Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the District of Columbia. Maryland and Virginia. I received a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Albany. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Play Therapy, Sand tray, Solution Focus Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

My approach to therapy

I believe each of us has the capacity to overcome life issues and challenges by utilizing strengths. However, we sometimes need assistance working through life’s obstacles and leveraging our strengths. I can provide a safe and empathic space for healing. My experience includes working with individual adults and children addressing trauma, low self-esteem, relationship issues, life transitions, academic issues, anxiety, grief, and depression.

What you can expect from me

I begin with an introductory session, giving you the chance to share your story and discuss your goals for therapy. Together, we'll explore and clarify what you hope to achieve. My aim is to create a warm and welcoming environment where you feel comfortable and secure enough to be open and vulnerable. From there, we'll collaborate in subsequent sessions to turn these goals into reality.
