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.

Marriage counseling, also known as couples therapy and relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Thriveworks marriage counseling in Silver Spring, MD is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples. Some examples of common focuses within Marriage counseling include:
Marriage counseling works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular marriage counseling sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.
Marriage counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend marriage counseling for 12 weeks. However, marriage counseling may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress. Marriage counselors and therapists at Thriveworks in Silver Spring, MD work with their clients to create goals, decide on ideal timelines, and establish treatment plans.
