Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
I have been in private practice in Charlottesville, VA for the past 16 years. My goal is to understand YOUR goals for therapy and help you achieve them.
I am a certified trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapist specializing in PTSD, trauma, anxiety, depression, sexual abuse, and domestic violence across the lifespan. I also have experience working with first responders, EMS providers and other health care providers. I was a first responder for 12 years and understand the unique needs of the family of first responders. I want to help you define your goals for treatment and determine how we can best meet those goals through exploration, compassion, patience, and sound therapeutic interventions.
