My practice and pursuit is to help clients discover their strength, resilience, and untapped potential so they can claim the lives they envision.
My style is warm, authentic, and non-judgmental. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment by listening closely and responding with compassion. I will give you plenty of space to share, explore, and deepen your insight. I will also provide direct, honest, and guided feedback so that you feel empowered and confident in moving forward and implementing positive changes in your life. I believe each of us has intuition, and if we are able to listen to it, we can achieve tremendous growth.
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) credentialed in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. I practice therapy using several evidence-based modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT). My work is also rooted in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and Trauma-Informed Care principles.
I work with adults and adolescents. I have a special interest and advanced training in working with two unique populations:
- Pregnant, postpartum, and parenting individuals.
- Young adults transitioning into and out of college.
