Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, (LCSW-C) based in Baltimore Maryland. I received my Masters from the University of Maryland School of Social Work and have been practicing over ten years. I have work with individuals with special needs, homeless, the geratic population, individuals who are physically disabled and individuals with mental health challenges. My goal is to provide therapy in a manner that you can learn to accept, cope and write a new narrative so that the quality of your life improves, one thought, one step, one task at a time!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
To start the rapport building, which includes an introduction of each other, information gathering about motiviation for therapy, presenting symptoms and how they are impacting your life and [potential goals you want to work on. Then we would establish a schedule.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My goal is to meet you where you are in your healing journey and be open to where you want to start and being able to relate and validate always looking for a way to resolve the issue whether internal or external.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
Adults highly motivated to do the mental work it take to change their thoughts and behaviors.
