About My Clients
I have great care for all of my clients, and work diligently to help work through the challenges and difficult feelings they experience. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults regarding various issues, including: anxiety, depression, stress, complex trauma, oppression, relationships and intimacy, sexual assault and domestic violence, and LGBTQ+ dynamics. I am licensed in Virginia and DC which means I can see clients who are physically located in either jurisdiction.
My Background and Approach
I view therapy as a collaborative process where the client has ultimate control in the process, and the therapist acts as a proactive and flexible guide and support. With continual work in establishing and maintaining trust with clients, I take an integrated approach to treatment drawing from my training in evidence-based and trauma-informed theories such as polyvagal, cognitive-behavioral, somatic, EMDR, mindfulness, and attachment-based modalities. My goal is to provide a safe, genuine, and compassionate environment where individuals can process their experiences, and learn practical skills to feel better. The safe space we create in therapy helps to: establish and achieve goals; feel more present; and heal from stress, pain, and trauma that can feel unmanageable. I understand how difficult it can be to open oneself up to vulnerability and ask for help, and am genuinely honored to be any part of your process. I am able to provide telehealth services to those located in VA or DC.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Ever since I was young, I knew I wanted to pursue a career path that would make a difference in people’s lives. This interest led me to study psychological science, social work, and social justice. I care deeply about human rights, cultural humility, and integrating anti-oppressive practices. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I am committed to the well-being of all my clients to cater to their holistic needs.
