Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinical social worker with a Master's in Social Work from Columbia University (1994). I have worked in New York and Virginia since then. From 1995–2001, I provided therapy and early intervention services for individuals and families dealing with developmental disabilities. In 2001, I joined the Fairfax-Falls Church CSB later becoming a Senior Clinician. I began practicing independently in 2005. I understand how family expectations, identity, and intergenerational experiences can shape mental health, and I bring that lens into our work together.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, collaborative, empowering, and personalized to each client's individual needs. Through our work together, I offer strategies and feedback for a variety of concerns and challenges. Currently, I am offering telehealth services.

What you can expect from me

Taking the first step is the hardest part. Here's what to expect when you reach out. I offer a free 15-minute consultation call to ensure we are a good fit. If we continue our work together, we'll meet for an intake session to discuss your goals, history, and what you'd like gain. Together we'll create a personalized treatment plan and start your journey toward wellness.
