I am a licensed certified social worker-clinical (LCSW-C) in Maryland. I have been in the field for 15+ years working primarily with children, adolescents and young adults. My primary focus has been on attachment, anxiety, trauma, anger and related concerns. Due to the nature of the settings in my background, I have often utilized a client centered, solution focused approach, initially and then modified to cognitive behavioral, motivational interviewing or a more eclectic approach based on the goals of those that seek support. I tend to have a relaxed and calm demeanor which I utilize during sessions. I enjoy learning about people and look forward to meeting you!

Those are big ways of saying that I have worked with a wide range of problems and a range of client populations. I am an eclectic counselor who believes that every client is different and deserves a unique treatment plan that is created together. I will work diligently alongside you, creating a treatment plan that will help you reach your goals in counseling. I also deem confidentiality most important and will always protect your rights in our counseling relationship. Seeking out counseling can often feel scary and overwhelming and my goal is to help you feel comfortable, accepted, and cared for. Not only is it my job to help others, but it has been a passion engraved in me since I was a kid. Other than confidentiality, i believe that listening to my clients makes the most difference. The last thing a hurting person needs is another person giving them advice. I focus on listening to my clients and hear their needs and wants. Once I have grasped the issues at hand, together we will work on bringing you to a healthier place where you feel peace. If you are wanting to be heard and understood than I am the counselor for you; so go ahead, take this next step with me and let's begin the journey of becoming the you that you want to be!
