I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the Commonwealth of Virginia and a Licensed Independent Social Worker in the State of Ohio. I am a compassionate therapist specializing in anxiety, mood disorders, and trauma. My approach integrates evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with mindfulness techniques, and a focus on the mind-body connection. I am committed to providing trauma-informed care to ensure a safe and supportive therapeutic experience.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Starting counseling can often feel overwhelming, but I aim to make the process as comfortable as possible. In our first session, I will begin with a brief introduction and overview of how we’ll work together. You can expect a supportive and empathetic environment where we will engage in conversation to explore the challenges you’re facing and discuss goals that would be beneficial for you. This initial meeting is an opportunity to understand your needs and begin building a foundation for our work together.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My nonjudgmental, supportive, and compassionate approach helps me build and sustain strong therapeutic relationships. With a client-centered focus, I deeply respect and understand the challenges of change. I create an open and safe space where clients can freely express themselves. I gently encourage clients to tap into their potential and try out new skills, supporting their growth and development.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients identify negative thought patterns and to make a connection on how this may impact their moods and behaviors. Utilizing this approach to help guide a change in perspectives, develop coping strategies, and improve emotional regulation.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Incorporating mindfulness techniques, I assist clients in developing greater awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations. This practice fosters a sense of presence and reduces stress, promoting emotional resilience.
Mind-body approach
Understanding that emotional and physical health are deeply interconnected, I emphasize practices that align mental and physical wellness. This holistic approach supports healing and fosters a balanced, integrated sense of self.
Strength-Based
I focus on identifying and building upon your inherent strengths and resources. This approach empowers you by recognizing your existing capabilities and using them as a foundation for overcoming challenges and achieving your goals.
Trauma Informed Care
I provide care that recognizes the widespread impact of trauma and aims to create a safe, non-judgmental environment. By being sensitive to the effects of trauma, I ensure that our work together promotes healing and resilience while respecting your pace and needs.
