Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Therapist in the Commonwealth of Virginia. I gained her Bachelors and Masters from the Virginia Commonwealth University. I have been providing mental health services for over 15 years in the Richmond and Northern Virginia areas. I believe in a client centered environment that is safe, supportive, nonjudgmental, and culturally sensitive with all clients.

I am trained in multiple evidence based models of therapy to include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I have worked with adults, families, individuals with substance abuse issues, sex offenders, depression, anxiety, as well as incarcerated individuals.

My approach to therapy

I utilize a client-centered, trauma-informed approach that emphasizes collaboration, empathy, and practical skill-building. My style is direct yet supportive, allowing me to engage clients in a way that promotes trust while also addressing immediate clinical needs. I incorporate evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and crisis intervention strategies to support individuals experiencing acute mental health symptoms.

What you can expect from me

My goal is to meet clients where they are, empower them to regain a sense of control, and support them in building sustainable strategies for managing their mental health.
