Therapists in Maryland

Life is an individual process based on individual growth and evolution. I have 10+ years of experience as a licensed Social Worker (LCSW-C) in Maryland with clients age 3 to 54 including Military Service Members and their families, both in deployed and garrison environments. I am a trusted confidant and adviser, willing to travel life’s journey through growth and evolution with each client. I have an eclectic therapeutic approach grounded in cultural self-determination and cognitive behavioral therapy. I have a PhD in Social Work and serve as an Officer in the Maryland Army National Guard. My expertise lies with individuals managing depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and daily life challenges. I have a passion for using aspects of the client’s culture - including music (especially hip-hop) and the arts - to enhance the therapeutic process. I have worked with clients across a number of cultures and ethnicities. I have experiences as an adjunct faculty member and training students and professionals in face-to-face and online settings. I am technologically inclined and consider the use of technology to enhance the healing process and daily living. I welcome the opportunity to help you find creative space for independent thinking, growth, and healthy living! I expect each client to be successful!

I am licensed in Maryland and have been practicing for 16 years. I offer a variety of counseling services with an eclectic approach depending on the needs of the client. I utilize many different techniques grounded in current evidence based practice and theories. My main therapy focus is cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), which helps you understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and how all three work together and influence each other. I help you learn how to identify and change negative, destructive, or disturbing thought patterns that have a negative influence on feelings and behavior. Instead of allowing your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to control you, I will help you to control them. I am certified in Mindfulness Therapy, which can help if you find that you are spending too much time "in your head." It is also effective for many other difficulties including concentration and focus. I am CBT-I certified (Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Insomnia). If you are having trouble with insomnia, tired of being tired, not being able to fall asleep or stay asleep, I can help you overcome that. Sometimes life can be challenging and even difficult, and having some help and guidance can mean the difference between struggling and conquering. Whether it is stress, anxiety, depression, behavior difficulties, life in general, or anything else that is causing distress, discomfort, or despair, I can help you to overcome, take control, and conquer. Life has hurdles and sometimes we need a little boost to get over them. I look forward to working with you and giving you that boost!
