LCSW, 6 years of experience
Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Sex Offender Treatment Provider (CSOTP) based in Virginia. I received my MSW from Virginia Commonwealth University and I have been practicing for 6 years. I have a background as a Firefighter and EMT and I have experience providing therapy in juvenile and adult correctional facilities. I help juveniles and adults overcome struggles related to trauma symptoms, depression, anxiety, family separation and suicidal ideation so they can achieve their personal life goals.
During the first session, clients should expect to experience a safe, open, nonjudgmental environment where we can begin to discuss the presenting struggles and identify areas of desired growth.
I am a therapist who has real experience overcoming life's challenges. My life experiences help inform my clinical approach and allow my clients to feel genuine concern.
I am passionate about working with adolescents and adults who feel isolated or alone in dealing with their struggles. I recognize clients often feel no one understands what they are going through and that others cannot relate. My clients are dedicated to experiencing positive change, but don’t yet have the tools they need to achieve this change in their lives.

This guy is amazing. He just "gets" it. Puts in the extra to help you think through, not just want you want to hear. He doesn't always think you're "right" for the sake of feeling good, rather he walks you through perspectives and gives you tools to enlighten your own feelings and views. Best I have ever met.

I actually felt heard in my session
I also have experience applying components of CBT, TFCBT, DBT and CAMS in my work with clients.
I am trained in EMDR and I use this modality in my work with a variety of client issues including trauma symptoms, fear, shame and self doubt.
