My Approach to Helping
Life is at its most challenging right now, and you are in the right place to get assistance in navigating through what is causing your mental health concerns. Together we can identify what is causing you to be here today and address those concerns with the intent of getting you to be as mentally and emotionally healthy as possible. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. As a licensed clinician with over 20 years of professional work experience, I hold a Master's of Social Work from the University of Maryland School of Social Work. As a licensed certified social worker-clinical, I am licensed in Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. I have had the opportunity to work with adolescents, young adults, and older adults addressing phases of life issues. I have experience in helping clients with depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, and family conflicts. I focus on working with adults using a cognitive behavioral approach to help my clients think about issues and situations differently. I believe in a holistic approach, in meeting each client where they are and treating each person with respect. I strive to develop a therapeutic rapport and alliance with my clients and provide the necessary support to enact change in their lives.
