I am a Board Certified Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C), Therapist in the State of Maryland with over 15 years of experience working with individuals, communities, and families. I provide therapy sessions to individuals who are seeking tools and strategies to overcome challenges related to life transitions, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, stress, anxiety, and depression allowing them to achieve inner peace and live the life they truly deserve.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In your first session with me, you can expect a warm and welcoming environment where you will feel comfortable expressing yourself openly. We will start by discussing your reasons for seeking therapy and any goals you hope to achieve. Together, we will explore your concerns in depth, and I will gather information to better understand your unique experiences and needs.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a provider, my greatest strength lies in my ability to provide a compassionate, judgment-free space where clients feel supported and empowered to their authentic self.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I find fulfillment in working with individuals 18 and above, including the geriatric population, who are experiencing stress and overwhelm due to significant life changes. These clients are motivated to overcome this transitional stage in their lives and are seeking tools and strategies to do so but may not know exactly how to proceed on their own. My expertise lies in providing guidance, support, and actionable steps to help them navigate these changes and achieve the desired outcomes in their lives.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I am skilled in using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy a structured goal-oriented form of psychotherapy that allows clients to focus on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviors. I use the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach as a means of empowering my clients with practical skills and insights that enable them to break free from negative cycles and build resilience to navigate life’s challenges more effectively. To achieve this, I work with my clients to identify how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected and then implement strategies to modify unhelpful patterns.
Grief Therapy
I have extensive experience utilizing grief therapy to help my clients navigate through the emotional process of loss, providing support, coping strategies, and a safe space to explore and express their feelings. Together, we work towards healing, resilience, and finding meaning amid loss. Whether grieving the death of a loved one, a significant life change, or another form of loss, I tailor therapy to meet each client's unique needs, providing practical tools and emotional support to facilitate their journey toward healing and growth.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I have extensive experience with Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), a collaborative and future-focused approach that promotes positive change in a relatively short timeframe. Instead of dwelling on clients' problems, their existing abilities and resilience are emphasized. I utilize SFBT to help clients identify their strengths, resources, and goals, and to explore potential solutions to their challenges which is done through targeted questioning and active listening.
Eclectic
I use an eclectic treatment approach, which means I draw from various therapeutic modalities and techniques to tailor treatment to each client's unique needs. This allows me to create a flexible and personalized therapeutic experience that best addresses the individual challenges and goals of my clients. For example, if a client presents with symptoms of anxiety, I might integrate elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help them challenge negative thought patterns, and mindfulness techniques to promote relaxation and present-moment awareness.
