(she/her)
Hi, I am a Licenced Clinical Social Worker practicing in Virginia. I have been licensed for 9 years but have over 30 years of professional experience working with individuals and families, with much of that time being in the school setting. I have helped individuals and families address stress, anxiety, and, relationship issues as they navigate through life. My goal is to support and empower you on your journey.
In our first session, we'll start with brief introductions. Then I welcome you to tell your story and explain the problems you are facing. This will help me tailor a plan we can begin working through in our future sessions.
I have worked with individuals and families for over 30 years. I am genuinely interested in seeing others live their best lives by giving them the tools necessary to remove barriers.
I enjoy working with young and older adults who need support developing skills to help them navigate life challenges.
Other specialties
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I support client in understanding how their thinking, emotions and behaviors are interconnected. I have worked with clients to break the negative cycles of these thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that impact how we feel about ourselves as well as how we relate to those we are in relationship with.
Eclectic
In my practice, I use an eclectic treatment approach by combining elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to tailor treatment to your unique needs. CBT helps us identify and change negative thought patterns that may be affecting your behavior, while DBT focuses on helping you manage intense emotions, build mindfulness, and improve your relationships. By blending these two approaches, we can work on both your thinking and emotional responses, helping you develop healthier coping strategies and a better understanding of yourself.
