About
Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LSWC-C) based in Maryland. I help adolescents and adults struggling with their mental health. I graduated from Salisbury University’s Advanced Standing Program with my Master’s degree in Social Work, and have been practicing for over 9 years.
I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families.
During my time at SU, I was a member of Phi Alpha Honor Society and the National Association of Social Workers (NASW). I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. My theoretical perspective includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Strength’s Perspective.
First session
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, answer questions, and review expectations for therapy, as well as begin to build trust and rapport. We can dive into the specific challenges you're facing, which will help us create specific goals to work towards in follow-up sessions.
Strengths
My greatest strength is being able to provide a safe space to discuss problems. I'm a very caring and empathetic person which allows for our sessions to be a no judgment zone.
Ideal clients
I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. In addition, I work with individuals and families to determine their needs and connect them with community resources.
Treatment methods
Strength-Based
I believe in focusing on your strengths instead of your weaknesses. With a positive mindset, I can help you build on your best qualities, find your strengths, and improve your resilience.
