Hello! I am so glad that you are here. I have 10 years of clinical work experience and experience working with a variety of populations. After completing an undergraduate degree in Social Work, I completed my Masters of Social Work at the University of Maryland School of Social Work in 2013. I have also completed a post graduate certificate in Childhood trauma. At this time, my primary practice areas are anxiety and panic disorders, depression, phase of life and relationship issues, women’s issues, grief, perinatal mental health and LGBTQ issues. I work with individuals of all genders over the age of 16. However, I am most passionate about working with women and the LGBTQ population.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, I will review practice policies, discuss limits of confidentiality and collect background information such as symptoms, family history, strengths, and stressors. The content of follow up sessions will based on the needs of the client. Clients can expect me to be an active participant practicing through a trauma informed and gender affirming approach.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My approach is nonjudgemental and I have been told by previous clients that my approach is nonthreatening and gentle. I believe that my clients are the experts in their own lives and I will work with you at a comfortable pace.
