Therapeutic Approach

My focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths.  My clinical background allows me to offer effective web-based, individualized psychological care. My genuine interest in people compels me to provide exceptionally compassionate support. I treat a number of mental health disorders using evidence-based practices with an emphasis on kindness, cultural sensitivity, and client-centered support. I take time to build rapport with my clients and will go the extra mile to accommodate each individual to make sure your therapeutic needs are being met. Please see my Services page to read more about the interventions I use to support your goals.

We will meet at a time and place that is convenient and comfortable for you. In this safe space, I will learn about your treatment goals, the challenges that have gotten in your way, and the strengths and resources that you draw from. I will use my expertise to suggest effective strategies for coping with change, and we will practice the techniques that interest you. You are in the driver's seat. Together, we will make progress at a pace that is comfortable for you. I promise to be there for you on your journey, as you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and take meaningful steps towards where you want to be in your life. 

I am a Licensed Clinical Independent Social Worker practicing wed-based therapy in D.C., Maryland, Virginia, and Colorado. I earned my Master's Degree in Social Work from Catholic University (non-religious) in Washington, D.C. I became inspired to study Clinical Social Work after serving as a paralegal in the Children's Special Victims Unit in New York City. My goal is to support and empower individuals to overcome trauma, emotional pain, stagnation, and feelings of low self-worth. I have an interest in neuropsychology and apply concepts from neuroscience when useful. I spent my first 7 years as a clinician working with chronically mentally ill adults in a crisis setting and in individual therapy. I am very caring, nonjudgemental, and eager to help.
