About

Have you been having a hard time finding the joy and balance in your life, despite your best efforts? Have you found yourself feeling down, stressed out, anxious, or just plain burned out? There are many reasons why individuals choose to engage in therapy but no matter what your needs may be, you can rest assured that you are in the right place for a life re-set! I am a Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) licensed in Maryland with over 7 years of experience working as an individual and family therapist. Over the course of my practice, I have successfully worked with clients on a wide range of concerns including difficulties with self-esteem, depression, anxiety, relationships, parenting, ADHD, and career challenges. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma and emotional abuse in unhealthy relationships. It takes courage and self-determination to seek a more fulfilling life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you to reach your goals!
