Hi! I am a clinical social worker (LCSW-C) based in Maryland. I am also licensed in DC. I received my MSW from Adelphi University in NY and I have been a practicing therapist for 9 years. I help adults process life transitions, complex trauma, and difficult relationships to develop self-understanding and new ways of coping with the challenges that life can throw at us.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we will discuss background information, establish therapy goals and work together to create a safe space for self-exploration.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a first-generation American and an IPV survivor, my lived experiences have shaped my therapeutic approach. I possess an understanding of the challenges faced by individuals from immigrant backgrounds, including cultural complexities and the pressure to succeed. Having personally navigated the trauma of intimate partner violence, my therapeutic approach is rooted in fostering resilience and empowerment.
