(she/her)
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia, but also licensed in Indiana and Minnesota. I earned my Masters of Social Work from Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, KY. Throughout my career I have had the privilege of working with youth and adults in outpatient and residential settings. I have also worked in medical settings serving individuals who have various stages of kidney disease, to include post transplant and individuals who may be struggling with substance misuse issues. In all of these experiences my goal has remained the same, which is to help others improve their lives one step at a time. Outside of the therapy space I enjoy spending time with the ones I love and creating new memories. I know that taking the step to begin therapy can be scary, but you are worth it! "You are not obligated to win. You are obligated to KEEP TRYING to do the best you can every day." ~Marian W. Edelman~
In our first session together, we’ll start with introductions and getting to know one another, 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.
Throughout my years in this field I have strived to meet my clients where they are. In doing this, trust is built, achievable and agreeable goals are established, and positive progress has been made.
We all come from different walks of life and aren’t immune to the stressors of life, but taking the first step in acknowledging that something is “off” and seeking assistance is the first step to a life changing experience. Understanding this about one's situation helps me as a professional to equip you with the tools necessary to make positive changes.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I’ve been using CBT in my practice for well over 10 years. It’s helped dozens of clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We’ll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.
Daialectical Behavior (DBT)
I have been using DBT within the last 5 years as a way to work toward exploring other perspectives and truths in various scenarios in your life that are causing you distress. This will be done in a way that doesn’t dismiss your position, but rather helps you consider and introduce an alternative view that may also be valid.

Although she’s only been my therapist for a short time she’s very warm and intelligent. She allows me to open up freely with no judgement and gives really good insight on better navigating my emotions. It’s almost like talking to a close relative.

From our first visit I knew I had made the right choice. I look forward to our sessions and I truly appreciate her knowledge and the feedback she provides.
