I believe that individuals have great capacity for growth, change and healing.

I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Motivational Interviewing, The Seven Challenges, and Mediation and specialize in working with people struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, parenting issues, school issues, marital issues and life cycle transitions.

I received my bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Social Work from Western Maryland College and my Masters in Social Work from University of Maryland School of Social Work. I have a certificate in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), The Seven Challenges, Family Mediation, and am a Maryland Board of Social Work Examiners Approved Supervisor.
