Hello, I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Virginia. I received my Masters from Fordham University and I am also a Ph.D. student. I enjoy helping clients rewire their brains and the body to alleviate anxiety, relational conflict, depression, or trauma. My dream clients have a hard time controlling their thoughts or behaviors and want a better understanding of how to make lasting changes.

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

In our first session, clients can expect to learn about my treatment style and what to expect when engaging in trauma therapy. Clients will also have the opportunity to discuss what their therapy goals are and any uncertainty. We will also talk about potential risks and benefits when engaging in brain-spotting and EMDR treatment. I also allow clients the space to discuss important features them that help the building of a therapeutic relationship.

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

My greatest strength is that my treatment feels more like a conversation and less rigid. I attune with the needs of each client and allow what they are bringing into the space to dictate where treatment needs to go.
