It can be incredibly difficult to untie the emotional knots that complicate relationships, self-confidence, and understanding the past. Therapy is a safe opportunity to uncover these core issues and learn practical techniques that foster deeper insight. I believe that with this insight you can make meaningful, lasting changes.

Therapist

I work with people who feel like life is happening to them—those carrying anxiety, depression, or overwhelming stress, still feeling the weight of past experiences or painful relationships, or noticing that old coping patterns like substance use no longer do what they used to. Most of the people I see arrive with a growing sense that something isn't working, and a willingness to try something different. My approach is collaborative, warm, and focused on understanding what's getting in the way and building a path forward together.

Immediate openings available. I believe therapy should feel collaborative, supportive and practical. I strive to create a safe, affirming space where you and/or your child feel understood and empowered to build skills, confidence and resilience. I primarily work with children ages 6 through young adulthood, partnering with families to support lasting change.

I am a licensed clinical social worker in Maryland with 28 years of experience supporting children, adolescents and young adults. I earned my Master's Degree in Social Work 1997 and have worked across a wide range of settings, including child and adolescent psychiatry.

My work incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), with a strong focus on helping clients manage anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and the effects of trauma, grief. I also have experience with women and older adults.
