I earned my Master of Social Work focused on working clinically with families and children at the University of Maryland, Baltimore. I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker- Clinical (LCSW-C) currently practicing in the State of Maryland. I have 16 years of experience helping to work with children and adults to decrease feelings of anxiety and depression, develop healthier patterns of thinking, and to process past experiences that are causing current challenges and distress. As the therapist I will use a person-centered approach to assist clients in developing a therapeutic partnership. This therapeutic partnership allows clients to actively engage in change therapeutically.

Lashawnda has been extremely helpful in my treatment goals as she helps me see what is directly sitting right in front of me that I refused to accept and deal with. Her authenticity allows me to see myself and my situation exactly for what it is. Which in turn helps me make the best decisions for myself. And for that, I am grateful.
