(she/her)
Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in the state of Maryland. I have been in the profession for over 20 years and my areas of focus maternal and child health. My therapeutic approach is cognitive behavioral therapy. I also use a strength-based and solution-focused approach to guide you toward emotional healing. I foster a therapeutic environment that is non-judgmental, and client focused which leads to greater understanding and enables me to support clients authentically.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
We will start with brief introductions and then a discussion about the current challenges that has them seeking therapeutic support. We will review my policies for communication when we are outside of session and the expectations for support when or if a crisis arises.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I present a welcoming environment that has allowed adults to feel comfortable sharing and recognizing that their confidentiality will be maintained. I have vast experiences within many different public social settings and can help with sharing resources and opportunities to expand networks. I have the ability to help clients develop comprehensive plans and assess their progress.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I seek to use my counseling skills to support you recognizing the strengths and resources you possess. Shift and replace the negative thoughts that have challenged the views that you have of yourself and those around you. We will work collaboratively to develop coping skills and practical strategies that will promote an improvement in your overall wellbeing. I l look to support clients in telehealth sessions (only) which allows me to offer you a safe, private, confidential space to explore your thoughts and feelings.
