Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinical social worker in Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Virginia. I hold a BA in Health Administration and Policy, as well as a Master of Social Work (MSW) with a dual focus in clinical and macro practice and a specialization in health.

With over a decade of experience in hospital settings, my background includes roles as a case manager, clinical therapist, member of mobile crisis teams, and responder to critical incidents impacting employees across various organizations. These experiences have shaped a holistic and responsive approach to care.

I work primarily with adults (18+) who are navigating mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My goal is to offer compassionate, collaborative support that empowers clients to heal, grow, and thrive.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that healing and growth happen when we engage the whole self—mind, body, and spirit. I view each person as inherently resourceful and capable of transformation, and I’m here to support you in making whatever changes you feel called to pursue.

Together, we will co-create a safe, compassionate space where all parts of you are welcome. This space is designed for exploration, reflection, and connection—a place where you can deepen your understanding of yourself and move toward greater well-being. Whether you're navigating a specific challenge or seeking more clarity and balance in your life, our work together is centered on empowerment, authenticity, and honoring your unique path.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is all about getting to know you—building a genuine connection and gaining a clear understanding of what you’re seeking and how I can best support you. I believe deeply in your capacity for change and growth, and I’m honored to walk alongside you as you move toward the life you envision.
