Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker-Certified (LCSW-C) in Maryland and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Washington, DC. I received my Masters in Social Work from Howard University and have been practicing for almost 30 years. I help adults (individual and couples) with learning healthy communication skills, setting boundaries, learning coping skills, learning stress management techniques, & improving self-esteem and self-worth.

My approach to therapy

My patients often struggle with finding their worth due to poor self-esteem or past traumas.

I enjoy working with patients and being a part of their growth and change as they find their true purpose and begin to live their best lives.

What you can expect from me

As an interactive, cognitive behavioral therapist my therapeutic approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help patients effectively address personal life challenges. I integrate complementary methodologies and techniques to offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each patient. With compassion and understanding I work with each individual to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing.
