I am a compassionate mental health provider dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity, resilience, and confidence. I believe that healing begins in a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and understood. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship concerns, stress, and challenges related to motivation and personal growth. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, uncertain, or emotionally exhausted. Others are seeking deeper self-understanding or meaningful change. No matter where you are in your journey, I meet you with empathy, curiosity, and without judgment. My approach is collaborative and strengths-based. I integrate evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), grief therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help clients better understand their thoughts and emotions, develop healthier coping strategies, and build confidence in their ability to move forward. The impact of our work together often includes: Increased emotional awareness and regulation Reduced anxiety, depression, or distress Healthier thinking patterns Greater self-compassion and confidence Improved decision-making and motivation The ability to process loss in a meaningful way A renewed sense of purpose and direction My goal is not simply symptom relief, but lasting growth. I strive to empower clients with practical tools and insight so they feel more in control of their lives, more connected to their values, and more capable of handling future challenges independently. Therapy is a courageous step. I am honored to walk alongside my clients as they heal, grow, and create meaningful change in their lives.

Even when things look fine on the outside, you might feel anxious, burned out, disconnected, or just not like yourself. Maybe you're facing a major change, experiencing difficult emotions, carrying the weight of chronic stress or health challenges, or dealing with something you can't quite name. Maybe you're just tired of feeling stuck. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, acute and chronic medical conditions, and life transitions. I welcomes into my practice anyone who’s ready to explore what healing might look like for them. Therapy isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about having a space where you don’t have to pretend. A space where you can exhale, say the hard things out loud, and feel seen. This is the kind of space I strive to create in every session—where you can be real, be heard, and begin to find your way forward.

Hi! I am a Licensed Individual Clinical Social Worker in DC (LICSW). I received my Master's degree in Counseling Psychology in 1985 and my Master's degree in Social Work in 1999. I earned my LICSW in 2002. This past December, I earned my Clinical license in Maryland (LCSW-C). I like talking with people--but more importantly, listening to people. To me, therapy is a block of time. It is an opportunity for people to talk to someone who is not a parent, brother, sister, spouse or even best friend. My goal is to listen to you and to help you consider options in your life.

Before I tell you a bit about me, I wanted to caution any new clients of thinking that a spot is open on my calendar when they schedule. My calendar is unable to sync with my other work calendar so it looks empty, while being very filled. Thank you 😊 I am a well-rounded therapist. I have had experience in very fluid environments, which means I can adapt to any disorder and process with you ways of tackling it together. Furthermore, I build rapport very easily with clients because I am very open and empathetic to what clients are going through. I have been in the field for 11 years now. I help young adults and adults tackle life's challenges through various interventions that help them thrive in the world.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Maryland rather than a city like Baltimore?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Maryland. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Maryland from Hagerstown to Ocean City! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Maryland.

Will my therapist take EAP:Cigna?

Yes! If you use EAP:Cigna you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have EAP:Cigna you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What happens during the first therapy session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
