Hi there! Thank you so much for taking time to view my profile. I am a licensed clinical social worker based in Virginia with 10 years of professional work experience. I have specific formal training in trauma-based modalities such as EMDR, TIR (Trauma Incident Reduction) and extensive experience working with individuals in recovery from substance use/addiction as well as those experiencing first episode psychosis and thought disorders.
I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. I love learning about you, FROM you. Along with traditional talk therapy and formal EMDR or TIR work, I can provide worksheet and home exercises, if that is something helpful for you. I can also provide metaphysical talk therapy and healing from a spiritual space. Mostly, I want to create a safe space for you to share challenges, and grow together!
Learning from your story is extremely important to me, as you are the expert of your life! My hope is to work collaboratively with you to determine goals you have, barriers you may have in reaching those goals, and formulate a plan to work successfully towards these goals.
