I contend each individual is unique and resilient. My goal in therapy is to find and respect those qualities, and to work together in identifying coping tools that will promote profound and lasting changes. I have been practicing for nearly ten years. My training has covered trauma-informed care, crisis intervention and psychodynamic therapy. I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology at the University of Maryland and my master’s degree in clinical social work at the University of Pennsylvania. I earned my independent clinical social work license in Washington, DC. My focus is on individuals who have experienced trauma as well as those who struggle to navigate today’s high-pressure, fast-paced environment. I have worked in a multitude of clinical settings, offering therapy for traumas related to suicide, rape, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, self-injurious behavior and major life adjustments. My clients can feel assured of a respectful, confidential, and judgment-free space. I am a deeply empathetic and emotionally aware person. I am dedicated to my client’s well being and their capacity to heal.
