LCSW-C
Female
Welcome! I'm an LCSW-C practicing in Maryland and I earned my MSW at the University of Maryland at Baltimore. I have over thirty five years of professional, independently-licensed experience and, because I've loved the time I've spent in this work, the time has flown! I've spent much of my time in the industry in private practice and as such, I've lots to share.
Like many of my generation, I entered the workforce as globalization took hold and company loyalties waned. I've remained agile, working in a broad variety of locations, contexts, etc., moving for great opportunities and leaving less desirable ones. Additionally, I've been entrepreneurial, owning my own businesses, which isn't something most therapists can say. I've been creative and courageous designing services that reflect the best of who I am and how I believe I can serve. I continue to do so. I become wiser as I go, so I guess you could say I'm earning my own 'hard knocks MBA'. It's been an exciting ride, complete with highs and lows and everything in between.
I've been called a visionary, which is really neat to hear. I am a contrarian, like my father. A boss of his said dad was a non-conformist. This is not necessarily negative. I was, for example, one of the first/only lesbian life and love coaches and matchmakers back in the early 2000's. Those of you under 50 might not realize what courage that one took at that time!
