Greetings. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in Maryland. I have 15 years experience in trauma-informed care and have experience in many mental health challenges. I believe in holistic approaches to treatment. My goal as a provider is to assist others in developing tools to suit their uniqueness. Our unique lived experience shapes us but we do not have to be defined by it.
During our first sessions I would like to get to know you, your environment, your relationships and the challenges you feel you are experiencing.
My greatest strengths as a provider is seeing each individual person as an individual with unique strengths and challenges.
Trauma-informed care is the center of my practice. I have extensive trauma training and find tools used to calm systems can be very effective in most areas of challenge.
Much of our daily challenges with relationships often stem from our attachment styles. Discovering how we use these early learned behaviors can often assist us in learning to build healthy adult relationships.
My experience working with bereavement for hospice provided me with many tools to share with grieving clients.
Including mindfulness in every day is essential to our busy lives. Mindfulness enhances the development of tools to equip us to meet many challenges.
Building tools for interpersonal communication with ourselves to build successful patterns of behavior can effectively help us change patterns of mental and emotional behavior keeping us stuck in problem states.
