### Licensed Master Social Worker

![](https://www.columbiapsychiatry-dc.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/20241023_180123-scaled.jpg)

I am a provider at our [Arlington ](https://www.columbiapsychiatry-dc.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/location/arlington-va.md)clinic who provides [therapy](https://www.columbiapsychiatry-dc.com/psychiatric-care/mental-health-counseling-and-therapy/) services!

I can help clients using psycho-education, trauma-informed care, harm-reduction informed practices, talk therapy, gender-affirming care, disability inclusive care, and a dedication to holistic and researched-backed therapy methods. With experience in case management, I have important knowledge about interactions between clients and the systems they interact with. Resources are integral to providing excellent client care, such as referrals to local resources and further psycho-educational readings.

I respect and value every client that enters into a therapeutic relationship with me. I offer a non-judgmental lens into what you are going through, and will provide unconditional positive regard. While we may have differing life experiences, I strive to accept all cultures and backgrounds. Every client deserves dignity, right to self-expression, and a high level of care from their therapist. I will provide care tailored to your symptoms, wishes, and needs. Therapy can be as short or as long of a time as you need, as everyone has a different mental health journey.
