Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of experience working as a qualified mental health professional. I've worked with clients exhibiting a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, and career challenges. In addition to my clinical work within the mental health field, I am also the Vice President of the National Association of Social Workers, Virginia Chapter.

My approach to therapy

My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My area of expertise lies in working with couples who are in relationships, traditional and non-traditional, and those in alternative lifestyles seeking an open safe space to explore their nontraditional relationships including polyamory, polyandry and non-monogamy. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy.

What you can expect from me

I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!
