Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinical social worker with more than ten years of experience in the helping profession and three years of dedicated outpatient therapy work.

My clinical style is genuine, collaborative, and practical. I meet clients exactly where they are and help them build tools that fit their real lives—not abstract concepts or one‐size‐fits‐all strategies. My robust experience, gained at one of Virginia’s largest behavioral health organizations, has equipped me to support individuals with diverse needs, backgrounds, and diagnoses.

My approach to therapy

I integrate a variety of evidence‐based and expressive modalities, i.e.: CBT, DBT‐informed skills, ACT‐informed approaches, Play/Art Therapy techniques, Gottman Method, and Logotherapy‐informed practice. These tools help clients develop emotional regulation, strengthen relationships, process trauma, and build an improved sense of self.

What you can expect from me

My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and judgment‐free atmosphere where you can explore your experiences openly. Together, we identify practical tools that help you:

  • ~Understand your emotions
  • ~Strengthen coping skills
  • ~Improve relationships
  • ~Build confidence and self‐trust
  • ~Create meaningful, sustainable change

Healing is not about perfection—it’s about progress, connection, and learning to navigate life with greater clarity and compassion.
