Great to meet you!

I'm a licensed clinical social worker in Virginia and DC with over a decade of experience. My career has been healthcare based and I truly enjoy helping those who are in need of guidance or support when facing health related challenges. I work with adults of all ages.

My approach to therapy

I don't believe in one size fits all. I think we are all unique and have different needs. Therapy can be intimidating for some, but I hope to create a welcoming space where people feel like I'm a trusted partner as we navigate through whatever season of life they are in.

What you can expect from me

My objective with all clients is to provide them with something useful. I think therapy should be about learning- about yourself and how to move through difficult life changes. You can expect that I will be honest with you in sessions, non-judgemental, and caring about you and what it is that you're dealing with.
