For several years before starting a private practice, I worked as a clinician at community-based mental health clinics, nonprofit and private practice groups in Maryland, DC, VA, and Pennsylvania. As a clinical social worker, I am passionate about helping children, adults, couples, families, and immigrants heal and improve their quality of life. My expertise focuses on facilitating a therapeutic process that creates harmony between one's mind, body, and soul. My treatment approach integrates a broad range of interventions influenced by evidence and trauma-based theories, CBT, DBT, and alternative therapies.

My clinical interests and areas of expertise include trauma recovery, health and self-care, mood and anxiety disorders, grief and loss, domestic and sexual violence, parent training, LGBTQ, and cultural and feminist intersectionality.
My style is empathic and non-judgmental. I tailor treatment to meet each individual's unique goals and desires. Choose your goals, we will work together to determine the roadmap to healing, harmony, and wellness.
