I am a self-proclaimed nerd who will laugh at your dark humor and also will not be afraid to sit in the "mud" with you. I may use colorful language and definitely don't mind if you do. I am not for everyone and that is okay.
I am a Maryland native that spent a long time being good at jobs that didn't make me happy. So I went back to school and became a social worker. Now I love delivering individual therapy at Creative Ways Therapy (in person and virtually) and here at my personal LLC.
I can usually be found in my home office with my senior dog during working hours when not in the CWT office. In my free time I enjoy DND, video games, kickboxing, and finding ugly items at thrift stores to give as gifts to close friends.
I love my work. For me, it is a gift to learn and grow with each client I have the opportunity to work with. It is an honor and a privilege to be a part of your therapeutic journey and I cannot stress enough how much I discover from bearing witness to your work. I am not a "fixer" and do not get uncomfortable with difficult emotions.
I can also tell you that I am a skilled and practiced trauma therapist. Working with trauma is a delicate balance of building a solid foundation of safety and trust, then knowing when to wait, when to move forward, and when to pull back and pause. Widening the "window of tolerance" for a client can seem overwhelming, but I promise that you are in good hands and that your physical and emotional safety are my priority.
I invite you to look more at what I consider to be my areas of focus as you move forward with selecting a therapist. I work with clients ages 12+. All work through my LLC is virtual; I only see clients in person through Creative Ways Therapy.
