I earned my bachelors degree in social work with a minor in psychology from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and my masters degree in social work from Widener University in Pennsylvania. I grew up in Silver Spring Maryland, and now live in California with my husband and daughter. I chose this field because I have always been interested in understanding peoples experiences, emotions, and personal growth. I value creating a safe and supportive space for individuals feel heard, understood, and free from judgment. Philosophy of Care: I believe everyone progresses at their own pace. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive and non-judgmental environment while helping clients build, healthy coping skills, strengthen communication and navigate life's challenges with confidence.
