Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


As a psychotherapist and licensed clinical social worker helping individuals heal is really important to me. Throughout my years of specialized training and experience, I have worked with adults facing post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, and the lasting impact of difficult life experiences with particular emphasis on active duty /veteran centered care to also include other government agencies.

My clinical emphasis is in trauma-focused treatment, and I am trained in several proven therapeutic approaches, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Prolonged Exposure (PE). By integrating these methods, I tailor treatment to each client’s needs, helping individuals safely process traumatic memories, reduce distressing symptoms, and regain a sense of control in their lives.

Looking to shift your perspective from "What is wrong with me" to "What happened to me"? My ideal client is someone who is willing to engage in an inner deep-dive into what they've experienced and survived. My area of specialty is treating Complex PTSD- particularly military/veterans/first responders, SOF/intelligence communities, women, and survivors of childhood and sexual trauma, and "high achievers". I also treat anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.
