Each new day creates an opportunity for you to think and live differently. I am a highly skilled and versatile LGBTQ+ affirming clinician and have worked in Social Work for over 25 years. I am an LCSW-C in Maryland and the District of Columbia and specialize in working with transitional aged youth and adults ages 18+. I have partnered with individuals experiencing many challenges, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, gender identity, addiction, and aging. I value the dignity and self-worth of all people. I believe recovery and healing are possible. Let's work together to untangle the root causes of your problems, repair brokenness, and create a path to wellness.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our sessions are a journey of self-discovery. Your experience is uniquely your own. You will leave each session knowing that you are not alone. I will accompany you, without judgment or bias, as we navigate whatever challenges are presented and will allow you the time and space you need and deserve.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I take a person-centered and strength-based approach to therapy. I meet all my clients where they are and don't force them to be where I think they should be. I draw on multiple theoretical orientations and techniques, but lean toward client driven cognitive behavioral therapy. I will sometimes walk behind you, ahead of you, and most definitely beside you.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength is my ability to connect with people of all backgrounds. I enjoy helping individuals grow and understand their full potential.
