I am a dedicated and compassionate Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 8 years of experience helping individuals navigate the complexities of their emotional and psychological well-being. My mission is to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings, develop coping strategies, and achieve personal growth.

I have worked with children, individual adults, and families. I assisted in facilitating family meetings, therapeutic treatment groups, and provided community-based services for people impacted by trauma. I have provided services in a variety of settings and with diverse clients, including both long and short-term interventions. I currently work in Montgomery County Public Schools as a School Social Worker working with students who have disabilities.
