I’m a passionate mental health professional with a Doctor of Public Health (Dr.PH) and a Master of Social Work (MSW). My educational path has taken me through some fantastic programs, including Walden University and the University of Maryland School of Social Work, where I gained a solid understanding of both clinical practice and the broader public health context surrounding mental health.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working in various roles that have shaped my approach to therapy. Currently, I serve as a psychotherapist at TalkSpace, where I conduct assessments and craft personalized treatment plans for clients dealing with challenges like anxiety, depression, and trauma. I’ve also worked as a VA Case Manager with the Montgomery County Coalition for the Homeless, where I focused on providing support to veterans navigating their mental health journeys. This experience taught me the importance of empathy, advocacy, and addressing the unique needs of each individual.

My therapy philosophy revolves around being client-centered. I truly believe that everyone has the potential for growth and healing. My aim is to create a warm and welcoming space where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. I often use cognitive- behavioral therapy techniques to help clients recognize and challenge negative thought patterns. This process empowers them to develop healthier coping strategies and take an active role in their own healing.
