It takes courage to seek out change, and together, we can identify and address the concerns that brought you here, aiming to help you achieve mental and emotional well-being.

With over 20 years of professional experience, I hold a Master of Social Work from the University of Maryland School of Social Work.

I specialize in working with adults, employing a Cognitive Behavioral approach to help you view issues and situations from different perspectives.

Building a strong therapeutic rapport and alliance is crucial to me, as it provides the necessary support for you to enact meaningful change in your life.

If you're ready to take the next step towards a healthier, more balanced life, I'm here to support you. Let's work together to navigate your challenges and achieve your goals.
