About

Hi there! I am so glad you are here. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia with 9 years of professional work experience. I have experience in providing trauma-informed care to children, adolescents, families, and adults whom have struggled with trauma and abuse, anxiety and depression, and a range of challenges experienced within interpersonal relationships. I have also worked with teens and young adults struggling with substance use issues along with co-occurring mental health diagnoses. I have used a range of therapies including play and sand therapy, expressive arts, yoga-based therapy, breath work, mindfulness, Crisis Intervention, TF-CBT, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and supportive counseling. I consider myself a relational therapist that places a strong emphasis on the therapeutic alliance. My goal is to create a safe and accepting space where you can be vulnerable, share your thoughts and feelings, and be unapologetically you in all of our sessions together. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming issues that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
