In therapy, there is no “one size fits all!”

I offer treatment in a warm and nurturing environment for people who have experienced trauma, loss and grief in their lives.  My work uses a wide variety of treatment approaches, including EMDR*, clinical hypnosis and art therapy techniques.  I approach each person uniquely, as an individual.  In therapy, there is no “one size fits all!”  Treatment approaches are tailored to fit your individual needs. Therapy can range from a mindfulness DBT** approach to insight-oriented talk therapy with other therapies added as needed.

I’ve been in practice for more than 20 years, including research work with Taghi Modaressi, MD at The Center for Infant Studies and private group practices in Baltimore.  I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) with advanced training at The Institute for Advanced Training and Education where I earned my certificate in Advanced Trauma Treatment. My MSW is from the University of Maryland School of Social Work and my B.A. is from Emory University.
