I am currently licensed in Maryland, Colorado, Virginia, and Washington, DC.

I offer virtual therapy, in-person picnic therapy for fall 2024 in Cabin John, MD, and an in-person motherhood group support starting Friday, September 13th, 2024 in Glen Echo, MD.

I have almost 10 years of experience providing clinical social work practices and therapy using evidence-based treatments. I use an insight-oriented approach to therapy, where I focus on the client’s unconscious processes and how they manifest in present behavior, thoughts, and emotions. I have a strong interest in working with clients experiencing life transitions, relationship conflicts, and maternal mental health conditions. The goals I have for therapy include helping self-awareness and understanding how the influences of the past show up currently in a client’s life. I focus on relationship patterns, childhood experiences, unresolved conflicts or beliefs, and what may or may not motivate a client. I help clients reframe current situations and act as a personal trainer for the mind, heart, and soul to help guide the work of listening, validating, clarifying, exploring, empathizing, and understanding.

I have a growth mindset approach to my work and am committed to embracing evidence-based research. That being said, research shows us that success in therapy relies most on the relationship between the client and therapist and that it is a relational experience and an opportunity for connection. What might work for your friend, might not work for you. I am here to serve your best interests and to support what works best for you. I will challenge you and make you feel uncomfortable at times. If you are a person who is not ready or willing for this kind of therapy, I may not be the therapist for you. I look at my job as a way to help folks become historians of their own lives, understand patterns of relationships in their lives, build connections, and encourage folks to stay curious.
