Accepting Clients

I went into the therapy profession knowing that the empathy I have for others can move mountains. It’s a gift I was given at a young age.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Bathesda, MD

About My Clients

My clients are usually new to therapy. I have a particular passion in working with a client from a fresh therapeutic perspective. Most of my clients are referred by word of mouth, as you’ll realize how impactful the work we do together can be. I help guide clients through life’s challenges, hardships, losses, and negative experiences via understanding the whole person and how these events have impacted them. The power of a vulnerable voice being listened to and normalized can be liberating.

My Background and Approach

During our first appointment we will complete a thorough report on who you are as an individual, review pertinent history and how it relates to you now, and explore current presenting issues. This is called the “intake appointment” where I will begin to learn about you so I can support you as whole. I take a solution-focused and client-centered approach. This means that we will be collaborating together to get results, while focusing on both your imminent issues asking place as well as past experiences that have shaped who you are today. What you’ll find throughout the first couple of weeks of therapy is an opportunity to tell your story from a clean slate. This experience in itself often helps individuals self-reflect to gain insight on their own narrative. We understand how to take back our voice, learn to cope with difficult feelings, identify triggers that we were previously unaware of, and take responsibility for roles that we’ve played. I’d love to be a co-pilot on your journey.
