I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) based in Maryland, with 4 years of experience as a therapist and over 10 years as a medical social worker. I specialize in helping adults and families navigate difficult life transitions, empowering them to overcome challenges and become the best versions of themselves in a supportive and compassionate environment. I meet clients where they are in their journey, viewing life through their lens and offering support that aligns with their unique experiences, goals, and needs.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During the first session, I focus on creating a welcoming space where you can feel comfortable sharing your story. I’ll ask questions to better understand your needs, and we’ll discuss your goals and what you hope to gain from therapy. This is your time, so I encourage you to ask questions and share what feels most important to you as we build a foundation for our work together.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My strong communication skills and cultural awareness allow me to connect with diverse individuals, fostering trust and meaningful growth. I am also deeply committed to continuous learning and adapting my approach to meet each client’s unique needs.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I enjoy working with older adults, a group that hasn’t always had the chance to access mental health services. It’s an honor to provide a safe, supportive space where they can share their stories, process their feelings, and reflect on their life experiences. I find so much joy in walking alongside them as they navigate life’s transitions, helping them find meaning, resilience, and peace in this chapter of their journey.

Person-centered (Rogerian)
My practice is grounded in person-centered therapy, where I create a compassionate, non-judgmental space for clients to explore their emotions, identify their strengths, and work toward personal growth. I am passionate about empowering individuals to navigate challenges, honor their unique experiences, and achieve meaningful change.
Strength-Based
I integrate strengths-based therapy into my practice, empowering clients to recognize and leverage their unique abilities and resources to overcome challenges. By focusing on what is working well in their lives, I help clients build resilience, develop confidence, and create meaningful solutions tailored to their goals. Whether navigating transitions, processing grief, or addressing relational challenges, I strive to help clients uncover their inner strengths to foster growth and lasting change.
