About
Through my own life's journey, I have an intimate understanding of the need for meaning and purpose in our lives and to feel fulfilled.
I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical with 26 years of experience supporting adolescents and adults. I specialize in helping clients navigate challenges such as depression, anxiety, grief and loss, ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, trauma, and relationship difficulties. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where clients feel empowered to explore their experiences, gain insight, and build healthier patterns. I help clients achieve a sense of meaning, purpose, and peace in their lives.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work Mental Health from Columbia University. My approach integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and dialectical behavior therapy to help clients regulate emotions and challenge negative thought patterns. I also draw from psychodynamic therapy to address the impact of early life experiences.
I am passionate about helping clients find balance, healing, and fulfillment. While the journey can feel challenging, the rewards of growth and self-discovery are worth it. I encourage you to take the first step toward care and I look forward to connecting with you and supporting your path toward lasting change.

Codependency therapy with our Thriveworks Silver Spring therapists helps people reduce and overcome codependent habits, which involve sacrificing one’s own needs to meet the needs of others (usually those closest to them). It helps to improve one’s well-being as well as the health of their relationships.
Codependency therapy works by helping the individual recognize, understand, and accept codependent patterns — including why and how they might’ve developed. In addition, it focuses on helping the individual to kick these tendencies and build more balanced relationships that allow them to support others without neglecting their own needs.
Codependency therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Codependent counseling can last for a few weeks, months, or longer. It depends on the exact needs of the client as well as the severity of their codependent challenges and other needs or preferences.
If you believe that you or someone close to you might benefit from counseling for codependency or dependent personality disorder therapy, it is best to know what symptoms are associated with these conditions, and what type of help is out there.
Codependency is when the level of dependence you have with your significant other or the other person in your life becomes so unhealthy that it causes problems in other areas of your life:
The following may be signs of codependency:
There are options out there for help with professional psychologists. Professionals can help you or someone you know to move forward in life with a healthier mindset and healthier relationships thanks to counseling for codependency or dependent personality disorder therapy.
