Thoughtful therapy for adults, families, and young people.
Psychotherapy and family work for adults, couples, children, and the families around them — practiced by a clinician with twenty years of experience across hospital, community, and outpatient settings.
A blank slate isn't emptiness. It's possibility.
The Latin tabula rasa means a clean tablet — the surface where a new story can be written. Therapy here begins with that premise: not that something is broken in you, but that the next chapter deserves a thoughtful place to be put down.
What I work with.
Some clinicians try to do everything. I'd rather do a few things deeply. These are the experiences I've trained for, sat with, and continue to deepen my practice around — though the conversation often touches everything else, too.
Twenty years of sitting with what's hard to say.
I'm a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-C) based in the Washington–Baltimore corridor, with two decades of clinical experience across hospital inpatient settings, community mental health, school-based programs, and private practice.
My career has moved across most of the clinical settings a therapist works in — sole counselor at a small college, clinician across Maryland public schools, and most recently lead clinician for the flagship research site of the EPINET program at the University of Maryland and Sheppard Pratt, applying a novel clinical approach to adolescents experiencing first-episode psychosis. The practice I've built now serves adults, children and adolescents and the families around them, and couples in periods of meaningful change.
Three areas where I focus most of my practice.
Specialization isn't a limitation — it's how the work gets to be deep instead of shallow.
