Welcome to Water Lily Therapy! My primary areas of practice include depression, anxiety, chronic illness, grief and loss, low self-esteem, OCD, LGBTQIA+ and trauma. My approach is eclectic, but based primarily in Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with inclusions of motivational interviewing and narrative therapy techniques. When appropriate, I love to incorporate creative interventions such as art, film and humor! I believe that the bond formed between therapist and client is the foundation for healing, change and growth. My goal is to create a safe space for a person to feel truly heard, accepted and valued.
Finding a therapist that "fits" can be extremely difficult. Don't give up! You deserve great care, and hopefully we can start working together on self discovery, compassion and acceptance. I do not use a “one-size-fits-all” model in my work as I view all persons as unique. Here we go!
I am licensed in both Maryland and Virginia. I am an approved Clinical Supervisor in MD for LMSWs/LGPCs and in VA for LMSWs.

Groups
Virtual Group for Chronic Illness/Pain Mixed Age
Living with chronic illness can be difficult, isolating, depressing and oftentimes stressful. It may feel as though you lean too much on family and friends for emotional support; however, it is important to remember that you are not alone in the world of chronic illness. Did you know that almost half of Americans live with at least one chronic condition? Let’s break the stigma and spend time connecting with other people who know the struggle to be where you are. Find support from others with similar experiences. Manage your expectations and practice self compassion.
