I have been practicing as a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in the District of Columbia for the last 10 years. I obtained a Masters in Clinical Counseling from the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut. My expertise involves working with teenagers and adults , especially at risk youth. My mantra is to ''keep the hope alive'' by encouraging young people to explore meaning in their lives. I have also worked with the immigrant population in addressing issues of adjustment , assimilation and conflict.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

First session will most certainly be about building rapport and trust. This would be followed by an exploration of the presenting problem.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I bring empathy and good listening skills to my practice.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I take great pleasure in working with teenagers and adults.
