Sasha began her professional career in real estate and for more than 20 years assisted families in making one of the biggest decisions of their lives. After a number of years, Sasha recognized her natural ability and desire to help people in a greater, more meaningful capacity and began to pursue her desire to become a social worker. At the beginning of her career, Sasha worked at Springfield Hospital Center working with chronically and severely ill patients and as an Employee Assistance Program Counselor with Montgomery County Public Schools. Adding to her broadening experience, Sasha was a Program Therapist for adolescents detained by the Maryland Department of Juvenile Services before transitioning to providing treatment an In-Patient Hospital Therapist at Brook Lane.

Most recently, Sasha worked for Family Healthcare of Hagerstown, a non-profit community health center providing therapy for individuals and couples struggling with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, delusional disorders, grief and loss, parenting challenges, trauma and, more.
She believes the best way to evoke change is to actively partner with clients in the therapeutic process. She helps her patients determine their goals and then, uses a strengths-based and solution focused perspective as well as a cognitive behavioral approach to engage her clients and work towards change. Her areas of expertise include depression, delusional disorders, anxiety, stress management, self-esteem, grief and loss, anger management, mood and anxiety disorders, personality disorders, aging issues, the process of grief, parenting challenges, relationships, separation and divorce.
