Hi! I'm a Licensed Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia. I received my master's from Virginia Commonwealth University and have been practicing for 6 years. I help adults ages 18 and up who are struggling with anxiety and depression symptoms. As an integrative therapist, I provide a blend of psycho-education, emotional support, anxiety reduction, and other coping skills to guide you through difficult times.

I utilize a positive theoretical orientation which assumes that all individuals possess an innate desire for well-balanced emotional/mental health. I believe a person enters therapy with a strong wish, whether conscious or unconscious, to overcome obstacles and free themselves from constraints that are holding them back. I find that everyone needs a slightly different approach to accomplish these goals, so I adjust in technique for each specific challenge. I truly enjoy the experience of guiding my clients through this process and consider it a privilege to play such an important role in a person's life. “Crying does not indicate that you are weak. Since birth, it has always been a sign that you are alive.” ― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
