I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 25 years of experience. I currently reside in DC, and I have licenses to practice in Connecticut, DC, Virginia, and Maryland. I received both my MSW and PhD from UConn School of Social Work. (GO Huskies!) I also teach social work at the University of District of Columbia. I am a certified ART - Accelerated Resolution Therapy therapist.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we will both share a little about ourselves to ensure we are a good fit. I will complete a few assessments to best understand your current struggles and goals. We will work together to create an individualized treatment plan to guide our future work together.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I build relationships with clients, practice from a strength-based perspective, infuse humor appropriately and allow clients to make the best decisions for themselves.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I work from a strengths-perspective to assist clients in embracing their thoughts and feelings rather than engaging in self-judgment. This approach empowers clients to live meaningful lives despite the presence of challenging emotions and/or thoughts.
Trauma-Focused CBT
My trauma-informed approach to treatment creates a safe and supportive environment where clients can address and process traumatic experiences. I am a certified ART - Accelerated Resolution Therapist using eye movements to process traumatic memories and desensitize emotional reactivity.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness practice helps clients to develop a greater awareness and acceptance of their present experiences. I teach many mindfulness and somatic exercises, assisting clients in skill build to manage and decrease emotional reactivity, anxiety and other symptoms.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT focuses on helping clients manage intense emotions, reduce self-destructive behavior and improve relationships. I incorporate, mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness clients are supported in balancing acceptance and change.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
IFS helps client explored and understand their "parts" or sub-personalities and roles. By fostering a compassionate relationship with these parts, clients can heal from past traumas and integrate conflicting aspects of themselves. We will work to help you access your core Self, a source of inner wisdom and balance, to lead and harmonize your internal system, promoting psychological healing and well-being.
