I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia with extensive experience in residential substance use treatment, IOP/PHP, and outpatient therapy. I specialize in addiction, trauma, and co-occurring mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD, bringing both clinical expertise and long-term personal recovery from addiction and trauma-related challenges to my work. I love to learn and help others so I continue to pursue advanced training in psychodrama, trauma-informed care, and evidenced-based approaches for substance use and trauma recovery. I believe everyone has a story and deserves for that story to not only be witnessed, but honored!
