(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
Life can be hard at times, but you don't have to go it alone. With respect and empathy, I'll help you work toward your therapy goals. We've got this!
I’m a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with a passion for helping people heal from pain and find peace and joy in their lives. I’ve worked for 25 years with teens and adults around various issues including adoption/foster care, grief and loss, recovering from trauma, depression, anxiety, self-harm, life transitions, gender issues, relationship struggles, self-compassion, and more. I earned my BS in Psychology from James Madison University in 1992, and my MSW from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1995, with a concentration in clinical mental health. My therapeutic style is warm, empathic, non-judgmental, and strengths-based. Using an eclectic approach, I will draw techniques from cognitive-behavioral therapy, humanistic therapy, solution-focused therapy, and family-systems therapy to tailor treatment for you -- supporting you in discovering how resilient and strong you truly are. I can help you find the self-understanding you seek, and the communication and relationship skills to help you feel better understood by others. Together, we can tap into your personal power and inner wisdom and enhance your sense of self-worth and self-acceptance.
