Hi, I’m a licensed clinical social worker and a trained psychotherapist. I am licensed to practice in Virginia. I help clients resolve symptoms of anxiety, depression, posttraumatic, stress disorder‘s, and childhood sexual trauma. On the lighter side, I help people who are struggling with making life decisions such as careers, relationships becoming more focused and sports performance. Ultimately, I want to help clients optimize their life.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In your first session, the object is to learn a little bit about you, and what brings you into our service. I will ask you some basic questions to prepare goals and objectives around how to meet your desire to discontinue a behavior, a feeling or thought. This first session is the foundation of the great work that we will be doing together.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Having worked with in mental healh for many years, my greatest strength is in developing meaningful rapport and recognizing the strength in every client. This helps me to pivot the client in a direction that’s most beneficial and optimal.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with clients who are eager to change the way they think or feel. I am best at working with people who feel stuck.
