I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker-Certified (LCSW-C) in Maryland and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Washington, DC. I received my Masters in Social Work from Howard University and have been practicing for almost 30 years. I help adults (individual and couples) with learning healthy communication skills, setting boundaries, learning coping skills, learning stress management techniques, & improving self-esteem and self-worth.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions and then move into the specific challenges you are facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As an interactive, cognitive behavioral therapist my therapeutic approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help patients effectively address personal life challenges. I integrate complementary methodologies and techniques to offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each patient. With compassion and understanding I work with each individual to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing.
