I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker, Clinical who offers individual and couples counseling services to address personal goals and mental health concerns. I tailor dialog and treatment plans to meet my client’s unique and specific needs. I meet the client where they are and work collaboratively to achieve those goals. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral and solution-based therapy. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, ADHD, chronic health issues and perinatal mental health including postpartum depression.
Professional Experience
I received my Bachelor of Science in Family Studies from the University of Maryland, College Park and my Master’s in Social Work from the University of MD, Baltimore. I have over 15 years of experience in the field. I have worked in a variety of treatment settings including schools,, adult and children’s hospitals, the local Department of Social Services, as well as teletherapy with adults and adolescents. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, and ADHD. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical abuse or emotional trauma.
Life Outside the Office
I have called Anne Arundel County home for the past 18 years. My husband and I recently moved to Edgewater where we are raising our 3 children. When I am not working, you can find me on various ballfields cheering on my children’s sports teams or at the beach, usually engrossed in a good book. I also enjoy spending time with family and friends.
