to schedule an appointment to start your journey to achieving your fullest potential.

I am a licensed certified social worker-clinical (LCSW-C) with 22 years of experience providing therapy across a wide range of clinical settings. I have worked with abused and neglected children, individuals experiencing homelessness, crisis intervention teams, and clients seeking faith-based counseling. My work spans individuals, couples, and families, with a strong focus on helping clients navigate trauma, life stressors, and emotional challenges.

I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Maryland. My orientation is grounded in psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral theory, and I utilize solution-focused and reality therapy approaches. In cases involving trauma or abuse, I incorporate ego-strengthening techniques to support resilience, healthy adaptation, and emotional functioning.

Clients often respond well to my practical, evidence-based approach to therapy. I strive to provide competent, thoughtful care tailored to your unique needs and goals. If you are seeking a clinician who values collaboration, insight, and meaningful progress, I look forward to supporting you on your therapeutic journey.
