LCSW, 9 years of experience
Hi, I'm a licensed clinical social worker based in Georgia. I've received my Masters Degree in Clinical Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University and I am licensed both in Virginia and Georgia. I am am able to provide virtual therapeutic services to adults and children who reside in Virginia and Georgia. I have 9+ years in the mental health field primarily focusing my work with adults and child survivors of complex trauma, such as domestic and sexual violence and a variety of mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, etc. utilizing an eclectic approach offering a variety of treatment modalities. I am also LGBTQIA+ affirming.
In our first session together we will work towards building rapport, establishing the therapeutic relationship, identifying your therapeutic needs/goals, and gathering your mental health history to gain a better understanding of how best to serve you.
With my experience in working in the mental health field I'm able to help clients gain insight, awareness, and deeper understanding into who they are and their experiences and the way they shape the way they think, feel, and act. I am able to utilize innovative interventions to aid clients in improving their mental and emotional health and overall quality of life.
I thoroughly enjoy working with children/adolescents and adults and providing a safe space to help them navigate the difficulties and challenges they encounter in their lives. I believe people have the ability to truly heal, recover, and make it through the very things that have held them down and stood in their way of genuine and pure joy, success, abundance, living a purposeful/fulfilling life, and being their authentic selves. As a therapist, I'm here to offer clients a sense of hope, support, guidance, and encouragement as they navigate through it all.
I offer an eclectic approach to counseling, utilizing CBT, Motivational Interviewing, EMDR, TF-CBT, TF-IPT, Sandtray Therapy, Play Therapy, Expressive Arts, and solution-focused techniques..
