I’ve always been passionate about learning how our life experiences impact our thought process, feelings, and the choices we all make on a daily basis. As a therapist, I embrace the concept of “ the growth mindset” and use this concept while engaging in traditional CBT therapy and Integrative therapy. I truly believe that we are all capable of learning how to use life’s challenges as a platform for personal growth, self compassion, and emotional resilience.
I earned my undergraduate degree in Psychology, and completed my graduate education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of supporting children and adults in a multitude of diverse settings. I’ve served within the Northern Virginia community as a special education paraprofessional, therapeutic day treatment counselor,and outpatient/intensive in home community based counselor. With over a decade of clinical experience within the mental health field, I’ve continued to remain committed to helping children, young adults, and their families embrace emotional and mental wellness, self compassion, and personal development.
When I’m not providing therapy, I can be found spending quality time dancing in my living room with my daughter, taking long nature walks, reading up on new therapeutic interventions, and listening to A LOT of music. My personal mission is to create a healing platform that provides pre teens, teens, and young adults with the therapeutic tools that they need to remain resilient through life's big, and often unexpected changes, while creating a pathway for every client towards brighter days.
