I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia and Maryland, with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals and families. As a dedicated and passionate mental health professional, I am committed to helping clients overcome challenges and achieve personal growth. My expertise spans guiding clients through grief, depression, trauma, anxiety, and interpersonal stress. I utilize a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Gottman Method Couples Therapy. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Board-Certified TeleMental Health Provider, I strive to create a safe, supportive, and therapeutic environment tailored to each client’s unique needs.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we’ll begin with brief introductions before exploring the specific challenges you’re facing. This process will help me develop a tailored plan to guide our work in future sessions. The initial meetings will focus on gathering insights into your unique needs and life journey. This collaborative information exchange, within a safe and supportive environment, will lay the foundation for building a strong therapeutic relationship and creating an effective treatment plan.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As an experienced clinician working with individuals and couples, I offer effective coaching and therapeutic interventions designed to foster measurable progress in healing and well-being. Together, we will work to unlock your true potential, empowering you to navigate challenges, embrace growth, and share your unique gifts with the world.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I employ cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to help individuals identify, challenge, and reframe negative thought patterns. Additionally, I assist clients in implementing effective strategies to manage anxiety in healthy and constructive ways, fostering overall well-being.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
I educate individuals about traumatic events and guide them in addressing and reframing unhelpful beliefs associated with trauma. I assist in fostering a deeper understanding and reconceptualization of these events to help mitigate the ongoing impact of PTSD symptoms, promoting recovery and resilience.
Gottman method
As a Gottman-trained therapist, I help couples build the skills and understanding needed to nurture fondness and admiration, foster connection by turning toward each other to meet emotional needs and effectively manage conflict. I guide partners in developing strategies to respond thoughtfully and repair their relationship when misunderstandings and emotional disconnections occur, promoting long-term relationship health.
