If you or your teen is facing anxiety, depression, grief, or family concerns, you deserve a place where you can speak openly and feel heard. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of experience supporting adolescents and their families. My work is grounded in empathy and cultural responsiveness, and I aim to meet you where you are. I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology from Hampton University and my MSW from the University of Pittsburgh.
I believe therapy works best when there is trust and an authentic connection. I aim to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where you can explore concerns and feel seen and heard. My approach highlights the strengths you already bring, while helping you notice barriers and consider strategies for your well-being. Depending on what you want to work on, I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and solution-focused brief therapy. We can shape the work around your needs and priorities.
Sessions can give you room to talk about what has been difficult and what you hope will feel different. We can identify strengths, consider barriers, and explore practical strategies related to concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, family issues, or life changes. I’ll listen and work with you to keep the conversation connected to your goals. The pace and focus can reflect what feels most useful to you, and we can revisit our direction as your needs become clearer.
