Areas of expertise

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-C) in Maryland with professional experience supporting women and mothers. There are so many “have-to-dos” in life, we often feel as if there’s no room to live as if it’s our life. Working with me provides clarity in what has not been working, what changes you want to see made, and what action steps to take to get you there.

I work well with clients who are self-aware and insight oriented who are looking to transition into intentional decision-making and action.

❋ Professional, Career, Workplace Stress

Work is a big part of our day. When we feel in misalignment with our values, time, and energy in regard to career - it can be frustrating and stressful. When we experience something traumatic at work, it can change our outlook entirely. We process this together and create a plan of action.

❋ ADHD / Neurodiversity

How our brain works is a core part of our personality and our capacity to show up in our life. ADHD does have an impact on our quality of life. Knowing your truest, most authentic self, living as her, and valuing that person is a journey all women deserve. 

❋ Mothering & Identity

The transition into motherhood and the identity shifts that continue as we grow can be overwhelming. Motherhood is a relationship we are meant to enjoy. Learning the systems, self-regulation strategies, and boundaries you need to access more joy in motherhood are great places to start. We also discuss self-regulation and family of origin work.

❋ Executive / Leader Life Balance

Leadership is another relationship or role that can come with a lot of challenges. Whether you’re an executive, manager, or entrepreneur leading your entire business, finding purpose and managing the stress are both important. Setting the intention to enjoy life outside of work deserves to be part of the conversation.

Work with Me

I specialize in supporting creative and ambitious ADHD, anxious, and sensory sensitive women and mothers in clarifying their goals, gaining tools in self-regulation, and creating a specific action plan to reduce stress- all to better understand self. We’ll work together to address the systems and cycles contributing to overload and better understand your values and priorities to deepen your relationship with yourself and others. I support in navigating career stress, financial therapy, and postpartum/parenting - for professionals and creatives.

Work with me to grow a deeper understanding of how your mind works, learn how ADHD shows up for you, to increase opportunities for self-regulation to ease the tension and frustration, to learn how to work within your seasons for more self-compassion. Together we’ll find clarity in your goals and the specific actions to take to get you closer to your goals. 

Reconnect with your body and mind as you recenter yourself - you are the priority.
