(she/her)
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Washington, DC but I am also licensed in Maryland and Virginia. I received my Masters of Social Work from North Carolina State University in North Carolina. I have worked in mental health and substance abuse field since 2005. I enjoy working with young adults and up. My clinical focus is centered around those that have concerns with anxiety, depression, sexual aggression and substance use. My therapeutic orientation is psychodynamic which includes aspects of Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral, Solution Focused and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I tailor to the needs of each individual client.
In the first session, we will have brief introductions, then discuss what brought you into therapy and what you are looking to achieve and how I can help.
Over the past few years, I have learned that people are different and require different strategies when trying to achieve their goals. I have been able to stay focused on the goals we create and helping clients find ways to achieve them.
I love working with young adults who are transitioning from high school to college and/or adult entering into their careers. My clients are willing to take the information they need in order to change behaviors within their life. They often feel overwhelmed, anxious and need coping skills to figure out next steps.

I truly feel like I've found a good fit for therapy. Teresa makes me feel safe and heard, and always remembers what I've told her during past sessions. Thank you.
