I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Virginia and New York, with 11 years of experience in social work and 4 years in clinical practice. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, burnout, and life transitions. My style is down-to-earth, empathetic, and practical — I believe in meeting people exactly where they are, without judgment or stigmatizing labels. Sessions are available in English and Spanish.
Our first session is really about getting to know each other. We'll do a thorough assessment of your needs, goals, and challenges, which helps me build a plan that actually fits you. It's also your chance to ask questions and get a feel for whether I'm the right therapist for you — there's no pressure, and you don't need to have everything figured out yet. We'll take it one step at a time from there.
One of my greatest strengths is helping people find a way forward when a situation feels unsolvable. Even when it looks like there are no other options, I can usually help find another entryway to progress. I often describe therapy as working on a jigsaw puzzle together — we start with the pieces that are clear and build out from there. I'm empathetic and down-to-earth, and I understand life's mistakes, regrets, growth, and pain, because that's part of being human.
My ideal client is someone in the middle of a life transition, or someone who's tired of carrying something they haven't had space to process — whether that's anxiety, burnout, grief, or trauma that keeps showing up in ways they can't quite name. You might feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of the next step, but you're ready to actually look at it instead of just managing it. You don't need to have the answers already — you just need to be willing to show up and do the work with me. I'll meet you where you are, and together we'll figure out the path forward, at your pace, piece by piece.

With 4 years of clinical experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I've seen firsthand how transformative this approach can be. CBT is structured and goal-oriented — it helps you identify cognitive distortions, examine the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and build practical coping strategies you can actually use outside of session. I incorporate tools like thought records, behavioral experiments, and cognitive restructuring, tailored to what's most relevant to you. I'm dedicated to providing compassionate, practical care that empowers you to make real, lasting changes. I meet you where you are, and we work collaboratively to identify the core issues affecting your well-being. I often describe this process as working on a jigsaw puzzle together — we start with the pieces that are clear and build from there. Together, we'll develop strategies that fit your life, not a one-size-fits-all plan.
With 4 years of clinical experience supporting people through grief and loss, I understand that grief isn't only about the death of a loved one — it can come from the loss of a relationship, a job, an identity, or any major life change. Wherever your grief is coming from, it's valid, and it deserves space. I meet you where you are, helping you process what you're feeling without rushing you toward "moving on." Grief isn't something to fix — it's something to move through, at your own pace. I often describe this work as putting together a jigsaw puzzle: we start with what's clear and build from there, piece by piece, until things start to make more sense. Together, we'll honor your loss and work toward finding peace, on your terms.
With 4 years of clinical experience using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I've seen how powerful this approach can be for people who feel stuck fighting their own thoughts and feelings. ACT isn't about eliminating difficult emotions — it's about changing your relationship to them, so they stop running the show. Using tools like cognitive defusion, mindfulness, and values clarification, we work on accepting what's out of your control and committing to action that actually aligns with what matters to you. I meet you where you are, and we work collaboratively to identify what's been keeping you stuck. I often describe this process as working on a jigsaw puzzle together — we start with the pieces that are clear and build from there. Together, we'll build psychological flexibility so you can move toward the life you actually want, instead of just managing symptoms.
With 4 years of clinical experience using Motivational Interviewing (MI), I've seen how effective this approach is for people who feel torn — part of you wants change, and part of you isn't sure yet. MI isn't about pushing you toward a decision; it's about exploring that ambivalence honestly, without judgment, until your own reasons for change become clearer. I use tools like open-ended questions, reflective listening, and affirmations to help you find your own motivation, rather than telling you what to do. I meet you where you are — including if "where you are" is genuinely unsure. I often describe this process as working on a jigsaw puzzle together — we start with the pieces that are clear and build from there. Together, we'll work through that ambivalence at your pace, until you feel ready to move toward the change you actually want, not one someone else is pushing on you.
