I am a Licensed Social Worker that has been doing counseling/therapy for over 10+ years. I am licensed in the states of Maryland and Florida working with Individuals and Couples of all ages. I am so grateful you are choosing to continue your journey towards healing. I say continue rather than start because it is my belief we all have innate strengths towards inner healing. You taking the time to read this, right now, demonstrates to yourself that you have internal strength, motivation, and realization that you deserve a meaningful and joyful life. I started my career in Psychotherapy when I learned how precious life can be when we have a healthy balance in our lives. Sharing with you my experience and assisting you with achieving your harmony is my purpose in life. It's been my experience that often times having a compassionate witness and support throughout our difficult times can be the difference in overcoming difficulties and struggles.
I resonate strongly with the work of Dr. Richard Schwartz who sees us as having various inner parts that all serve to function our individual internal system. I use this framework combined with a strengths based perspective, where you and I will work together to identify how your unique internal system operates.
There are no “bad” or “broken” parts of you. Only parts that may have learned to adapt in ways that no longer serve you. Let’s work collaboratively to find healthier ways to find peace and balance in your life. I am excited to work alongside you on this journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
