Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Virginia . I have many years of experience in the field of social work with a focus on clinical services. After many of my own challenges, I understand that determining how to get the most out of life can be difficult and knowing where to start may be daunting. I help people from all walks of life navigate their way to wellness through uncertainty, anxiety, depression, and relationship stressors.

My approach to therapy

Foundational to my practice is helping clients identify and address thoughts, feelings and behaviors that prevent them from being the best version of themselves. I am client-centered while incorporating evidence-based practices, mindfulness, compassion, thoughtfulness, reflection, and humor to help answer the why's, and establish how to achieve the best possible outcome.

What you can expect from me

I will offer a safe environment for you to navigate the road to wellness as we articulate your treatment goals, create a plan to reach those measurable goals, and strive for your peace-filled existence. I am honored that you have arrived at my figurative door, I humbly invite you to come in, get comfortable, and let’s talk.
