Hi! I received my Master's of Social Work (MSW) in 1994 from the University of Maryland Baltimore, and I love working with people to improve their mood, solve problems, and develop coping skills. I am also a BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and Neurodivergent ally.
My approach to therapy is to listen to what you, the client, have to say, then partner with you to create a plan to achieve your therapy goals. I provide a caring, non-judgmental environment in therapy, and an approach to problem-solving that works for you.
In our first session, we will talk about what brought you to therapy, how you have been feeling and coping, and what you've tried to address the problem. We will also discuss your childhood and family history (because the past influences the present!), and previous mental health history. Together, we will determine therapy goals that will help you create the change you're looking for.
