Licensed Master of Social Worker

Hi, I provide [therapy](https://www.columbiapsychiatry-dc.com/psychiatric-care/mental-health-counseling-and-therapy/) services at our [Gaithersburg](https://www.columbiapsychiatry-dc.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/location/gaithersburg-md.md) clinic.

I have experience working with children, teens, and families in the school setting. I use a strength-based, person-centered approach to explore anxiety, stress, emotional or behavioral difficulties, family challenges, transitions, the effects of difficult experiences, and trauma.

I recognize that each person’s experiences are unique, so I tailor my approach to meet clients where they are. I draw from evidence-based therapeutic techniques while creating an environment where clients can build self-awareness, develope healthy coping skills, strengthen relationships, and work towards meaningful change.

I believe therapy should be a partnership, and I work to make the therapeutic process feel comfortable, supportive, and empowering. I’m here to listen without judgement, help you make sense of what you’re experiencing, and support you in developing the tools and confidence to move forward.
