Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia. I received my Masters from Radford University and have been practicing for 10 years. I help adolescents and adults struggling with regulating their emotions and going through difficult life situations. My goal in providing therapy is to support the client in living their best life by achieving their identified goals.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
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 treatment plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked with adolescents and adults for the past 10 years, I've developed different skills for supporting clients in (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
