I am a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist (LCMFT)
  in the state of Maryland (LCM319) and a clinical member of the  
  American Association for Marriage and Family Therapists (AAMFT). I
  have a bachelor's degree from Messiah College in Family Studies and
  a master's degree from the University of Maryland in Marriage and
  Family Therapy.

I have worked with individuals, couples, and families in a variety of settings, including the University of Maryland's Family Service Center, Greenbelt CARES crisis counseling services, Greenbelt CARES family therapy clinic, and Access Counseling Services of Columbia, where I provided marriage counseling and family therapy.

I am trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, an empirically validated approach to helping couples improve and strengthen their relationships.  I am also trained in child-centered play therapy and have been a parent trainer for the Strengthening Families program, as well as a leader for social skills groups for children.

I am passionate about working with couples and families to improve communication, develop intimacy and closer family bonds, and strengthen relationships.
