Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Arlington, VA

Seasons change and so do we. I believe that strong relationships are the foundation of meaningful change. With experience in schools, hospitals, and community mental health, I create a supportive space where you feel seen and heard. Using a person-centered approach, CBT, and mindfulness, I’ll help you reframe thoughts, set goals, and build tools for lasting growth.

With over a decade of experience in social work, I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals and families as they navigate life’s most complex and vulnerable transitions. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia, my clinical foundation is rooted in medical social work and the psychosocial impact of changes in health status. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, adjustment to medical conditions, and other life-altering stressors that affect emotional and behavioral well-being.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia who helps women navigate the emotional complexities of motherhood and family life. Whether you’re adjusting to a new baby, managing shifting family roles, or feeling stretched thin trying to meet everyone’s needs, therapy can be a place to catch your breath and find your footing again.

With a strong foundation in both social work and law enforcement, I bring a compassionate, grounded, and practical perspective to therapy. I hold both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Social Work and spent eight years in law enforcement, primarily working patrol. This experience gave me the opportunity to support individuals and families during some of the most challenging and vulnerable moments of their lives.

Through my professional work—and my own lived experiences with critical and traumatic incidents—I developed a deep commitment to helping others heal from trauma. I specialize in trauma-focused therapy and work with individuals navigating life’s challenges, processing difficult past experiences, and building resilience for the future.

My approach blends clinical expertise with real-world understanding to create a space that is supportive, nonjudgmental, and genuine. I strive to ensure clients feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout the therapeutic process. Whether you are working through trauma, adjusting to life transitions, or seeking healthier coping strategies, I aim to help you gain clarity, strengthen your inner resources, and move forward with confidence. I’m here to support you every step of the way on your path toward healing and personal growth.
