About My Clients

I love working with mothers, fathers and couples struggling with the overwhelm of perinatal mental health. Many of these clients also come with childhood trauma that we work through as well as current perinatal mood and anxiety disorders! I also work with clients who come to me for EMDR specifically, as well as PTSD survivors.

My Background and Approach

I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of VA; working on more licenses in other states! I opened my practice in 2022, to begin offering my services via psychotherapy and EMDR therapy as well as my expertise in treating perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. I have a multitude of experiences including hospital social work, hospice, foster care/adoption, intensive in home therapy, individual and couples therapy, perinatal mental health.
