Great to meet you!

Maryland LCSW-C & West Virginia LICSW.

For the past 23 years, I have built a diverse background in therapy, case management, child welfare, education, and behavioral health. I've had the honor of helping individuals, couples, parents, children, homemakers, retirees, and professionals from a wide range of occupations and backgrounds, including first responders, nurses, teachers, attorneys, and military personnel.

I support those navigating stress, parenting, ADHD, behavioral concerns, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, anger, self-esteem, addictions, life transitions, relationship and family changes, retirement, career changes, and health-related challenges.

I work with students from elementary school through college, medical school and other professional programs, supporting academic, social, and emotional needs, including studying, time management, school adjustment, bullying, friendships, stress, and ADHD-related challenges.

ROLES: Throughout my career, roles have included Psychotherapist, Educator, Care Counselor, Children’s Behavioral Health Consultant, Family Services Social Worker, Behavioral Health Case Manager, Transition Specialist, and Blood Services Director. My experience also includes consultation, court testimony, adoption and foster care, crisis intervention, supporting survivors of domestic and sexual abuse, juvenile sex offender treatment programs, EAP, and Abuse Intervention Programs.

INFORMATION: Availability: Monday–Thursday until 10:00 p.m. Crisis Services: I am unable to provide active crisis services through telehealth therapy. Couples Therapy: My current couples therapy caseload is full. I hope to offer additional availability in the future.

My approach to therapy

My approach is genuine, nonjudgmental, collaborative, and individualized. I believe therapy should be a safe and supportive space where you feel seen, heard, understood, and accepted, without fear of judgment. I will meet you where you are while offering support, encouragement, honest feedback, and guidance. You don't have to figure everything out on your own. Life can be complicated, and sometimes simply having someone to talk with makes all the difference.

I have had the opportunity to work with people from many different backgrounds through some of the most difficult and meaningful moments of their lives. Over the years, my clients have taught me that healing and growth look different for everyone. Some people begin therapy knowing exactly what they want to change, while others simply know they do not want to keep feeling the way they do. Maybe you’ve been holding it together for everyone else, but inside, you’re struggling. There is no single path that works for everyone, so our work together will be shaped by your experiences, needs, strengths, and goals.

I am incredibly grateful for the clients I have had the privilege of working with throughout my career. Helping someone better understand themselves, recognize their strengths, heal from difficult experiences, strengthen important relationships, and create meaningful change is why I continue to genuinely love the work I do.

My work draws from CBT, DBT, EFT, Motivational Interviewing, strengths-based, trauma-informed, psychodynamic, attachment-based, behavioral, relational, solution-focused, and supportive therapies. I also help clients navigate relationship concerns, including communication challenges, parenting, trust, intimacy, infidelity, divorce, and patterns of conflict. When appropriate, partners may be included in sessions to support treatment goals and address relationship patterns together.

What you can expect from me

Seeking support is not always easy or comfortable, and taking this step is something to be proud of. Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin building trust. We will talk about what brought you to therapy, what has been happening in your life, and what you would like help with. We will also complete a biopsychosocial assessment to learn more about your history, experiences, relationships, supports, medical history, and other areas important to understanding you and your needs.

There is no expectation that you share everything at once. We will work at a pace that feels right for you. Therapy can involve difficult conversations, but I don't believe every session has to feel heavy or clinical. We all need someone to talk to and confide in, and I want you to know that you can talk with me about all parts of your life, from the things that are most difficult to the accomplishments, exciting moments, and everyday experiences you want to share. That is why I am here.

I genuinely care about the clients I work with and value the relationships we build. I have had the privilege of working with clients over extended periods of time and supporting them through different seasons, accomplishments, challenges, and changes in their lives. I never take for granted the trust someone places in me when sharing the most personal parts of their life.

Everyone's journey is different. We will focus on what matters most to you, and wherever you are when we first meet. You deserve a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood. Together, we will work through what feels difficult and help you move toward greater peace, clarity, and confidence.
