Our Story

Clinical Leadership Rooted in Compassion

With over two decades of experience in the mental health field, I have dedicated my career to the intersection of clinical excellence and operational integrity. As a Licensed Certified Social Worker–Clinical (LCSW-C), my mission is to elevate the standard of behavioral healthcare through expert supervision, strategic program development, and trauma-informed care and advocacy.

Our Philosophy

I believe that high-quality mental health care requires more than just clinical skill—it requires a robust structural foundation. Throughout my career, from the fast-paced environment of behavioral health urgent care to the long-term impact of community-based programs, I have focused on creating environments where both clinicians and clients can thrive.

Areas of Expertise

My background spans hospital, residential, school, and outpatient settings, giving me a 360-degree view of the mental health landscape. I specialize in:

Clinical Supervision & Mentorship: Cultivating the next generation of social workers through evidence-based training and professional growth.

Program Development: Building and optimizing programs (like ACT, IOP-Substance Use) from the ground up to ensure they meet the highest regulatory and ethical standards.

Crisis Intervention: Navigating complex, high-acuity cases with a focus on stabilization and continuity of care.

Multicultural Competency: Integrating cross-cultural communication into clinical practice to serve diverse and underserved populations effectively.

Our Mission

We strive to create safe spaces where healing begins and growth is nurtured every day.

Effective therapy begins with a safe space, but sustainable healing requires a system that works. My goal is to build those systems and support the clinicians who lead them.

Whether you are looking for therapy, clinical supervision, program consultation, or leadership in behavioral health operations, I bring a wealth of experience and a proven track record of success.

Professional Journey

My path has taken me from the Department of Children & Family Services in Los Angeles to leadership roles across Maryland’s premier behavioral health clinics.

Clinical Director & Supervisor: At Sherwood Behavioral Health and Interdynamics, Inc., I’ve led administrative and clinical operations, ensuring that policy serves the person.

Mental Health Consultant: At DCMC, GBMC, and Sheppard Pratt, I worked with crisis response teams in urgent care settings, bridging the gap between immediate intervention and long-term recovery.

Liaison & Educator: I have served as a departmental liaison to law enforcement and community partners, providing essential training on recognizing social and mental health needs.
