About

I am an Army Veteran and licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) licensed in the District of Columbia with over 5 years of experience working a therapist and case manager in child welfare. I have worked with active duty military, the military connected population, Veterans and their families. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, trauma-informed/focused, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I have training in EMDR (Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), Trauma Focused- Cognitive Behavioral Treatment and Mindfulness.

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!
