I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed both in Delaware and Maryland, providing psychotherapeutic services to indivudals, couples and familes. I received my MS in Special Education from Hunter College, NYC, and I hold an MSW from the University of Maryland School of Social Work. I have experience in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), working with grief and bereavement, along with working with people with autism and developmental disabilities, along with experience in trauma work. Currently, I am also an adjunct professor at Wilmington University, teaching courses in conflict resolution and mediation. In the past , I have taught courses at Johns Hopkins University, Coppin State University, College of Notre Dame in Baltimore and Bowie State University. I also have experience with Alternatives to Violence (AVP), Restorative Practices, mediation with couples & families, and issues facing the LBGTQ community. I have facilitated workshops on grief and bereavement, informed consent and working with families of children with disabilities. I am passionate about helping people imagine and fulfill their best self, assisting people in learning coping skills. Being raised in Brooklyn, NY, I am always on a quest for the quintessential slice of pizza.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
