Clinical Social Worker in Baltimore, MD

About My Clients

Often clients come to me after having negative experiences in therapy in which they have felt either judged or misunderstood or it’s their first time calling a therapist and they hold a lot of anxiety about the process. I provide a counseling environment where clients feel heard, valued, and truly accepted.

My Background and Approach

Trained as a clinical social worker, I am mindful of meeting a client where they are. I steer away from a “one-size fits all” approach and apply an eclectic range of theories and modalities tailored to the needs of my clients. I do not come to the privilege of working with my clients with an agenda or pathologizing framework. Rather, I am eager to learn how a client has seen and experienced the world around them.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a member of the LGBTQ community, I have a history as an active participant in the political movement of the 1990’s when fighting for equality could be a scary and dangerous thing to pursue. I was a member of the Lesbian Avengers and Human Rights Campaign and volunteered and worked for Whitman Walker Clinic in Washington, DC fighting for the health and rights of the LGBTQ+ community. I created the award winning Community Anti Violence Project of Baltimore to address the needs of LGBTQ+ victims of domestic violence.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
