Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Hello! I offer therapy services at our Columbia, MD clinic.

I am a seasoned psychotherapist who has been practicing in the Columbia, DMV community for decades. I have two specialites, trauma and addiction. Most of my clients have been in addiction recover for decades and return to therapy to address unresolved childhood issues, improve their functioning in relationships and simply to improve their quality of life. I work with other populations as well, those with anxiety, depression and stress. I feel honored to support others on their journey to peace and wellbeing.

My latest favorite treatment modality is called internal family systems. This approach views the mind as a system of distinct parts guided by a core compassionate “self”. This approach fits perfectly with how I view human functioning. Other approaches I use are cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy help to regulate emotions.

Treatment is always individualized based on the clients needs and wishes. I view myself as a guide who journeys with you on the path you chose. I seek to support your power to live the life you desire.
