MEET YOUR THERAPIST

I earned my Masters in Social Work from the University of Maryland, Baltimore. I have served in various capacities within the field from case management, to providing substance abuse counseling, school social work, individual and family therapy, as well as work with couples. I have worked with several agencies to provide community-based therapy, school-based therapy, as well as clinic-based therapy to children, families, and adults. I have a wealth of experience helping clients to navigate an array of mental health diagnoses, such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma related disorders, and other diagnoses.

​

The therapeutic relationship is the most important component in the therapeutic process and leads to real change. I am ready to start where you are and work towards helping you achieve your greatest potential! I would like to engage you in the process of change, empower you to take charge of your life, increase motivation and hope, and provide you with a new perspective that increases mindfulness-becoming an observer, instead of getting caught up in the process. I would also like to focus on your strengths, resources, and previous successes to challenges in life. These are very important. When we recognize those previous strengths and resources and develop creative ways to reimplement them into our current space, hope, self-efficacy, and self-esteem begin to rebuild. Imagine how different your life would be. 

 

Therapy will center on your concerns; who and what is important to you and a vision of your preferred future. We will build new resources through several theoretical frameworks that include solution-building, skill-building and behavior therapy interventions. 

 

Awareness + Desires + Shift + Decisions = Change.
