Hi, I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia and D.C. In 2017, I received my Master’s in Social Work from Temple University, and I have been in the field for 7 years and have been licensed for two years. My main population to focus on is Adults who are struggling with Depression and Anxiety due to a shift or change in their overall well-being.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and sense of wholeness in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for over 30 years with individuals and families, but in the last 2 decades, my main focus has been working with persons recovering or still struggling with drugs and/or alcohol abuse. Those who are struggling with anxiety and depression and feelings of failure.
I have experience working with clients who have experienced troubled childhood. I work to unpack early experiences and rebuild. I create a safe space for clients to feel comfortable and share their experiences.

Welcome to a space of care, balance, and renewal.

I practice a lot of grace, patience and empathy and respect where clients want to go and the pace they want to grow.
