Open-minded

I am a graduate of both the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and Virginia Commonwealth University, with a master’s in social work. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with the state of Virginia. I have been working with individuals and families for approximately 18 years. I have extensive post graduate training in grief and trauma and how it affects us spiritually, mentally and physically. It leads to patterns of behavior that in the beginning, help us survive. But now, anxiety, depression, anger and many other negative issues are stunting our emotional growth, destroying relationships and placing our lives on hold.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

The treatment methods and tools I utilize

I utilize both narrative and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I feel that it's important to get to know who you are and where you came from. Patterns of behavior often stem from survival. That includes not only trauma but also the way we grieve.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with the LGBTQIA community. I prefer working with women over 25. I prefer not to work with men at this time.
