Greetings, I am a newly licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California and have accumulated 12 years of experience in the field. My focus is on assisting older adults and their families become more psychologically flexible as they navigate the complexities associated with chronic illness. Which can lead to greater resilience, emotional tolerance and better quality of life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our initial session, we will begin with brief introductions and establish rapport before exploring the specific challenges you are facing and your personalized goals for therapy .This will enable me to develop a personalized treatment approach that we can address in subsequent sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
With eleven years of experience working with older adults, I have established a comprehensive framework that fosters trust and support to help you (a) identify the root causes of your challenges and (b) develop a tailored plan that fosters measurable progress to adapt to life difficulties.

Motivational Interviewing
My objective in using motivational interviewing is to align with my clients' personal values, desires, and motivations, ultimately empowering them to pursue a healthier and more fulfilling quality of life.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
My objective in utilizing ACT is not elimination of difficult feelings, but to be present with what life brings and to "move toward valued behavior". Acceptance and commitment therapy invites people to open up to unpleasant feelings, not to overreact to them, and not to avoid situations that cause them.
