My Approach to Therapy
I am an attentive and active listener. I always bring a level of empathy sprinkled with insight and knowledge in order to connect us with a strong sense of shared understanding. The therapeutic relationship is very important to me, and I strive to ensure you, as the client, are comfortable, heard, and understood.
My Practice & Services
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who earned my Masters's Degree in Social Work (MSW) from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) in 2005. I strive to provide a safe, judgment-free space for adults, adolescents, and children to explore their foundations, current experiences, and potential. I specialize in working with individuals who are coping with depression, anxiety, trauma, and chronic mental illness.
