SERVICES
Individualized, strengths-based care for teens, adults, couples, and families — built around each client, never a template.
TEENS · ADULTS · COUPLES · FAMILIES
01 — TEEN & ADOLESCENT THERAPY
Teens experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, school avoidance, emotional regulation difficulties, parent–teen conflict, or concerns related to screen and gaming use. I have particular experience with treatment-resistant youth and teens entering therapy for the first time.
An insight-oriented, solution-focused approach drawing on CBT and exposure work to build confidence and coping skills. I coordinate closely with parents and schools to help reduce conflict at home and keep support consistent across settings.
02 — ADOPTION, FOSTER CARE & ATTACHMENT
Adopted and fostered children, teens, and the families raising them — including families preparing to adopt, navigating reactive attachment disorder, abandonment and trauma, identity exploration, or blended-family adjustment.
Support grounded in real depth of experience with attachment and trauma — working with families at every stage, from adoption readiness through the adolescent years, and with both the individual and the whole family system over time.
03 — ADULT THERAPY
Adults managing anxiety, depression, executive-functioning challenges, or the quiet weight of work and career stress — anyone feeling stretched thin and ready for steadier ground.
The same individualized, whole-person approach applied to adult life: practical coping strategies grounded in CBT and solution-focused methods, with attention to the cultural and life context behind the symptoms — not just the symptoms themselves.
04 — COUPLES & FAMILY THERAPY
Couples and co-parents facing communication challenges, child-rearing disagreements, or the strain of parenting a child who is struggling — anyone feeling unheard or worried about the impact of conflict on their kids.
Solution-focused couples work addressing communication and shared challenges, alongside parent coaching, parent education, and parent-wellness support — rebuilding connection and partnership, not just resolving the immediate conflict.
05 — TRAUMA-INFORMED THERAPY
Clients affected by abuse, neglect, foster-care experiences, chronic stress, or adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) — anyone whose past continues to shape how safe or steady the present feels.
Safety, trust, and empowerment come first. We move at your pace — processing experiences when you’re ready, not before — while building practical coping skills and steadier emotional footing over time.
06 — BARIATRIC EVALUATION
Adults preparing for bariatric (weight-loss) surgery who need the pre-surgical psychological evaluation required by most surgical programs and insurance providers.
A comprehensive evaluation assessing readiness for surgery, paired with real preparation — not just a checkbox — for the emotional, behavioral, and lifestyle changes that come with long-term success.
Board-approved clinical supervision for LCSW candidates building their practice in Maryland.
