(LCSW-C)

About Me

Thank you for being here and for visiting my profile. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) in the state's of Maryland and Virginia. I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from the University of Maryland School of Social Work. I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Albany, New York in Psychology with a minor in Sociology. I have 6 years of experience in a non-public special education setting as a social worker and 10 years of experience working with young adults with disabilities.

I'm particularly knowledgeable about assisting adolescents and young adults who struggle with developmental and intellectual disabilities especially autism as well as health conditions and illness, grief and loss, bereavement issues, school/peer/bullying issues, trauma, abuse, depression and anxiety. I enjoy working with teens from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds.

I often incorporate a holistic, integrative approach meaning that I draw from multiple modalities including cognitive behavioral, trauma-informed and strengths-based. From my viewpoint as a clinician, human functioning and behavior stem from many life experiences and aspects of our lives: psychological, cognitive biological/physical/medical, genetic, developmental, familial, social, educational/employment/career, spiritual, cultural and societal.

In addition to my employment, I've volunteered as a girl scout troop leader for 13 years as well as taken on an active role in youth mission trips and leadership roles within my church.

My co-workers describe me as hard working, collaborative, compassionate, empathetic and the desire to go above and beyond for the students and families that I work with.

Amy was extremely helpful and exactly the kind of gentle hand I think we needed. I was skeptical of therapy at first. But, Amy's consistent and gentle approach to having us talk about and explore our situation ended up being very helpful. Thank you again, Amy. We wish you all the best.

Amy is a wonderful counselor! I’ve been through 2 counselors on here already and when I landed amy it was a perfect match! She’s helped me soooo much in just a few short weeks I’ve known her! I’m still a work in progress but I know with Amy I’ll get there!
