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.

Get to know me

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.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

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.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with adolescents and adults who are struggling with regulating their emotions. My clients are eager to improve their circumstances but don't have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel overwhelmed, anxious, and depressed.

My treatment methods

Child Parent Psychotherapy

I have worked with children and their families for the past 10 years. Applying child parent psychotherapy supports families in making sense of what the family went through and learn how to cope with emotions while identifying coping skills.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I have used DBT for the past 4 years in my practice. DBT skills support individuals in coping with distressing emotions and teaches them how to regulate their emotions.

EMDR

I have been using EMDR for the past year in my practice in supporting individuals in decreasing trauma responses to triggering events or people.

Family Therapy

I have been practicing with families for the past 10 years in supporting them through tough times and learning to cope with difficult situations.

Polyvagal Therapy

I am experienced in what the Polyvagal theory is and use it to inform my practice when working with families and individuals.
