Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in DC/ MD/ VA. I received my BSW and MSW from Western Kentucky University. I received my Doctorate in Social Work from the University of Kentucky. I have been practicing for about 5 years. I specialize in working with adolescents boys and men across the life span in the areas of trauma, depression, life transitions, grief, and anxiety.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, I like to complete a full holistic assessment of your needs in an effort to craft the best treatment approach along with input from you. I approach therapy very collaboratively as your journey in therapy is very delicate and requires my full attention.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Having worked with predominately males for most of my career, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you walk through getting to the root of the issue and providing you practical and applicable interventions to assist you with crafting the healing that you need in order to be a better you!

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I enjoy working with boys and men as we have a unique set of issues. Most of us have experiences that have impacted us within our adulthood. We do not always have the appropriate tools to help us properly cope and move forward.
