Licensed Clinical Social Worker

I am a clinician at our Aldie clinic who provides therapy services!

My ideal client is one that may be experiencing issues such as relationship issues, including with their self, due to past trauma, lack of knowledge, financial difficulties, and more. More importantly, despite the cause is the issues, my ideal client is now at a place where they are ready for positive change. They recognize they do not have all the answers. They are wise enough to know it is time to rely on a professional to help them address the issue(s). My ideal client is ready to do the necessary work to initiate positive change in their own life with proper guidance from someone like myself.

I will provide a safe space to share, free of judgement, because I know the only thing that matters for you is your situation, not my opinion. I have worked with diverse populations from US citizens to foreign nationals. I have years of experience helping people overcome past trauma, manage bipolar, anxiety and depression systems, and address their human basic needs.

My patients should know that I will not want change for them more than they want it for themselves. When they are ready to work on change, I will be available for them. I recognize that understanding contributing factors to problems is one thing. Doing what it takes to address problems is another. If clients reach a place where, when they think of their problem(s), “Enough is enough”, I’m the clinician for them. Despite how uncomfortable change can be having to face certain problems, I will be excited to see the positive change and that’s what I will work for based on the client’s desired goals.

I am a well-educated therapist, with a masters in public health, a masters in social work, and a bachelors degree in business administration and psychology. I also possess certifications in trauma, accelerated resolution therapy (ART), and personal training. I am ready to apply all of my knowledge to help those ready to work on positive change in their life.
