About

I am a licensed Social Worker in Maryland with over 6 years of experience working as an educator social worker and advocate for the State of Maryland. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, and difficulty adjusting to life changes. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse during childhood. My counseling style is warm, interactive, and down to earth. I am a therapist that looks like you, talks like you, and wants you to be the best you! I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels.
