Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, Social Work Supervisee
Through my work with clients, I balance care for their immediate needs with deeper processing around root causes of pain. I'm a trauma-informed therapist who specializes in working with anxiety, adjustment to life transitions, and attachment-based processing. I take a holistic approach to care and integrate attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, and CBT.
As a longtime resident of Northern Virginia, I know personally that there are unique aspects to living in this area that can magnify the pressure that we feel. I especially enjoy working with parents who want to make sense of their stories in order to bring about greater healing and change in their family life.
Together we will identify your pain points and move to heal the root cause of your suffering. I want you to live a life of flourishing so we will develop a vision for that life and move toward it with purpose and intention.
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor, MA Professional Counseling
I work with young adults and adults who are feeling stuck by life's pitfalls and need help moving forward. Whether struggling with trauma, anxiety + depression, emotional issues or relationship struggles, they know something in their life feels "off", but can't quite place what it is or why. I'm here to help you feel more free, and have language and tools to better help you get unstuck.
I am inspired by the innate human capacity for connection, hope, and healing, especially while navigating grief, loss, and life transitions. In a society that prefers to tuck grief away, I strongly believe grief needs to be seen and heard and I am passionate about providing a safe space to do just that. I work with clients to understand their story and their grief.

You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think".......By A.A. Milne. It is my deepest desire to actively assist those in need of support through life's challenges. I am eager to work with those experiencing a crisis, conflict, or seemingly unmanageable change in the course of life's events. I discretely assist individuals in finding solutions to some of the more challenging issues in life.
I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults in addition to people experiencing life with physical and/or cognitive disabilities. I have many years of experience as an educator, and as a clinical therapist working with people with special needs. My work is very interactive and homework is often assigned to practice new skills.
The purpose of our work together is to build a relationship that fosters an environment that is personalized and centered on your goals and objectives. In meeting your goals and objectives you will not only be able to successfully navigate through these challenges, but be better prepared to face future challenges life may bring.
