I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical licensed in Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, and complex trauma. I keep a warm, empathetic space where clients explore how thoughts and past experiences impact their mood and overall well-being. I genuinely value connection and collaboration in the therapeutic relationship.
My approach to therapy is a strengths based, client-centered approach. My goal is meeting individuals where they are and helping them connect to their authentic selves. I believe therapy should not be one-size-fits-all, but personalized to each client’s strengths and needs.
I want potential clients to find my style to be thoughtful and supportive. I emphasize empathy, active listening, and building trust. My goal is to create a safe space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow.
