About Me

I am a Virginia Licensed Clinical Social Worker with my Master's in Social Work from Walden University. I have over a decade of experience in practicing in the mental health field, working in a community based setting, substance use treatment, serving as a clinical supervisor and working in private practice. I am integrated within the military community as a military spouse myself, and have provided mental health support to many service members and veterans. I have experience treating adults, children, adolescents, couples, and families. In addition to servicing diverse client populations, I am passionate about helping others rewrite their own story and build healthy, long lasting relationships by becoming more attuned to themselves.

I truly believe the therapeutic relationship is a key component in achieving overall success in therapy. My approach is integrative with a focus on psychodynamic, interpersonal, and cognitive behavioral theories as well as the use of mindfulness and motivational interviewing. We will use a collaborative, person- centered approach that is tailored to meet your needs. I recognize asking for help is not easy. I hope that by creating a safe, supportive therapeutic environment, clients can learn to redefine dysfunctional boundaries, to reconnect with a sense of meaning for their lives, and feel empowered and capable to make lasting changes for themselves and in their relationships.
