Matthew is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) dedicated to providing compassionate, individualized care to his clients. A Veteran with nine years of active-duty service in the United States Marine Corps, Matthew brings a deeply grounded, resilient perspective to his practice, a background that fundamentally informs how he supports and empowers those he works with.

He earned his Master of Social Work from the University of Maryland, Baltimore in 2022 and has been dedicated to the human services field since 2014.

With extensive clinical experience across a wide range of settings, Matthew specializes in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and navigating life transitions. He works with young adults, adults, and older adults in both individual and group therapy environments. His dynamic professional background includes impactful roles in community mental health, the Veterans Health Administration, clinical hospice care, behavioral health urgent care, and residential mental health and substance use treatment tailored specifically for First Responders.

Matthew utilizes an eclectic, client-centered approach to therapy, ensuring that treatment is carefully tailored to meet each individual's unique needs and goals. He is formally trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a highly effective, evidence-based modality that is particularly powerful in processing and healing from traumatic experiences. To foster comprehensive wellness, he seamlessly integrates EMDR with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), motivational interviewing, and mindfulness practices.

When he is not working with clients, Matthew enjoys music, reading, exploring the outdoors, and spending quality time with family and friends.

Matthew is currently accepting new clients for both telehealth and in-person sessions.
