About Me

    I earned my Master’s of Social Work degree from the University of Kentucky in Lexington, with a specialization in clinical social work. During my clinical training, I provided psychotherapy services for adults and adolescents at a private practice.

    I focus on helping clients navigate life transitions, internet and pornography addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety, and relationship challenges. Utilizing techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I strive to tailor my clinical approach to meet the unique needs of each client.

    Having previously worked as a website designer, I developed an interest in internet and social media overuse and addictions. I am particularly interested in the impact technology has on our psychological and social well-being, and I assist both adults and adolescents in overcoming addictive behaviors and harmful narratives.

    My approach is rooted in compassion, goal-oriented strategies, and collaborative care. I am grateful to have the opportunity to work with my clients and accompany them on their personal journey.

    Outside of her clinical work, I enjoy drumming, connecting with other musicians, cooking, and exploring new trails and cities.

    About Me

      I received my Masters of Social Work from the University of Maryland. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Maryland, DC, and Virginia. I am also Internal Family Systems Level 1 trained. I understand that every person is unique and so is their therapy journey. My job as a therapist is to meet clients in their space.

      My experience includes individual, group, couple’s, and family therapy. Therapy may include skills building; however, my true passion lies with supporting others towards a positive view of self. Life has many challenges which may lead to clients feeling stuck. I aim to provide a space where clients can confidently define their paths forward.

      I utilize many different interventions including, but not limited to, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI).

      My goal as a therapist is to tailor my support to the client’s needs.

      About Me

        I received my Master’s Degree in Clinical Community Counseling from Johns Hopkins University and I’m a licensed clinical professional counselor in Maryland. I have over a decade of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in a variety of treatment settings. I’ve worked with individuals in their homes and schools who are at high risk for school failure, placements, or hospitalization. I have assisted individuals and families resolve personal and environmental problems which prevent them from achieving their highest level of psychosocial functioning.

        I’m well-versed in several counseling techniques, including but not limited to psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, REBT, and mindfulness interventions. I have experience working with a wide range of diagnosis, with an emphasis in treatment of anxiety, depression, and ADHD. I have a compassionate approachable demeanor and take a client-centered approach. I am dedicated to my clients and care greatly for their growth and desired change. Therapy does not have to be intimidating or anxiety-provoking. It can instead be an interactive, thought-provoking, learning experience.

          Nature and Mental Health: How to Ground Yourself Outside

          Grounding in nature isn’t about fixing everything—it’s about finding a moment of steadiness. Research supports what our bodies already know: time outside lowers cortisol, improves mood, and restores perspective. Even a short walk or sitting quietly by a tree can offer immense relief.

              Dr. Sasha Hileman is truly a gem. We were on her waitlist for years, and finally got the chance to work with her. She is a top-notch child psychologist who has a deep understanding of neurodivergent children and their development.

              Dr. Hileman’s expertise goes beyond just working with children; she is also exceptionally skilled in parenting coaching. Her insights and advice have been invaluable to me as I navigate the challenges and joys of raising a neurodivergent child.

                The Impact of Social Media on Young Men

                One major concern is the effect of social media on mental health. Studies have linked prolonged social media use to increased risks of anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem among young people. For young men, who may feel societal pressure to appear strong and stoic, these platforms can exacerbate feelings of inadequacy.

                About Me

                  We live life in relationship with others, often focusing on their needs. Sometimes, we lose sight of ourselves, resulting in feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and self-critical. I invite you to take a “time-out” from the chaos of life and focus on YOU. Let’s address the challenges you may be facing at home, work, or school, and within your romantic, friend, and family relationships. I have experience working with adolescents, young adults, adults, couples, and families addressing a range of mental health issues.

                  Creating a non-judgmental space for clients to feel heard and understood is the foundation of my treatment. I balance practical skill building, utilizing client strengths with addressing the emotional needs of each client. I specialize in working with adolescents, young adults, and adults to address symptoms of anxiety and depression. I am skilled in several evidence based therapeutic modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solutions focused therapy, and family systems therapy. Additionally, I utilize psychoeducation and mindfulness. I received my Masters of Arts in Counseling with a concentration in Marriage, Couple, and Family Counseling from Messiah College.
