My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style. - Maya Angelou Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker/ therapist in the states of VA, MD, DC, DE, and FL. I have 20 years of experience employed in behavioral health facilities, private practice, correctional centers, veteran affairs, group homes and also providing medical social work/ therapy to oncology, emergent, and crisis patients in the hospital setting.

I am certified in personality challenges, ADHD, advance trauma (CCTP-II), grief, and dialectic behavioral therapy (DBT). I believe in focusing on the client through a strength-based approach and building resilience. In therapy I like to work from a dialectical behavioral approach which focuses on improve relationships, mood regulation, mindfulness, distress tolerance, self care to lead with. This is my key in obtaining a positive, lasting therapeutic relationship and striving for successfully outcomes.

Clients will leave feeling empowered to conquer any challenge set before them, mental strength, and accomplished knowing they made the right chose in seeking out therapy. Building mental fortitude is the goal I set out to help my clients accomplish! I look forward to working with you!
