Hello! I have to start by acknowledging what you are doing right now...in this moment! I do not know the "why" you're here, but here you are and you are worth the time, strength and effort to engage with therapy. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), and in this field for about 10 years, it is a honor to sit with people wherever they are currently at in life. People from diverse backgrounds, cultures, ages, personalities and even of various faiths. My goal is to hold space for holistic faith-based Christian Counseling and foster practical skills for healing.
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 us build therapeutic rapport and collaborate for your specific therapy goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
One of my goals as a therapist is to build a therapeutic relationship you feel is safe, non-judgmental and open to the strengths, values, beliefs you bring. I look forward to meeting and joining you on your journey to the fullness God has for your life.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I am licensed in the State of Virginia and offer virtual psychotherapy sessions with weekday evening and weekend availability. I work with individuals who have experienced trauma, going through life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, anger, low self-esteem, relationship issues and chronic illness/pain. I have found the most success for individuals who are committed to showing up and doing the work to achieve their mental health goals.
