My Approach to Helping
Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing telehealth services in Virginia! I earned my MSW from The University at Buffalo in 2018 and have been practicing in Virginia for the past four years. I chose Social Work because I have a passion for helping others and have the strong belief that everyone has the power within themselves to make positive changes in their lives. My motivation for the work I do is seeing the growth in my clients as they make progress towards their goals. I work from a person-centered perspective which challenges me to continue to grow myself so that I can learn and adapt to the needs of my clients. I strive to empower my patients to find their voice through work on self-love and self-worth.
I specialize in working with adolescents and adults, families, couples, and veterans and military families. I utilize different evidence-based treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to target and challenge negative thoughts, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) to explore emotions and learn how to regulate them, and mindfulness to help my clients find peace at the moment through acceptance of thoughts and emotions. Please contact me if you would like more information on my practice.
