I love connecting with children, teens, adults & families. I specialize in working with kids & their families impacted by emotional volatility & dysregulation. I am experienced in working with adults impacted by mood disorders & life transitions. Therapy will support you to feel increased hopefulness for your future & in forming healthy connections with others. We will work together to identify your strengths as well as to understand what’s holding you back; Our sessions will include skill-building & developing coping strategies specific to your needs. Therapy will empower you to realize personal growth & achieve your desired goals.
I am a licensed clinical social worker in VA & UT. I am an Internal family systems (IFS) trained therapist from the IFS institute and an EMDR trained therapist. I served as a clinical director of children’s services and also as a school district mental health specialist. I have extensive experience working with children, teens, adults, parents, & families.
Confidential and compassionate therapy is provided within the safety and security of my private practice office in Alexandria, VA. Therapy is also available via telehealth. As your therapist, I provide a safe and accepting space where you can comfortably express your day-to-day feelings, challenges, successes, hopes, goals, and experiences.
