I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with children, adolescents, and adults, in individual, couples, and family therapy settings. I have been working in mental health since 2007; after I graduated from University of Maryland with a Master’s in Social Work, I began my career at Baltimore County Department of Social Services working in foster care with youth ages 14-21. Since departing from DSS, I have been working in outpatient community mental health settings offering counseling and behavioral supports as well as school based services. Additionally, I am a Board Approved Supervisor through the Maryland Board of Social Work Examiners, and have been a Field Instructor for the training of student interns.

My goal for therapy is to connect with people and work side-by-side creating motivation for positive change in their lives. I have worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, various economic and vocational issues, communication problems, LGBT-Q topics, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, mindfulness, strengths based, and positive psychology. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
