Hello, I'm Lisa, a master's level certified clinical social worker (LCSW-C) practicing in Maryland (MD) and Washington, D.C. (DC). My journey in social work has been diverse and enriching, having worked in labor & delivery, hospice, crisis response, and faith-based counseling settings. Currently, I offer both individual and group therapy, focusing on creating actionable steps towards meaningful change through a solution-focused approach.
I specialize in supporting clients through various life challenges, including postpartum concerns, women's issues, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, and grief and loss. My goal is to help you navigate these transitions and find a path to healing and growth.
I believe that the therapeutic relationship is crucial to your progress. That's why I prioritize ensuring that we are a good match. I tailor my approach to your unique strengths and goals, integrating techniques from solution-focused, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and strengths-based modalities.
My commitment is to provide individualized and unique care, recognizing that the therapeutic process is a journey that requires patience, vulnerability, and commitment. I'm here to partner with you as you dig deep, learn, and grow towards a life that brings you true happiness.
If you're ready to take the next step in your journey, I would be honored to support you. Let's work together to create the change you seek.
