Great to meet you!

Hello! I have been a clinical social worker for over 15 years. For a number of those years, I worked at Walter Reed National Military Medical center where I specialized in a wide range of mental health issues, including Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Grief and Loss, Sleep Problems, Relationship problems, and Work Stressors.

My approach to therapy

I am compassionate and supportive, but may also challenge you by examining the sources of your pain, questioning old ways of thinking, and then introducing new perspectives and coping skills. My down-to-earth therapy style includes a collaborative, eclectic approach which is tailored to the individual's strengths and weaknesses.

What you can expect from me

Many former clients report that their therapy sessions have inspired new perspectives and ways of thinking, which has enabled them to move forward in life and experience happiness.
