I also model transparent communication with my clients. This is done as a part of establishing trust and in support of a client centered relationship. I bring an equity perspective in my work with clients and deep understanding of how current systems of care have created harm. I do my best to not replicate the harm. I listen and reflect while encouraging my clients to fully embrace their own inner healing intelligence.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia. For over two decades I have supported individuals, families and communities create positive lasting change.
