I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia. I received my Masters from Radford University and have been practicing for 5 years. I help adults struggling with everyday life stressors, depression, anxiety, and many other mental health needs.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we will begin building rapport, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help us create a tailored plan to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked in outpatient therapy for 5 years, I am well versed in helping client's identify the root cause of their challenges and work with them in following progressive treatment methods.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Using CBT, I will help the client in identifying thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, dissecting irrational thoughts, and help in reframing to make the dysfunctional thoughts more accurate.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Using DBT, I will guide the client in how to live in the moment, develop healthy ways to cope with stress, regulate their emotions, and improve their relationships with others.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Using ACT, I will guide the client in helping to stay focused on the present moment and accept thoughts and feelings without judgment.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Using Mindfulness-Based Therapy, I will help the client learn to focus on being aware of what they are sensing and feeling in the moment, without interpretation or judgment.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Using Person Centered therapy, I will provide the client space to engage in talk therapy, without judgement or interpretation, and help guide them in understanding their thoughts and feelings.
