Hi there! Thanks for stopping by

My social work journey has been profoundly shaped by my own lived experiences, so I recognize the importance of empathy, validation, and understanding in the therapeutic process. I believe that everyone has a unique story, and it is my privilege to create a safer and authentic space for clients to explore the different parts of themselves.

I have over 11 years of experience providing clinical and social work services at the inpatient, outpatient, and community level. 

I utilize strengths-based, trauma-informed, and holistic approaches with therapeutic interventions of mindfulness, Experiential Therapy (including art and play), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). 

I specialize in supporting individuals and groups with managing anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, self-harm, grief, substance misuse, interpersonal trauma, family and relationship distress, and social stressors. As a neurodiverse clinical social worker,  I can understand the complexities of accessing and healing through different models and areas of well-being.

I strive to be LGBTQIA-affirming and to use an anti-oppressive and neurodiversity-affirming lens; guided by principles of inclusion and psychological safety. I am passionate about reducing stigma surrounding mental health and helping people strengthen their resiliency and coping skills. I strive  to utilize my privileges for social justice and healing purposes. As a Northern Virginian, I can understand the climate surrounding and within our communities.
