Accepting New Patients

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia currently providing video psychotherapy sessions. My patients are older teens and adults who are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship and family issues, poor self image and academic and professional stressors.

I earned my Master’s Degree in Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University, where I focused on the impact substance abuse and mental health challenges have on the individual across the life span.

I approach psychotherapy holistically, integrating models such as Internal Family Systems Theory and
Trauma Theory. My theoretical preferences are cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused
treatment and interpersonal therapy. I like to focus on pragmatic, strengths based, and solution focused interventions that will allow me to work collaboratively with clients to develop and support their own
personal goals and journey of healing.

I envision therapy as a partnership that is based on mutual respect and honesty. Therapeutic goals are based on the individual’s goals for self. My therapeutic approach is one that encompasses authenticity, compassion, knowledge and trust. I believe that each of these values are vital to building a strong
therapeutic relationship so that we can create an empathic and non-judgmental path towards genuine healing.
