Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Virginia with more than 15 years of experience working with adults, couples/partners/spouses and children seeking help with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, grief and loss, women’s issues, relationship/martial issues, life transitions, foster care and adoption, addiction, self-injurious behaviors, and suicidal thoughts.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I have a passion for helping others. During sessions I provide a safe space to encourage self-expression, inspiration and understanding to meet your needs. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to explore your thoughts and feelings as well as learning coping skills. Please note I only provide virtual sessions.

What you can expect from our first session

I provide a caring and empathetic relationship with you to guide and achieve new goals and increase self-esteem. I will partner with you to offer personalized care that addresses your needs, and helps you find the right path forward.
