Hello! I am a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor in Maryland. I graduated from Thomas Jefferson University with a Master's in Community Trauma Counseling. My work primarily focuses on trauma, attachment issues and sex addiction. I support adults and couples who are struggling with relationship issues. I also support adults struggling with anxiety and depression.

In therapy, we can help challenge and process these behaviors and experiences.

I have been working in the field of social work for more than 20 years. Since being in the field, I have developed experience as a recruiter within foster care, management and training of foster parents and staff, developing clinicians and helping them grow as therapist.

As my practice’s name implies, we can all feel broken at times. And to compound matters, we might face discrimination through no fault of our own—on the basis of race, sexual orientation, gender, finances, age, health or ability status, or neurocognitive differences.

So that’s the bad news, which you probably already know.

I believe that everyone already has what it takes to feel better, make powerful personal changes and to heal - and it is my job to create a safe and nurturing environment so that each individual can uncover and grow their own skills. I feel privileged every day to be able to do this work and bear witness to the strength, resiliency and bravery of the people who sit across from me.
