About
I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors experiencing depression, anxiety, and issues related to parenting, trauma, technology/social media use, peer conflict, intimate partner violence/conflict, and major life transitions (eg. first-time parenting, leaving for college, returning to work, divorce, empty nest). I created and taught a graduate-level course at Johns Hopkins on social media's effect on mental health. My clinical training focused on survivors and offenders of sexual and domestic violence. I was awarded a fellowship for my work with teen moms on parenting, life skills, and college readiness. I use solution-focused and evidence-based techniques (i.e. CBT, ACT, positive psychology) that capitalize on clients’ innate strengths. I operate from a systems mentality appreciating the role of environment in personal challenges. My goal is to establish a collaborative relationship built on trust to help my clients build their inner resources.
