Great to meet you!

I am a Virginia-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about helping people rediscover their mental and emotional strength. I am excited and passionate about helping you navigate the rough waters you have experienced, or may be experiencing. I have been in the mental health field since 2017 and have a Bachelor's and Master's in Social Work. I have worked with clients in their homes, the community, and in the hospital setting. Wherever I go, I treat each client with the respect, dignity, and compassion they deserve

My approach to therapy

In the first session, we are just getting to know each other; you can expect a conversation about your current concerns, your goals, and what you hope to get from therapy. You can expect to feel heard, validated, and respected from a non judgmental approach. You can also expect me to congratulate you for taking your mental and emotional health into your own hands. I will answer questions you may have about me as well. Therapy works through relationship and trust - and that can take a few sessions to build and grow.

What you can expect from me

I help people by looking past their trauma and seeing the essence of their person-hood. I am person-centered and believe that you have everything you need inside of you to reach your greatest potential. Despite the trauma, pain, and stress from every direction that you have endured, you are still here and wanting to take steps forward to a better life. If you are willing to have impactful dialogue, trust the therapeutic process, and learn new skills, you are my type of client.
