I am a License Professional Therapist in Northern Virginia. I graduated from Marymount University in Arlington Virginia in 2016. My passion is service toothers which lead me to the counseling field, Prior to getting my masters degree, I worked in a Domestic Violence safe house, and in community mental health. I have over 10 years of experience working with people who have struggled with mental illness, and life stressors.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In the first session you get the opportunity to explore the reasons for coming to counseling. Often, we have so much to express during the first sessions and I want to allow the opportunity explore and express how you've been feeling and how its affected your function Before the end of the session, we will identify themes and challenges to tailor our treatment goals in the sessions ahead.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have experience over ten years of experience working with adults/adolescents diagnosed with anxiety, depression, trauma, adjustment & mood disorders and serious mental illness. I offer an integrative therapeutic approach that aims to connect the associations between stress, life experiences, and trauma. This approach connects how your body and mind may be reacting as a result of these stressors. I can help to identify and utilize your strengths manage your mental health and to make better decisions.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I find that my best work is with individuals between 18 and 30 that struggle with persistent mental health issues stemming from adolescence into adulthood. It difficult to understand how we feel and often not seeking help at a young age may perpetuate the problem. I provide education, encouragement and a safe place to express themselves in a safe place. My goal is to help you gain insight, while developing strategies to improve your overall satisfaction and quality of life. Together, we will identify and utilize your strengths to let go of unhealthy practices and respond better to stress.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I believe that thought patterns, behavior and emotional wellbeing and very much connected. I utilize cognitive behavioral strategies to identify and change automatic maladaptive thinking and responding to strength based thought patterns. I can help identify destructive thought processes that affect emotional wellbeing and teach ways to reframe negative thought patterns and behaviors.
