Creating Well-Balanced Therapeutic Relationships
I firmly believe in holistic wellness and cater my practice to helping my clients achieve their goals. Therapy is only effective when it meets your needs and caters to you as your own unique self. Therapy is also an expenditure of time, money, and energy. I work with my clients to ensure they receive the quality care they deserve. When we combine our strengths, we can create a well-balanced therapeutic relationship.
I specialize in the Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Model. I focus on teaching mindfulness, interpersonal, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation skills. I also incorporate art therapy, attachment work, and CBT modalities. I can meet for therapy sessions via telehealth video conferencing.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) in the state of Maryland and in Washington, D.C. I provide individual, couples, family, and group therapy for individuals of all ages and Crisis Response. My experience includes working with clients diagnosed with ASD, Personality Disorders, ADHD, DMDD, ODD, Bipolar Disorder, BPD, Depression, PTSD, and Anxiety. In addition, I work with LGBTQ+ clients, clients living/working in the USA who are citizens of another country, including refugees, individuals who struggle with substance use disorders, as well as individuals in recovery.
