Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) in Maryland & Washington D.C., I provide individual, couples, family, and group therapy for clients of all ages. I also offer Crisis Response services. My clinical experience includes working with individuals diagnosed with ASD, Personality Disorders, ADHD, Mood Disorders, Bipolar I/II, PTSD, Depression & Anxiety

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is rooted in holistic wellness. I believe healing happens when therapy is tailored to you—your needs, your goals, and your unique identity. Because therapy is an investment of your time, energy, and resources, I strive to ensure the care you receive is meaningful and effective. Collaboration is at the heart of my practice. Together, we’ll build a balanced therapeutic relationship that draws on your strengths and fosters lasting growth and healing.

I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), with a focus on teaching practical skills for mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. I also integrate other approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), art therapy, and attachment-based work, to create a flexible and client-centered experience.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, we will work together to create a personalized action plan for how we can accomplish your goals and get the most out of your therapy sessions.
