Licensed Master Social Worker

I am a clinician at our Columbia, MD clinic who provides therapy services!

A compassionate Licensed Master Social Worker with over a decade of experience working with children and adolescents. My practice is rooted in cultural competency, mindfulness, and interactive/play therapy, allowing me to create a safe and engaging environment where young clients can explore, heal, and grow.  Alongside my focus on mindfulness and play therapy, I specialize in supporting children and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and school-related stress. I have a deep passion for supporting children and adolescents through the unique challenges they face, while also working closely with women in adulthood who seek a supportive space for their personal growth.  My clinical practice integrates evidence-informed and CBT approaches rooted in mindfulness

In our work together, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel understood, respected, and empowered. I honor each person’s story and aim to walk alongside them as they work toward their goals at their own pace.

I believe that “it takes a village to raise a child,” and I value the importance of community and collaboration in supporting a child’s overall well-being. My hope is to be part of the “village” that helps nurture strength, growth, and healing in the lives of the individuals I serve.
