Licensed Master of Social Work

I am a licensed social worker with a specialization in children and families at our Olney, MD clinic.

I have experience working with children, adolescence, young adults transitioning into adulthood, and domestic violence and sexual assault survivors.
I have spent several years in the classroom supporting students with behavioral and emotional needs as well being a general education mainstream preschool teacher.
My approach is a combination of strength based, solution focused and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

I come from a place of empathy and understanding believing all humans regardless of age have a right to dignity and respect.

I believe that therapy is most effective as a collaborative process between myself and the client. It is important for me to provide a safe space as we explore and learn together. Clients will not feel judgment but instead a focus on strengths as we build upon the preexisting ones and develop new ones over time.

I believe that you are the expert of your life and would love the opportunity to join with you in your journey towards living your best, authentic life.
You have taken the first step by reaching out and I echo Brene Brown’s sentiments that, “only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.”
