Are you struggling with trauma, grief, or navigating life transitions? Do anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges feel overwhelming? Therapy can offer a supportive space to process these experiences and work toward healing. Together, we’ll collaborate to create a path forward that promotes resilience, growth, and meaningful change. With my warm, humanistic approach, you’ll feel supported in building the tools you need to navigate life’s challenges.I am a licensed clinical social worker in Maryland and Virginia, as well as a certified EMDR practitioner and Maryland-approved Social Work supervisor.
With almost 30 years of experience, I specialize in working with young adults and adults facing trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief, and crisis situations. My therapeutic approach incorporates evidence-based techniques like EMDR and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to provide individualized care in a collaborative, nonjudgmental environment.
Let’s work together to help you achieve healing and growth. Whether you’re starting therapy for the first time or seeking guidance in a difficult time, I’m here to support you. Change is possible, and I’m ready to help you start your journey today.
