About Me

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and therapist in Arlington, Virginia. I am committed to helping clients develop and enhance their natural skills and abilities to make meaningful changes in their lives. I bring an empathic, strengths-based approach to promote healing and recovery. I assist clients in developing greater understanding and insight into their behavior and relationships. I practice from a trauma-informed perspective and utilize a culturally sensitive approach. I have extensive experience providing treatment to adolescents, adults, couples, and families in a variety of settings, including outpatient mental health centers and residential treatment centers. I tailor therapy to meet the unique needs of each individual, couple, or family. I utilize an integrative therapeutic approach to treat issues of depression, anxiety, substance use, grief and loss, self-harm, relationship stress, identity issues, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, and trauma. I incorporates evidence-based interventions, including Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Motivational Interviewing (MI). I provide a compassionate and nurturing environment to enhance the recovery journey. I am committed to professional excellence and further education. I regularly participate in trainings, workshops, and other learning opportunities to advance my clinical skills and stay current with research and scientific advances in the field.
