If you are struggling with stress or depression, I can help. Hi, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am licensed in Virginia, Utah, and Nevada. I feel that therapy is a gift you give yourself. I work online as a telehealth therapist. I enjoy meeting you where you are at and helping you get through the rough spots, whether it's finding your voice, identifying the obstacle and need for change, or just understanding from a different perspective. I work mainly with clients who have experience with anxiety, depression, and trauma in their life.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session we will have a brief introduction, then I will gather information about you that will help me understand your purpose for coming to therapy. In this first session we will determine the obstacle in your path and gather a little personal history. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I chose to work in mental health after experiencing the need of understanding mental health within my own family. I am a mother of four grown children and grandmother of six. I've had the opportunity to experience different cultures as I lived in South Korea and traveled throughout the world. I have close ties with the hearing-impaired community, as my husband lost his hearing at age three. I have been able to view life from different perspectives over time which I believe adds insight and understanding to the value of each life!
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I love working with adults and older adults who are seriously wanting to make a change in their life. My clients are looking for emotional regulation and stability and more mental awareness. It is exhilarating to watch their progress as they increase in self-awareness and self-empowerment and find more meaning in their life.

Psychoeducation
When working with different mental states or disorders, I prefer to give some insight on the disorder and the most recent studies that help to manage or resolve the issue.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
The power of thoughts greatly impacts the emotional and behavioral well-being. It is important to identify thought patterns that are not serving oneself and to create new patterns that heighten self-awareness and empowerment. This has been the main modality I have used in treatment for anxiety and depression.
EMDR
This modality helps to relieve the disturbance of maladaptive memories in the memory network. I have used this modality in telehealth sessions using various forms of bilateral stimulation.
