Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinical social worker in Washington, DC, Louisiana, Illinois, and Texas. I focus on client-centered care and use evidence-based practices, which are crucial in helping an individual achieve their wellness goals. My focus is helping clients develop strategies to cope with overwhelming emotions, enhancing coping skills and improving relationships. I believe creating a safe space for talk therapy is fundamental to fostering trust and openness.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach encompasses a range of techniques aimed at improving mental health and emotional well-being. The approach is client-centered and focuses on the individual client needs.

What you can expect from me

During the first session, the client should expect to develop a rapport by telling their story and obtaining information to begin setting the foundation for our work together.
