Great to meet you!

Hello! I'm excited about the chance to meet and work with you. I earned my Master of Social Work from Syracuse University where my clinical training began. Since then, I worked in community mental health and psychiatric facilities and for the past several years, I've provided group therapy, individual psychotherapy in a private practices and I continue telehealth therapy across Virginia.

My approach to therapy

Starting off, my hope is you'll find a level of comfort which allows you a level vulnerability. It helps to consider core beliefs, challenging negative thinking and gaining more confidence, direction and hope.

What you can expect from me

We all encounter many ups and downs, but without considering perspective, our past experiences may include pain and suffering due to loss, family conflict, aging, trauma, mental illness, life transitions, relationships, to name a few, while seeking joy and purpose in living.
