I am a Social Worker licensed in Virginia with over 10 years of experience. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including: anxiety, relationship issues, career challenges. I specialize in working with POC and persons within the LGBTQ+ communities. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines ACT, psychodynamic, and motivational interviewing. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

My treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Acceptance involves acknowledging and embracing the full range of your thoughts and emotions rather than trying to avoid, deny, or alter them. I work with clients to apply the 4 A's - Awareness, Acceptance, Action, and Adherence.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Solution-Focused Treatment is future-focused, goal-directed, and focuses on solutions, rather than on the problems. It involves a hope-friendly, positive emotion eliciting, future-oriented vehicle for formulating, motivating, achieving, and sustaining desired behavioral change.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Emotion-focused therapy is an approach designed to help clients become aware and make productive use of their emotions. I help clients learn techniques like clearing space, focusing on experiences, and feeling and expressing emotions.
Strength-Based
Strength-based therapy focuses on the internal strengths and resourcefulness of clients as they navigate life. I help clients to highlight their strengths and resiliency.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
Culturally sensitive therapy is an approach that involves understanding a client's background, ethnicity, and belief system. I respect the differences in practices, traditions, values and opinions of different cultures and integrate those differences into therapeutic treatment.
