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, Internal Family Systems, 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.
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.
