Taking the first step in therapy can feel difficult, and exciting, especially in this time of COVID-19. It is an important first step in achieving the life you want for yourself. I am a licensed clinical social worker in private practice in Urbana, Maryland. Together, we will work to identify your goals that you want to achieve, such as understanding and learning to manage your anxiety, mood, or dealing with current life stressors as well as traumas. You will learn things about yourself that you may not have realized, such as your wonderful strengths, which will help you in developing skills to reach your personal goals.

I work with clients from a perspective of mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapies, EMDR and brainspotting. As we work together, we will find which treatment approach best works for you. You may find that throughout therapy your needs will change and our work together will change along with your needs.

I have experience working in outpatient and residential treatment centers. I have worked with adults on issues related to parenting, depression and anxiety, grief, trauma and life cycle transitions. My style is warm and supportive, and direct when needed. I look forward to meeting you and joining you on your therapeutic journey.
