My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style. - Maya Angelou Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker/ therapist in the states of VA, MD, DC, DE, and FL. I have 20 years of experience employed in behavioral health facilities, private practice, correctional centers, veteran affairs, group homes and also providing medical social work/ therapy to oncology, emergent, and crisis patients in the hospital setting.

I focus mostly on behavior change. That might be a change from how you think about yourself, relationships, work, or something else. I can help you explore that. My role is to support you in believing that change is possible.

I also work in an open-ended environment. There is no contract or set number of sessions. Therapy should be flexible, and everyone's frequency is different. Most people notice growth within 10 sessions.

As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide compassionate, evidence-based, and stigma-free care to support healing and lasting growth. With a background in emergency and trauma care, I take a collaborative, holistic approach that considers the connection between mind and body. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, and mood disorders through a personalized combination of psychotherapy, medication management, and lifestyle support. My goal is to help you feel heard, empowered, and supported every step of the way, at a pace that feels right for you.

Energetic and patient-focussed Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner committed to providing diverse evidence-based, and patient-centered psychiatric health services across the lifespan. Possess excellent skills in conducting patient Assessments, Diagnosing mental health conditions, and developing individualized and age-appropriate treatment plans.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, poor self-esteem, negative thoughts, unhealthy relationships or the inability to say NO! Are you tired of feeling like nothing will change or your stuck in life because you don't know what to do to make it better? I focus on adults using CBT, REBT, Person Centered and Motivational interviewing to assist clients in learning more about themselves and their perspective on life. I have experience working with many different mental health disorders including depression, anxiety, stress, marital/relationship issues and career struggles to name a few.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and hope to create a space where our most authentic selves feel seen, heard, and thrive. I bring warmth, understanding, and occasional humor to sessions. With years of experience working with folks navigating trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, or life transitions, I meet each person where they are in their journey.

Hi there! If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, discouraged by unmet goals, or simply ready to better understand yourself and move forward with greater clarity, therapy can be a space to reflect, reconnect, and grow.

I believe meaningful change often begins with feeling genuinely heard, supported, and understood. My approach is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and practical guidance, with the goal of helping you build insight, develop new perspectives, and strengthen the tools you already possess.

I bring nearly 10 years of experience in the mental health and personal development field, with experience across outpatient therapy, university counseling, community mental health, integrated care, and other supportive clinical settings. These experiences have shaped my ability to work with individuals from diverse backgrounds who are navigating life transitions, stress, personal growth, relationship concerns, and other emotional challenges.

My practice is best suited for adults seeking routine outpatient psychotherapy who are able to safely engage in telehealth care. If you are currently experiencing an acute mental health crisis or require a higher level of care, I may recommend more intensive or specialized services to ensure you receive the level of support you need.

Therapy is a second career for me. I worked 25 years in journalism listening to stories as a reporter; often traumatic stories. When I learned that it is possible to find growth and healing after traumatic events, I chose to become a therapist to walk with individuals on their journey to finding peace and understanding.

I've worked with several victims of domestic violence, sexual violence and child abuse; and first responders, such as law enforcement, emergency medical personnel and search and rescue. I am unafraid of the hard stories; and can respect and find solutions for clients who cannot speak aloud the horrors they've experienced or seen.

I also love working with people who are ready to find their path to authenticity, joy and fulfilment.

At Shore House Wellness Collective, I help individuals better understand their mental health and take meaningful steps toward feeling more like themselves again. I work with patients experiencing anxiety, depression, mood changes, trauma, life transitions, substance use and recovery, stress, sleep concerns, or simply a sense that something isn’t quite right.

My approach centers on comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, medication prescribing and ongoing medication management, combined with brief, evidence-based psychotherapy when appropriate. I believe medication should be individualized—not simply prescribed—and that patients deserve to understand their treatment options, potential benefits, and what to expect. I work collaboratively with you to identify what is working, what isn’t, and when adjustments may be needed.

Psychotherapy is often brief, focused, and goal-oriented rather than open-ended. Depending on your needs, sessions may incorporate supportive therapy, coping strategies, psychoeducation, behavioral approaches, stress management, and practical tools designed to help you make progress between visits.
